The project replaces and constructs nearly three miles of two regional pressurized sewer pipelines (force mains) on Westminster Boulevard between Seal Beach Boulevard and Rancho Road/Hammon Place in the cities of Seal Beach and Westminster.  Sewer construction began Spring 2020 and is anticipated to be completed late 2022. Landscape and street restoration will be complete by early 2023.    

Upcoming Work:

Intersection of Westminster Blvd. and Rancho Rd./Hammon Pl.  (City of Westminster)

Work is ongoing to complete the rehabilitation and replacement of the pipelines that go under the Barber City Channel and supporting structures near the Rancho Road intersection in the City of Westminster. There will be upcoming night work to install a protecting liner inside a new manhole.  See a copy of the notice here.

  • Nighttime Work Hours:  8:30 p.m. – 5:00 a.m., M – Th
    • Work will need to take place in the manhole with live wastewater flows in the pipeline. Wastewater flow is typically lower during the nighttime hours.  OC San will continue to monitor the wastewater flow levels in the pipe. If working conditions are safe during the day, nighttime work hours may shift to day work.
