Sedona City Council approves $593K Northview sewer line replacement project

Sedona's City Council made significant strides in improving local infrastructure during their meeting on May 13, 2025, with the approval of a crucial sewer line replacement project. The council unanimously agreed to a linking agreement with Clear Veil Corporation for the Northview sewer line replacement, allocating up to $593,920 for the initiative. This project aims to replace approximately 400 feet of a problematic 6-inch sewer main and upsize an additional 850 feet to an 8-inch pipe, addressing ongoing issues of grease buildup and preventing sanitary sewer overflows.

The decision comes after years of maintenance challenges, with the current line requiring monthly cleaning—far exceeding the typical five-year maintenance cycle for a functioning sewer system. The council emphasized the importance of this upgrade to enhance the reliability of Sedona's sewage infrastructure and protect the community from potential environmental hazards.

In addition to the sewer project, the meeting highlighted the city's commitment to community engagement and public safety. The council recognized National Police Week, honoring local law enforcement officers for their service. Mayor and council members also participated in the inaugural Sedona Sculpture Symposium, showcasing the city's dedication to promoting arts and culture.

The meeting concluded with a report from an executive session and a reminder of the ongoing efforts to improve Sedona's infrastructure and community services. As these projects move forward, residents can expect enhanced public utilities and a continued focus on community well-being.
