CATALINA BOULEVARD EMERGENCY PIPELINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Dear Stakeholder,   
     You are subscribed to receive construction updates on the Catalina Boulevard Emergency Pipeline Replacement Project. This project will take place in the Point Loma area on Catalina Boulevard from Tennyson Street to the northeast end of Catalina Boulevard.
HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING:
As part of a Capital Improvements Program (CIP) project to replace the water main servicing your community, construction on Catalina Boulevard, from Tennyson Street to the northeast end of Catalina Boulevard, has begun. Work in this area will include the installation of a temporary water source (high-line pipes) that will allow you to have water service during construction and until the new water main is connected, as well as the connection of services. Please exercise caution when parking along the high-line as tires can rupture the pipe.
The work for the installation of the new 24" transmission pipeline on Catalina Boulevard between Whittier and Voltaire Streets is ongoing. We anticipate completion of this segment by mid/late September 2016.* The crews will then move northeast of Whittier Street to the cul-de-sac; upon completion of that segment, they will move south on Catalina Boulevard between Voltaire and Tennyson Streets. We anticipate completion of the 24" transmission pipeline installation by Fall 2016.* 
The crews will return to conduct the installation of a new 8" distribution pipeline as well as implement final paving and striping towards the end of the project.
Please see information below for traffic lane access on Catalina Boulevard that will be implemented during the installation of the new 24" water main.
  • On Catalina Boulevard between Voltaire and Whittier Streets 
    • Northbound lane - available
    • Southbound lane - available
       
  • On Catalina Boulevard between Whittier Street and northeast end of Catalina Boulevard, at cul-de-sac- closed; only local access will be provided.

    • Northbound lane - available
    • Southbound lane - unavailable; detour will take southbound traffic east of Voltaire Street, south on San Clemente Street, west on Tennyson Street and back to Catalina Boulevard (see below for detour).

Thank you for your patience and understanding while work begins on this project. Every provision will be taken to quickly and efficiently complete the work.
