You are subscribed to receive construction updates on the University Avenue Pipeline Replacement Project. This project will take place in the Mission Hills, Uptown, Hillcrest, University Heights and North Park areas of San Diego, with work occurring in phases at particular locations along the alignment of the project.
HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING:
As a part of the City of San Diego project replacing the water mains servicing your community, construction on Lewis Street, between Stephens and Hawk Streets, on Hawk Street, between Lewis and Washington Streets, and on Washington Street, between Hawk and Goldfinch Streets, will begin on Monday, June 6, 2016** at 8 a.m. to install a new water main.
The contractor will start daytime work on Lewis Street moving east towards Hawk Street. Once the crews reach the mid-point on Hawk Street between Fort Stockton Drive and Washington Street they will switch over to, and continue with, nighttime work.
Remaining work in this area will continue including water main and service connections. We anticipate completion by end of July 2016.
**Special note: If rain occurs prior to a construction activity, the work will take place on the next dry day. If there is a change of schedule, you will receive a door hanger about 24 hours in advance with the new schedule.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while work progresses on this project. Every provision will be taken to quickly and efficiently complete the work.

This Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project will replace about four miles of old, deteriorating, cast iron water mains with new Polyvinyl-Chloride (PVC) pipes. PVC pipes offer improved service reliability and a longer service life. Improvements also include new valves, fire hydrants and installation of curb ramps that facilitate access for persons with disabilities. In addition, streets that have been excavated as part of this work will be slurry sealed as phases are completed. Any areas of vegetation or landscaping that are affected will be replaced. Construction of this infrastructure project is expected to last about three years.
