Document Description
Yucaipa Valley Water District (District) has identified significant erosion occurring at the base of a pedestrian bridge. The District’s gravity sewer pipeline is suspended directly beneath the bridge and conveys wastewater flows to the District’s wastewater facility. Flows are transported through a 14-inch High Density Poly-Ethelyne (“HDPE”) pipe within a 24-inch steel casing. Pedestrian foot traffic also accesses the bridge, which spans over a soft-bottom tributary (“Creek”), as part of a larger trail system within the community. The Project involves the installation of an above-ground temporary bypass sewer pipeline to convey sewer flows from a bypass pump. The temporary trailer-mounted bypass pump will be installed upstream of the potential failure and discharged into the above-ground temporary bypass sewer pipeline. Temporary construction fencing will be installed to protect and secure the bypass pipeline and pumping unit. The installation of the bypass pipeline and pump will not impact the creek bed or bank.
