Lower Powell Green Street and Sewer Repair Project Update: September 29, 2016

Work continues on an Environmental Services project to replace and repair 4,508 feet of aging sewer pipe. The work includes constructing 22 green street planters and planting trees to absorb rain and reduce stormwater runoff. The project will keep about 1.6 million gallons of stormwater out of sewers annually, increase sewer system capacity and reduce basement backups.

DEVELOPMENTS OF NOTE

Crews will be working Saturday, October 1, to repair a section of mainline sewer pipe underneath SE Powell Boulevard from SE Brooklyn Street south toward SE 11th Avenue

• This work is part of a two-week effort to repair a bend in the mainline pipe that was identified during quality control inspections.
• Some construction activities will periodically close access to SE 11th Avenue from Powell Boulevard to non-local traffic. Local access for residents and those conducting business on SE 11th Avenue between SE Powell Boulevard and SE Franklin Street will be maintained.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE UPDATES

Working for clean rivers

Over one-third of Portland's 2,500 miles of sewer pipes are more than 80 years old. Portland combines sewer improvements that replace or repair Portland’s aging sewer pipes with green streets, ecoroofs, trees and other green infrastructure to increase sewer system efficiency, and protect water quality, public health, and the environment. Green infrastructure keeps stormwater out of the sewer system, filters pollutants, provides habitat and increases neighborhood green space for healthier watersheds.

Humboldt Sewer Repair Project Update: September 28, 2016

Construction Coming Soon

Environmental Services will begin construction this fall on a project to repair or replace over 17,000 feet (over 3 miles) of public sewer pipes in the Humboldt neighborhood. This work will also include repairing or adding over 2,000 feet of service laterals that connect houses and businesses from the curb to the public sewer in the street. Most of the sewer pipes are more than 85 years old and are deteriorating due to age. The project will protect the public and the environment by reducing the possibility of sewage releases to homes, businesses and streets.

A project map is available on the webpage at www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/humboldt.

SCHEDULE

Construction is scheduled to begin in November and take about a year to complete.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

Over the next several months, crews will be locating utilities, surveying, inspecting sewer pipes and manholes, tree trimming, installing erosion controls, and mobilizing equipment and materials. These activities occur over time, rather than all at once.

For more information about these activities, click here.

FOR MORE INFORMATION

Visit the project web page at www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/humboldt.

During construction, we will be sending regular email updates to keep you posted about the schedule, construction activities, possible traffic detours and delays, parking restrictions and other impacts. To be added to the project's email update list, email Rhetta Drennan with "Humboldt" in the subject line. To receive project traffic alerts by text, include your mobile phone number and the name of your carrier in the body of the email. Major mobile networks are capable of this, but message and data rates may apply.

If you have any questions or concerns, such as business operations, disability issues or medical or business deliveries, contact Rhetta at 503-823-6006.

Thank you for your cooperation during this important sewer repair project.
