• Our investment in this project will make sure we can deliver water to hospitals, fire fighters, local businesses, and 360,000 residents on the west side of the river after an earthquake.
• During the month of November, crews will be at sites on both sides of the river, sampling the soil and firming up our understanding of where underground utilities are located.
• Over the next four months, our contractor will fine tune the design so that we can begin construction in summer 2022.
