Phase: Final design
Overview
The 2026 Stormwater Pipe Repair and Small Drainage Projects are a combination of the City’s ongoing multi-year Stormwater Pipe Repair and Replacement Program and Surface Water Small Drainage Projects Program. These programs proactively ensure public safety, reduce flooding, decrease maintenance demands, and protect critical infrastructure and other public and private property.
Timeline
Design: June 2026 – October 2026
Construction: Spring - Summer 2027
Construction Impacts
Construction activities will include any or all of the following, as needed to complete the work: Pavement removal and repair, storm pipe repair or replacement, installing new surface water drainage including storm drains, biofiltration swales, and storm pipes. Roadways will have temporary traffic control while construction is ongoing.
Tree Impacts
No significant trees will be removed for these projects. We are working proactively to protect any trees in the project areas.
Background
Stormwater Pipe Repair and Replacement Program
The City owns about 140 miles of stormwater pipe. Most of these pipes are over 50 years old and have exceeded their expected lifespan. Older pipes can become damaged over time. Damaged pipes can cause serious problems such as flooding or sinkholes. Damaged pipes are identified by video inspections performed by the Surface Water Utility.
The Stormwater Pipe Repair and Replacement Program (SWPRRP) fixes damaged pipes. We prioritize repairs based on the severity of damage and importance of the pipe. Our preferred repair method is to install a durable liner inside the existing pipe. Pipes too badly damaged to repair are dug up and replaced. We seek to maximize the number of repairs we can do by choosing the lowest-cost reliable methods.
Surface Water Small Drainage Projects Program
This program fixes small public drainage issues that often start as customer service requests or issues we find in the field. For greater efficiency, these projects are batched together. Solutions typically install catch basins, pipes, berms, and other small improvements within the public right-of-way.
Open Cut-Style Pipe Repair. A trench is dug to remove the damaged pipe. The new pipe is installed as a partial replacement. Couplings are used to connect new to existing undamaged pipe as shown.
