Construction work beginning near the Interbay Pump Station

Expect to see crews and construction vehicles as early as November 18

Starting as early as Monday, November 18, crews will begin preparing the area around the Interbay Pump Station near West Garfield Street for the installation of the temporary bypass pipe. This pipe will carry sewage while the current pipe is being upgraded. This work is expected to last through the end of the year. 

During this work crews will:

  • Locate buried utilities.
  • Remove and reinstall security fencing around the Interbay Pump Station under the South side of the Magnolia Bridge.
  • Raise maintenance holes to connect to the temporary pipe.
