The State College Sewer Construction project has replaced four miles of regional sewer pipe on State College Blvd. in Anaheim from the 91 freeway to Orangewood Avenue. Three miles were previously installed in the City of Fullerton from Yorba Linda Blvd. to the 91 freeway.

Current Activity in Fullerton:

Bastanchury Road and Associated Road

Minor construction work is required at the intersection to line the existing sewer pipe which will increase the reliability of the sewer and extend the service life.
  • April 1, 2021 lasting approximately one week*
  • Work Hours – 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
  • Impacts: lane reductions, lights, minor noise. Every effort will be made to mitigate all impacts.
  • Traffic control will only be in place as construction occurs.

 

State College Blvd. and Orangethorpe Ave.

Sewer Line Connection – In 2017 three miles of sewer pipe was installed on State College Blvd. in the City of Fullerton.  Now that the sewer has been installed in the City of Anaheim, we need to return to connect the two pipes. A small section of pipe will need to be installed to join the two pipes.

  • Ongoing – May 2021*
  • Monday – Friday 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., occasional Saturdays
  • Traffic may be reduced to one travel lane in each direction
  • Northbound OCTA bus route will be temporarily relocated

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 spring 2021.  Once the project is complete, eight million gallons of wastewater will be diverted to OC San’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.
