The City owns and maintains approximately 33 miles of sewer main and 14 miles of lower laterals. In 2014, the City of Albany, along with seven other East Bay cities and agencies, entered into a Consent Decree agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency, et. al, which requires rehabilitation of at least 5,706 linear feet of sewer main per year.
This project is part of the City’s Annual Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program (CIP No. 32000), which formalizes the Albany's annual investment into the City's sanitary sewer system and plans for projected needs on a five-year time horizon.
The current project consists of rehabilitation of approximately 3,7000 feet of sewer mains by pipe-bursting and open cut excavation, rehabilitation of approximately 900 feet of sewer mains by cured-in-place pipe lining, replacement and rehabilitation of manholes, and rehabilitation of approximately 3,000 feet of lower laterals.
Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin on March 9, 2026 with tentative completion by July 2026.
This project is funded by City of Albany sewer fees.
