Construction on the North Auburn Wastewater Pipeline Project is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. This important project will make improvements to our community’s existing wastewater capacity.
About the Project
The North Auburn Wastewater Pipeline, which is Phase I of the Highway 49 wastewater capacity improvement project, includes installation of a new wastewater pipeline (force main). The pipeline will connect existing infrastructure to the Placer County Regional Pump Station on Joeger Road in unincorporated western Placer County.
Construction will be in two phases. Phase I will begin in early 2025 and will include installation of a 24-inch force main between Quartz Drive and the Placer County Regional Pump Station on Joeger Road. Phase II will include construction of a 16-inch force main between Edgewood Road and Quartz Drive, and will be scheduled at a later time.
Here’s what to expect:
Construction will take place in phases on portions of Quartz Drive, Park Drive, Richardson Drive and Joeger Road. Check back often for schedule updates.
Construction hours will typically be from 7 a.m.– 6 p.m., Monday–Friday, with possible Saturday work.
During construction, the project team will closely monitor all aspects of the project.
Dust mitigation and environmental protection measures will be in place during construction.
There will be no disruption to existing sewer service.
Access to all properties within active construction zones will be maintained at all times.
Work will include trenching, drilling and paving, and some noise impacts can be expected.
Traffic controls will be in place near construction areas, with some anticipated traffic delays.
Two-way traffic will be maintained.
Construction is anticipated to take place from February 2025 to late 2025.
