Project Description:
The purpose of the Basin 2 & 3 Collection System Upgrade is to improve the ability of the overall wastewater collection system to manage sewer flows during heavy seasonal rainfall. These improvements will help prevent sewer overflows, as well as help the City comply with regulatory requirements. During heavy rains, the wastewater collection system capacity is overwhelmed by the amount of rainwater that enters the system through infiltration and inflow. This causes sewer overflows at locations around San Mateo, such as at manholes. These overflows contaminate city streets, creeks, lagoons, beaches, and the San Francisco Bay.
The El Camino Real Sewer Capacity Improvements project involves installation of sewers that total approximately 7,800 linear feet of pipe, including new and upsized relief sewers and installation of manholes. The upgrades will reinforce the system with additional capacity, helping to reduce sewer overflows.
Separate notifications will be sent prior to the start of construction to alert property owners and occupants.
