BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The sanitary sewer in the East Highlands subdivision consists of an eight-inch sanitary gravity main, manholes, and six-inch sewer service lines. It was originally installed in 1959 and rehabilitated with pipelining in 2005. The current sewer has the following issues:
1. The pipe is vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and has reached the end of its lifespan.
2. Several sections of the clay pipe are back pitched due to the originally shallow sewer depth and additional sewer extensions made over the years.
As a result, the existing sanitary sewer has capacity issues and is no longer able to function adequately under current conditions.
In November 2025, the Water Utilities Department issued Bid 25-206, East Highlands Sanitary Sewer Replacement - Phase I. The project includes filling and abandoning the existing 8-inch sanitary sewer and manholes and installing approximately 3,500 linear feet of new eight-inch sanitary sewer, manholes, and additional six-inch sanitary service lines along Hillside Road, Willow Road, Melody Lane, and Maple Lane.
The work also includes driveway removal and patching, pavement patching, curb and gutter removal and replacement, inlet protection, temporary pavement patching, traffic control and protection, and landscape restoration. In addition, the scope includes construction of a new lift station, along with associated electrical and civil work.
