Environmental Services has begun the design of a sewer repair project that will replace and repair approximately 37,000 feet (a little over 7 miles) of aging sewer pipe at 61 locations in southeast/northeast Portland. The pipes to be addressed in this project are between 40 and 100 years old and in need of repair or replacement. Construction for this project will be in two phases, the first performing open trench work and the second phase using trenchless technologies. The design process will continue through the end of 2014 with construction is projected for early 2015.
