Council approves Phase 6 of sewer rehabilitation; staff to pursue low-interest state loan
Summary
Council approved an initial study and a mitigated negative declaration for Phase 6 of the city's sanitary sewer rehabilitation (about 16,000 linear feet); staff said they will apply for a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan to finance the project and seek to begin construction in early 2025 with completion in summer 2026.
The council unanimously approved an environmental finding and the project resolution for Phase 6 of the city's sanitary sewer rehabilitation, a program staff described as replacing roughly 16,000 linear feet of pipeline in neighborhoods north of Dracena Park.
"We're in the process of applying for, and we believe we will be able to apply in this month by the end of this year, to the state for a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan," Public Works Director Daniel Gonzalez told the council. City Engineer John Wenger added that completing Phase 6 would bring the system to about 86% rehabilitated and that Phase 7 design is planned to start soon to complete the remaining footage.
Staff said the final design for Phase 6 is expected by February 2025, with bid documents and a possible award later in 2025 and construction expected to begin in early 2026 and finish in summer 2026. The council voted to approve the resolution as amended by the city attorney to clarify a notice-of-determination filing.
