Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation: Adeline St, Shattuck Ave, and others

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

Timeline

Construction is expected to begin in May on Oxford Street and Fulton Street between Virginia Street and Bancroft Way.  The work on Oxford and Fulton Street should be finished by mid-August 2025.

Overall, the project will take approximately ten months to complete depending on weather or unforeseen conditions. 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.
