WHAT'S HAPPENING

The City of Berkeley Public Works Department will be rehabilitating the sanitary sewer system at several locations throughout Berkeley.

Timeline

Construction has been completed within project areas 1 and 2, and will continue into June 2026 for backline sewer work within project area 3.

Overall, the project at each site will take several weeks, at times requiring repeat visits such as to complete maintenance hole rehabilitation, which will extend into June 2026. Construction in the immediate vicinity may not extend for this entire period. Standard work hours are 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday - Friday.

Possible Inconveniences

Traffic control may cause delays in the vicinity of the work site and along detours. Street closures may be necessary but should not exceed 12 hours at a time. "No Parking" signs will be posted along the street 3 days in advance and will be enforced by the Police Department. Please see the posted signs for exact hours and locations as they may vary according to scheduled tasks. All other usual parking restrictions, including no parking for street cleaning, will still be in effect. Access to private driveways may be prohibited during some operations. Emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.

Property Owner and Resident Actions

During the project, the City will replace the sanitary sewer mains and lower laterals. Property owners are encouraged to obtain a quote from the Contractor or any other contractors of their choice to replace their private lateral (upper lateral) and to obtain a private sewer lateral certificate upon completion.
