EPA Phase II Historic Utilities Rehabilitation Project
The City of Folsom is getting ready to start Phase II of its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Historic Utilities Rehabilitation Project. As part of the ongoing effort by the City’s Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP) to manage the operation and maintenance of the City’s sewer system, the project will replace deteriorating pipelines that are beyond their serviceable life.
The project will provide adequate capacity, repair physical deficiencies, and provide ongoing preventive maintenance to ensure a high level of service from the sewer and water systems. The City identified an aging portion of the wastewater collection system as being critical for replacement in order to minimize the potential for sanitary sewer overflows and to ensure continued serviceability. In addition, several deteriorating water pipelines will also be replaced to ensure continued water service and quality. EPA grant funds will be used for about 60 percent of the sewer portion of the project.
Expansion and capacity increases in these locations are not proposed as part of this project; however, some of the pipes that are currently six inches or less in diameter will be replaced with eight-inch-diameter pipe to accommodate closed circuit television camera equipment used for inspection and maintenance.
The project is located within the following boundaries: Bidwell Street on the south, Glenn Drive on the east, Wales Drive on the north, and Dean Way/Coloma Street on the west. It consists of the construction of 3,650 lineal feet of 8-inch water line, 2,085 lineal feet of 8-inch sewer line, 1,355 lineal feet of 12-inch sewer line, 48-inch diameter sewer manholes, water services, sewer services, connections to existing utilities, surface restoration, and the construction of associated appurtenances.
