City Sewers Current Construction
Soto Street and I-10 Freeway Sewer Rehabilitation Project
This sewer pipe rehabilitation project in Boyle Heights and Lincoln Heights began in early 2008. The approximate boundary of the project is Alcazar St. on the north, Indiana St. on the east, Cummings St. on the west, and City View Ave. on the south.
QUICK FACTS
- About 1.2 miles of sewer pipes ranging from 8 to 15 inches in diameter will be rehabilitated or removed and replaced.
- Construction period: early 2008 through mid-2009
- Construction will generally take place Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., with the exception of a few busy streets where work will be limited to between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
- Estimated Cost: $1,246,000.
- 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 at each location 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. Traffic will be restored to normal when construction has been completed at the end of each workday.
- Trash pickup, deliveries, access to businesses and residential driveways will be maintained.
- Minimal parking impacts and no street closures are anticipated.
- You will be notified 24-48 hours in advance whenever sewer services may be temporarily interrupted.
