The Lake County Sanitation District and Preston Pipeline Inc. are constructing a new lift station and force main as part of improvements to the Southeast Regional Wastewater Collection System.
From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, and Tuesday, Nov. 15, Preston Pipeline will set up a traffic closure to install a force main sewer line across Old Highway 53.
The affected roadway area will include a portion of Old Highway 53 west of Highway 53. Specifically, the closure will extend from Cache Creek Way to Old Highway 53, the county and contractor reported.
Officials said the general public will be detoured north to Lakeshore Drive. The only through access will be granted to emergency response vehicles.
County officials said the project is meant to improve the Southeast Regional collection system’s capacity and reduce sewer spills, which have been an ongoing problem for the system, especially during heavy rain.
