Construction continues near the Interbay Pump Station in early January
Work expected to last through 2025
As early as Monday, January 6, crews will begin underground construction near the Interbay pump station. First, crews will install the above ground sewer bypass pipe. This pipe will carry flows while the existing pipe is being upgraded. Then, crews will begin underground work to install a new sewer line by replacing 300 feet of sewer pipe.
Crews will also be installing a temporary 12-inch water main bypass piping system to carry fresh water until the new water main can be relocated and installed. The new water main will provide reliable services for your neighborhood for many years to come. We will update the project website and email the Interbay project list serv once we have more information about the schedule and impacts for the water line installation.
During this work crews will:
- Install 30 inch above ground temporary sewer bypass pipe.
- Replace 300 feet of pipe with new sewer pipe.
- Install a temporary water main bypass to carry fresh water to homes and businesses.
