DISCUSSION:
The Department of Public Works identified future sewer capacity deficiencies in the Resort Area as a result of future development. Staff is proactively looking to address these sewer capacity needs with the most cost-effective solution and the least impact to the public. This Study will investigate different alternatives to accommodate future development and compile the detailed design data of flow monitoring, utility research, foreseeable flow rates, phasing possibilities, and construction costs while insuring long term performance, reduced maintenance costs, and increased reliability of the sewer system in the Resort Area. This Study will develop the basis of the improvements needed for the final design. The area of interest for this Study is from the northly boundary of Cerritos Avenue, easterly boundary of Anaheim Boulevard, westerly boundary of Euclid Street, and southerly boundary of Orangewood Avenue, and all associated tributary properties.
