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

The City`s wastewater collection system includes approximately 140 miles of sewer mains. Some pipes are over 100 years old, and are undersized to handle the current flow rates. Maintenance needs increase dramatically as pipelines reach their flow capacities, or when they approach the end of their useful life. Pipelines in the public wastewater collection system are inspected using specialized video equipment that will prioritize periodic cleaning frequencies or recommend a complete replacement. Based on the assessment, this project is needed for the replacement of sewer mains dating back to 1958 that require high cleaning frequencies, have experienced structural failures due to root intrusions, and have shown high infiltration flows rates during major storm events. 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 in 2024/2025.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
