East SOMA Sewer Improvements Project
Overview
The East SOMA Sewer Improvements Project will rehabilitate the existing 100-year-old sewer mains and sewer lower laterals located under several streets highlighted on the Project Maps.
Construction Update: January 2025
We are ramping up our sewer main and lateral lining sequences, which means that our crews will be implementing the Cured-In-Place-Lining method throughout various project locations in the coming months.

Project Background
To minimize impacts to the roadway and adjacent residences and businesses, most of the sewer rehabilitation work will be performed using a trenchless method called Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP). Construction will include improvements to sewer lower laterals within the project area. In some locations, street excavation may be required, and advance notice will be provided.
Project Benefits:
- Address aging sewer system infrastructure
- Increase reliability of our City’s critical sewer system infrastructure
