Webster Street and Clay Street intersection
The sewer work on this block consists of catch-basin and culvert work. The work at this location is scheduled to start the week of December 16, 2019 and should take approximately 1 week to complete.

Sacramento Street
The sewer work on Sacremento Street (Buchanan to Octavia) was scheduled to start in Spring 2019 but had to be postponed until a later date due to pending Muni coordination. That work has since been rescheduled and will now start the week of January 06, 2020. We anticipate the sewer main replacement work on the two blocks of Sacramento Street will take approximately two months to complete barring any rain delays or unforeseen field conditions.

The typical sequence of sewer work is to install the main along the block(s) followed by sewer lateral replacement. Once the sewer main has been installed or rehabilitated, Public Works’ engineering team will review video of the sewer laterals to determine which, if any, need to be replaced. The sewer laterals are the connection between the main and the sidewalk. Crews will then schedule lateral replacement work. Sewer service will not be interrupted during construction. Please continue to use your household and business plumbing as usual.

During sewer replacement, driveway access may be impacted while crews work on your block. Please allow extra travel time should crews need to plate over the trench and create a path for your vehicle. If crews are working in front of your house, please let them know a few minutes before you need to exit your driveway. They may need to create a path of travel for your vehicle. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during construction.

Once the sewer work has been completed on a block, crews will begin preparations to repave the block or rebuild the concrete roadway. Preparations may include installation of curb ramps or bulb-outs, concrete bus pads, concrete street base repairs and asphalt paving.

Please Note: During bus pad installation, driveways exiting on to the bus pad will not have access for approximately 10 days. Also, during re-construction of concrete blocks (roadway), driveways adjacent to the affected lane will not have driveway access for a period of approximately 10 days. This short inconvenience is necessary for the contractor to demolish, excavate, pour the concrete road panels and allow for proper curing time. The concrete road and bus pads must be allowed ample time to cure (dry) before vehicle traffic is allowed on to them. Residents impacted by this scope of work will be notified in advance once the work is scheduled.
