New construction of a water / sewer project in San Luis Obispo, California. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a water / sewer project.

The Silver City Lift Station is a Smith and Loveless dry/wet well design and was put into service in 1971. The existing six-inch asbestos concrete force main pumps under San Luis Obispo Creek (it is encased under the creek) approximately 765 feet to a manhole upstream of the Laguna Lift Station. The Silver City lift station operates with two 450 gpm, 18.5 horsepower pumps. The station replacement will be located in the same current location proximity. An additional property acquisition and easements will be required to relocate both the new lift station and force main. In addition to the force main replacement, it will require the pipe to be encased in the San Luis creek crossing. The replacement lift station will accommodate a portion of the future development anticipated in the Margarita Area Specific Plan. This project is included in the City of San Luis Obispo's FY 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of October 4, 2023, information regarding a design team or a general contractor is not available. Funding is anticipated from 2023 to 2026.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
