The State College Sewer Construction Project is one step closer to being completed. Crews are completing the final sewer work to then complete the street restoration. Ongoing activities are as follows:

McDonald’s/Stater Bros. and Romneya Dr./Placentia Ave. Intersections

Monday (8/2) and Tuesday (8/3) crews will be working simultaneously on State College Blvd. in the intersections of McDonald’s/Stater Bros. and Romneya Dr./Placentia Ave. to complete the abandonment of the old sewer pipeline that is no longer in service since a new pipeline has been constructed.

  • Work hours 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Northbound and southbound through lanes on State College Blvd. will be open.
  • No left turns or cross traffic will be permitted at both intersections during work hours.

Miraloma Ave. and Miller St. Intersection

The sewer pipe to support the recycling of water has now been installed. A bypass line is currently in place to allow sewer connections to be made.

  • Ongoing – August 2021*
  • Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • K-rail (concrete barriers) have been installed to restrict the work area.
  • Travel lanes will be reduced.  Left turn lanes in every direction will be restricted as the work is occurring.
  • Left turns from westbound Miraloma Ave. to Miller St. will be restricted 24/7.

State College Blvd. from La Palma Ave. to Romneya

Sewer installation is complete, and local sewer lines have been connected to the regional sewer pipe. Crews will be performing pipe abandonment work of the old pipe.

  • Ongoing – August 2021*
  • Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Street Restoration: Ongoing through summer 2021. This includes final paving and landscaping.

We encourage you to use alternate routes and allow extra time to reach your destination. For your safety and that of our crews, we ask that you obey reduced speed limit signs and traffic restrictions as these will change as work moves along State College Blvd.

We thank you for your continued patience as we work to improve Orange County’s infrastructure. To learn more about this project visit www.ocsan.gov/StateCollege.

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.
