BACKGROUND
In November 2004, the city annexed the freeway corridor south from Highway 395 to the Oak Hills Summit. As a part of the annexation agreement the city was required to construct the water and sewer infrastructure, which has been completed in phases. Phase One included the installation of the water and sewer mains along Mariposa Rd and Caliente Rd and was completed in 2022. The current phase, Phase Two, included the construction of the I-15 Sewer Lift Station located at the Union Pacific underpass at Caliente Rd which has now been completed.
The completion Phase Two not only supports new development , but also enables existing businesses within the corridor to connect to the sewer infrastructure, transitioning from septic to municipal services
.
