Scheduled Interrupted Water Service: May 16

The following information was provided to the Mission Hills BID from the City of San Diego Public Works Department regarding the University Avenue Pipeline Replacement Project:


You are subscribed to receive construction updates on the University Avenue Pipeline Replacement Project. This project will take place in the Mission Hills, Uptown, Hillcrest, University Heights and North Park areas of San Diego, with work occurring in phases at particular locations along the alignment of the project.

HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING:

As a part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project to replace the water mains in your community, the ongoing work to install a bypass, which will permanently provide continuous water feed to segments of the new water main, will necessitate a temporary water shut off. A water service interruption will take place in the areas listed below on the day and during the hours mentioned.

WATER SERVICE WILL BE TEMPORARILY INTERRUPTED ON MONDAY, MAY 16, BETWEEN 10 P.M. AND 6 A.M.**
  • Washington Place between Hawk and Ingalls Streets.
  • Hawk Street between Washington Street and Alberta Place.

**Special note: If rain occurs prior to a scheduled water service outage, the work will take place on the next dry day. If there is a change of schedule, you will receive a door hanger about 24 hours in advance with the new schedule.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while work progresses on this project. Every provision will be taken to quickly and efficiently complete the work.

This Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project will replace about four miles of old, deteriorating, cast iron water mains with new Polyvinyl-Chloride (PVC) pipes. PVC pipes offer improved service reliability and a longer service life. Improvements also include new valves, fire hydrants and installation of curb ramps that facilitate access for persons with disabilities. In addition, streets that have been excavated as part of this work will be slurry sealed as phases are completed. Any areas of vegetation or landscaping that are affected will be replaced. Construction of this infrastructure project is expected to last about three years.
