Document Description
The purpose of the project is to install sewer pipeline to eliminate septic tanks that threaten contamination of potable groundwater supplies by expanding MSWD’s wastewater collection system. The District seeks to install sewer main lines and laterals within roadways and existing rights-of-ways, and abatement of septic tanks, within MSWD’s service area. Specifically, several sewer improvement sub-areas were identified to target septic tank abatements; these areas include: A, D-3, G, H, I, J-2, K, and along the along the North Indian Canyon Drive / I-10 corridor. The project would involve the construction of 146,200 linear feet (LF) of 8-inch sewer pipeline. Construction is planned to connect 2,600 parcels to the MSWD sewer system and abate over 2,040 on-site septic systems. In addition, the project includes installation of an estimated 2,500 new 4- to 6-inch service laterals. Construction of this project is anticipated to occur over a period of about 20 years, with one Sub Area to be constructed approximately every 30 months.
