As critical infrastructure, OCSD’s service is deemed essential and imperative during the response to COVID-19. OCSD will continue to operate for both, the public health and safety of Orange County and the State of California. Construction on the State College Sewer Project will continue as scheduled.

The State College Sewer Construction project in the City of Anaheim is now entering the last pipe installation phase. With three miles of pipe in the ground, installation of the 4th mile is getting ready to begin between Vermont Avenue and Underhill Avenue. Due to conflicting utilities in the ground, the new pipe must be installed in the same alignment as the current pipe requiring the need to bypass the flow to maintain service to the community. The work is being split into two segments, the first taking place now from Vermont Avenue to Santa Ana Street. To minimize risk to the community and expedite the work, crews will be working 20-hour shifts in this area starting on Thursday, April 30. See below for more details on the work taking place.

Vermont Avenue to Santa Ana Street

Pipe installation and bypass operation. Longer workdays are required to complete the work as quickly as possible and minimize risk to the community. The work hours have been adjusted from what was previously reported to take advantage of daylight and reduced traffic due to the Governor’s stay-at-home order. Once the order is lifted the hours will return to 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.

• April – fall 2020*
• Monday – Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. (20-hour workdays)
• Traffic impacts consist of lane reductions and left turn restrictions at Vermont and South Street. Only one travel lane will be allowed for northbound traffic. Be aware that shoring may trigger minor vibration, which are closely monitored.
• See NOTICE for details. English and Spanish.

Waterline Replacement: La Palma to Lincoln Avenue

A city of Anaheim waterline is being replaced concurrently with the sewer installation project to minimize impact to the community. Part of the work is taking place within the existing construction area; however, portions of the work will be done within the travel lanes. The work will be done at night to prevent disruption to water service and to impact on the road as the sewer work occurs. Turn restrictions may occur intermittently.

• As early as Monday, May 4 – August 2020
• Monday – Saturday, 5 p.m. – 3 a.m.
• See NOTICE for details.  

Underhill Avenue to La Palma Avenue

Sewer replacement which involves shoring, excavation, and installation of the pipeline. Shoring may trigger minor vibration which is closely monitored.

• Ongoing – Spring 2020*
• Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
• See NOTICE for details.

SR- 91 to La Palma Avenue

Sewer installation is complete. Current work consists of lateral connections and street restoration.  Lane reductions and turn restrictions may be necessary including into Sycamore Plaza and Granada Square.

• Ongoing – Spring 2020*
• Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Saturdays 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Orangewood Avenue to Ball Road – Final Phase

We are one step away from being done in the Platinum Triangle area. Final details are pending and should wrap up in the next couple of weeks.

*Dates are subject to change due to operational factors or inclement weather.

Project Description:

The project is replacing four miles of sewer along State College Boulevard from the SR-91 to Orangewood Avenue in the City of Anaheim. Construction began in late summer 2018 and is scheduled to be completed in 2020. Once the project is complete, eight million gallons of wastewater will be diverted to OCSD’s Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley for treatment before being sent to the Groundwater Replenishment System.  This is Phase B of a two-phase project; Phase A was completed in 2017 and took place from Yorba Linda Blvd. to SR-91 in the City of Fullerton.
