Site work for a water / sewer project in San Luis Obispo, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The 2015 Wastewater Infrastructure Renewal Strategy (IRS or masterplan) identified sewer service areas with capacity constraints from stormwater infiltrations into the sewer system. One of the capacity constrained areas (Area A) is located north of Foothill and west of Chorro and is currently undergoing sewer main improvements to remove existing clay sewer pipes with new fused plastic pipes using high density polyethylene (HDPE). Other on-going improvements to reduce capacity constraints include replacement of sewer laterals through lateral rebate programs or as triggered by building permit submittals. Additionally, the collaboration with the 790 Foothill development identified the opportunity to improve the conditions in Area A by transferring the sewer serving the project site and adjacent parcels from Area A to the Area C sewer pipe network, which has available capacity. The proposed pipeline replacement project will expand on this initial point repair completed by the development and replace the existing 6-inch sewer main along Chorro Street with a larger pipe from Highland to Meinecke. 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 2025/2026.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
