City Sewers Current Construction
Imperial Highway and Figueroa Street Sewer Rehabilitation Project
Sewer pipe rehabilitation work is scheduled to begin on this project in summer 2008. The project is located in the South Los Angeles area. The approximate boundaries of the project are 92nd Street on the north, Figueroa Street on the east, Vermont Avenue on the west, and Imperial Highway on the south.
QUICK FACTS
- About 4.62 miles of sewer pipes ranging from 8 to 12 inches in diameter will be rehabilitated or removed and replaced.
- Construction period: March 2008 to September 2009. Weather or other circumstances could shift the work schedule. Neighbors will be informed as conditions warrant.
- Construction will generally take 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. to minimize traffic impacts.
- Construction Cost: approximately $2 million.
- Construction methods will 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 on your street, most of the construction work in most locations will be completed in about 5-10 business days.
- Trucks and other equipment such as pipes will be used during construction, and you may see open trench excavation and debris removal.
- Dust control will be provided in all project areas.
- Enclosures or other barriers will be used in construction areas wherever necessary for public safety.
- Flaggers will be used where traffic is impacted.
- Trash pickup, deliveries, access to businesses and residential driveways will be maintained.
- Parking may be temporarily restricted in some areas, and signs will be posted in advance telling you where and when.
