Project Overview

Overview

The 2024-2026 Forcemain Improvements Project includes sewer improvements to four areas within the wastewater system.  The Garlock Slough, Green Acres, Nodlands, and Orleans forcemains are beyond their useful life, have deteriorated and need to be replaced.  These projects are being done to address the needs of the aging infrastructure while managing future anticipated flows within the system.  Generally, the work will be completed using trenchless drilling methods which will minimize surface impacts and road disruptions.  The general timelines are shown below weather permitting and subject to adjustments.

The recommended improvements for each of the four project areas are as follows:

  • Orleans
  • Garlock Slough
  • Green Acres
  • Nodlands
