The Capital Improvement Program includes projects in the plant and collection system. The following information provides an overview of some of the program’s current projects.

Pipeline Cleaning & Televising Phase 3: This project is part of a comprehensive Condition Assessment Program to clean and televise each and every pipeline in the District’s 73-mile collection system. The data collected is used to prioritize defective pipelines and scope out repair, rehabilitation, and/or replacement projects.  The consultant is working toward final project closeout.

888 Howe Road Sanitary Sewer Replacement: This project will construct a new sewer alignment within a new easement, and abandon the existing sewer alignment in place.  The project will primarily construct 442 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer and three manholes.  Construction work is complete.

Trunk Manholes Rehabilitation:  This project will rehabilitate 16 trunk manholes on Martinez Refining Company property, primarily addressing corroding frames and covers, corroding steps, corroding concrete, and delaminating liners.  New interior coatings will be installed, and a few manholes will be raised or lowered to grade. A contractor was accepted for the project and pre-construction took place in January 2026. Construction began the week of April 20th.

Influent Valve Pit Knife Gate Valve Replacement: A design review and construction planning meeting was held in March 2026. Acquisition of the knife gate valve, two plug valves, and other materials and equipment necessary to complete the project is now in progress.
