Public works staff briefed the City Council on ongoing repairs on Laguna Boulevard and urged motorists to avoid the area while crews work.

According to the update, contractors are repairing a 10-inch water/sewer main at an approximate 13-foot depth. Multiple dewatering pumps have been running 24/7 to keep the roughly 18-inch water table lowered, and a bypass has been installed between manholes to maintain sewer flow during repairs. A detour is in place and public works staff recommended that locals stay out of the area while work continues. Staff provided a contact email for questions: pwcares@myspi.org.

Council members asked about timing and whether crews expected a February 1 completion; staff said conditions change daily and could not confirm that date but said crews are working extended hours when possible to restore service.

The department noted that public-works crews and the water district are coordinating traffic control and bypass systems to minimize service interruptions while sewer and water infrastructure is repaired.
