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 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 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 has begun. 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 discussed 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.
