This project replaces two existing side-by-side regional sewer pipelines. Only one pipeline can be replaced at a time since the other pipe needs to be in service in order to collect and transport wastewater for treatment and recycling 24/7. The contractor is currently working on the first of the two pipelines.
The contractor will need to excavate down to the existing pipeline, remove it, and construct a new pipeline in its place. If necessary, median, curbs, landscaping, and trees will need to be removed. They will be replaced after sewer work is completed and restoration takes place.
Between Seal Beach Blvd and Bolsa Chica (City of Seal Beach)
Approximately a 2-mile stretch of sewer pipeline has been installed. Paving activities are ongoing.
Seal Beach Pump Station (Intersection of Westminster Blvd and Seal Beach Blvd)
