In May, we finished the first phase of a major sewer upgrade in Jennings Lodge. The second phase is scheduled to begin in August 2025 and is expected to conclude in early 2026.

Project Overview

In the second phase of the project, we'll continue to repair or replace sections of approximately 60-year-old wastewater main pipes. This project is part of our larger Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) Reduction Program.

I&I is a problem where old, damaged pipes become inundated with excess water during heavy rain. Cracks or other deficiencies allow groundwater to seep into wastewater main pipes, resulting in significantly higher-than-normal flows. The sudden influx can overwhelm the treatment plant systems, potentially resulting in raw sewage overflowing into the river.

The result: Replacing or repairing faulty pipes reduces the need for frequent, costly “Band-Aid fixes” and protects our precious rivers by keeping raw sewage out.

Potential Project Impacts

We have carefully planned to minimize disruptions; however, affected areas may experience delays and temporary lane closures during work. During construction, heavy equipment and materials will be in the work area. These areas will be marked with cones and/or caution tape. There may also be some noise and dust during construction hours.

On-site crews will communicate directly with homeowners about any direct impacts.

Project Schedule

Schedule Lookahead

We will update this page with the schedule lookahead when available.

Private Improvements in Public Right-of-Way

In some locations, crews must work outside the public right-of-way in areas called easements or within undeveloped public right-of-way. Work crews will coordinate with homeowners with easements in or near their property.
