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 the 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. 
The work for the installation of the new 24" transmission pipeline on Catalina Boulevard between Whittier Street and the northeast end of Catalina Boulevard, at the cul-de-sac, was completed on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2016. The crews have moved south on Catalina Boulevard and have started work on the segment between Voltaire and Tennyson streets. We anticipate completion of the 24" transmission pipeline installation by late 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.
