Report
Summary
This project is part of the 2010 Sanitary Sewer Relief Program. The intent of the Sanitary Sewer Relief Program is to review and manage the capacity of Phoenix's wastewater collection system to avoid sanitary sewer overflows. Managing capacity is a basic tenet of the City's Capacity Management, Operations and Maintenance Program. Capacity concerns are triggered when the City's sanitary sewer model indicates sewer segments are flowing at or above 80 percent of the maximum capacity during peak dry weather flows.
Sanitary Relief Sewer Project 2A involves installation of approximately 2,312 linear feet of 15-inch sanitary sewer line along 19th Avenue from Ironwood Drive to Peoria Avenue, as well as extension of 10 4-inch and 6-inch service lines to the new 15-inch sanitary sewer line. The new line will replace the existing 12-inch sewer line. The existing line along 19th Avenue will be abandoned in place.
