Construction on the Taft Avenue Sewer Improvement Project is set to begin in mid-October 2024 near the intersection of Taft Avenue and Glassell Street in the City of Orange. As the project progresses, work will move east toward Tustin Street. The project, which is expected to be completed by summer 2026, will increase the capacity of the sewer system by upsizing the existing sewer pipe.
This essential project will enhance both the reliability and capacity of the sewer system in the area. OC San will continue to provide updates throughout the construction process and appreciates the community’s patience during this important infrastructure improvement.
Upcoming Activities:Â Project signs will be installed within the next two weeks.
Project Description
The Taft Avenue Sewer Improvement Project is scheduled to begin as early as mid-October 2024. The project is slated to replace and relocate a portion of the Taft Sewer in the City of Orange.
The project will upsize almost two miles of pipe along Taft Avenue from Glassell Street to Sacramento Street, northbound on Sacramento Street to Brentford Avenue, to Breckenridge Street to Meats Avenue. The current pipe ranges between 12 to 15 inches and will be upsized to 18 to 21 inches.
A portion of the sewer that currently runs along Tustin Street will be relocated to N. Sacramento Street where there is more room to install a larger pipe and facilitates the future maintenance of the pipeline.
