 INVITATION
COMMUNITY MEETING

 

Attention Businesses and Residents:

 Pima County has contracted with Psomas Inc. to manage a sewer project in your area and that will be performed by KE&G Construction Company to perform the work under contract with the County.

 This project will include the installation of new sewer lines and manholes, the removal of existing sewer lines and underground bursting of other abandoned sewer lines (pipe bursting is the underground destruction of existing sewer lines without the need for continuous excavation).  These activities are necessary in preparation for the abandonment of the Capstan Pump Lift Station and the corresponding sewer pressure main which has been in operation since the 1980s.

 This project will impact access to some properties and streets, and in a very few cases, will require that work be performed inside residential yards and in locations where private brick/concrete walls exist.  Those property owners who will be impacted to this degree will be contacted individually.  

 Over the course of the project, there will be a significant presence of large construction vehicles, equipment and machinery.  Water trucks will be used to minimize dust.  All work will take place north of Hawser Road from North Twin Lakes Drive and proceeding along North Starboard Drive to the existing Capstan Pump Lift Station.

 Construction conditions you can expect include:

  • Construction-related noise and dust.
  • Construction activity between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday unless you are otherwise notified.

 No interruption of water or sewer service is anticipated.

 You are invited to a public meeting where details of this project will be presented.  Contractors and Pima County staff will be on hand to discuss the project, answer any questions and respond to concerns.  The meeting will be held at:

 Coronado K-8 School
Multi-Purpose Room
3401 East Wilds Road
