Ongoing Projects
Alarid St and Camino Sierra Vista (Insituform) will install new liners inside approximately 16,000 feet of sanitary sewer pipe. Insituform will utilize a trenchless technology process where the new liners will be pulled through the existing sewers line by pulling the line through the existing manhole openings, which means no excavation of roads is required.

Once completed, we will move down to the intersection of Mercer St and Onate Rd. Signs will be posted to alert the public of their presence.
