As critical infrastructure, OCSD’s service is deemed essential and imperative during the response to COVID-19. OCSD will continue to operate for both, the public health and safety of Orange County and the State of California. Construction on the State College Sewer Project will continue as scheduled.
The State College Sewer Construction project in the City of Anaheim is ongoing. Crews are currently focused on installing the new sewer, connecting the local sewer to the new pipeline, and street restoration in the completed areas. See below for more details:

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 2020. 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.
