| Dear Neighbor,
The 30th Street Pipeline Replacement Project will replace 5.7 miles of water main within the North Park, Golden Hill and Southeastern communities. This project will help the city of San Diego better serve its communities, improve service reliability, reduce maintenance needs, and lessen the risk of future water main breaks. The project will also increase pedestrian access by installing curb ramps at several intersections throughout the project area.
What’s Anticipated (December 2 – January 6, 2019)
For the next month, construction will continue in the North Park and Golden Hill communities.
- Construction Area #1: The crew is continuing to install temporary high lines between University and Polk Ave. Once that work is complete, the installation of the 36” water main will start. The working hours will be Monday through Thursday from 8 p.m. in the evening to 6 a.m. the next morning. In business areas, the working hours may change to 9 pm to 7 am the next morning. A note of caution: road closures and detours will be in effect; vehicles parked in “Tow Away” zones will be towed.
- Construction Area #2: The crew will continue water main installation on 30th St. between Upas St. and University Ave. This work will include a 36” transmission main, and services for the 12″ distribution. The crew will also transfer water services and pour meter box panels during the day, without parking restrictions. The working hours will be Monday through Thursday from 8 p.m. in the evening to 6 a.m. the next morning. In business areas, the working hours may change to 9 pm to 7 am. There will be temporary water shut-offs, and advanced notices will be distributed to affected customers. A note of caution: road closures and detours will be in effect; vehicles parked in “Tow Away” zones will be towed.
- Construction Area #3: The crew is installing the new water main on Thorn St. between 28th St. and 30th St. The working hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There will be temporary water shut-offs, and advanced notices will be distributed to affected customers.
- Construction Area #4: The crew will start installing the new water main. For this work, temporary road closures on 30th St. at Commercial St., as well as detours, will be in place. The working hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There will be temporary water shut-offs, and advanced notices will be distributed to affected customers.
Please note for all work areas: No work will take place during rain events. All scheduled work that is impacted by a rain event will be postponed and pushed back to the next dry working day.
What to Expect
Any work that requires water service shut-offs will only occur after advanced notice has been provided to residents and stakeholders via door hangers.
Please remember to always exercise caution near the work zone and note that:
- Road closures, detours and restricted access may be implemented during working hours.
- Speed limits will be reduced in the construction area.
- Safety measures will be implemented to ensure bicyclists and pedestrians will be allowed access throughout the project.
- Access to homes, businesses and for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
