Location of Diversion Structure

What is the Bushard Diversion Structure?

Several manhole covers are noticeable in the roadway surface on Bushard Street. These manholes provide access to a below grade large concrete structure, the Bushard Diversion Structure. This structure is critical to the conveyance of wastewater and is responsible for diverting wastewater flows through eight- to nine-foot diameter sewer pipelines to either the Fountain Valley or Huntington Beach facility for treatment.
