Construction continues on the State College Sewer project in the City of Anaheim. Crews are currently focused on installing the new sewer, connecting the local sewer to the new pipeline, and street restoration in the areas where the sewer has already been installed. See below for more details:

Vermont Avenue to Santa Ana Street

Pipe installation and bypass operation are ongoing. Longer workdays are required to complete the work as quickly as possible and minimize risk to the community.

• Traffic impacts consist of lane reductions and left turn restrictions at Vermont and South Street. Only one travel lane will be allowed for northbound traffic. Be aware that shoring may trigger minor vibration, which are closely monitored. Sound blankets are installed to minimize noise and dust from the site.

Waterline Replacement: La Palma to Lincoln Avenue

A city of Anaheim waterline is being replaced concurrently with the sewer installation project to minimize impact to the community. The work will be done at night to prevent disruption to water service and to impact on the road as the sewer work occurs. Turn restrictions may occur intermittently.

Project Description:

The project is replacing four miles of sewer along State College Boulevard from the SR-91 to Orangewood Avenue in the City of Anaheim. Construction began in late summer 2018 and is scheduled to be completed in spring 2021.  Once the project is complete, eight million gallons of wastewater will be diverted to OCSD’s Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley for treatment before being sent to the Groundwater Replenishment System.   This is Phase B of a two-phase project; Phase A was completed in 2017 and took place from Yorba Linda Blvd. to SR-91 in the City of Fullerton.
