City Sewers Current Construction
Cahuenga Terrace and Melrose Avenue
Sewer Rehabilitation Project
This sewer pipe rehabilitation project began in early 2008. The approximate boundary of the project is Cahuenga Terrace on the north, Cassil Place on the east, La Brea Avenue on the west, and Melrose Avenue on the south.
QUICK FACTS
- About 1.1 miles 6,8, and 10-inch sewer pipe is being rehabilitated, or removed and replaced.
- Four existing maintenance holes are being repaired.
- Construction period: early 2008 through spring 2009. Weather or other circumstances could shift the work schedule.
- Construction generally takes place Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., and on major streets from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
- Some nighttime work (9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) may be required.
- Estimated Cost: $1.1 million.
- Construction methods include sewer pipe lining (rehabilitates defective sewers without excavation and surface disruption), and sewer pipe removal and replacement (performed by “open cut” or trenching, a method that is typically used where sewers are shallow).
- In order to minimize disruption in the streets, most of the construction work at each location is being completed in about 5-10 business days.
- Trucks and other equipment such as pipes are being used during construction, and you may see open trench excavation and debris removal.
- Dust control is being provided in all project areas.
- Enclosures or other barriers are being used in construction areas wherever necessary for public safety.
- Flaggers are being used where traffic is impacted. Traffic will be restored to normal when construction has been completed at the end of each workday.
- Trash pickup, deliveries, and access to businesses and residential driveways are being maintained.
- Parking may be temporarily restricted in some areas, and signs will be posted in advance telling you where and when.
- You will be notified 24-48 hours in advance whenever sewer services may be temporarily interrupted.
