Westminster Sewer Construction Update – January 14, 2020

Home >> News >> Westminster Sewer Construction Update – January 14, 2020

Between Bolsa Chica and Rancho Road

This project replaces two existing regional sewer pipelines.  Only one pipeline can be replaced at a time since the other needs to be in service in order to continue to collect and transport wastewater for treatment and recycling. 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. Some odors may be noticeable when working on the existing pipeline.

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.

Day work hours:  7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday – Friday.

During work hours, Westminster Blvd. will be reduced to one lane in each direction. Please note some activities may occur outside these work hours within the k-rail sections between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Dates and times are subject to change due to operational factors or inclement weather.

Between Seal Beach Blvd and Bolsa Chica

Approximately a 2-miles stretch of sewer pipeline has been installed.  Paving activities are taking place and sections of k-rail will be removed.
