Description
Orange County Sanitation District
The State College Sewer Construction project is one OCSD’s many collection system projects. It is replacing four miles of sewer along State College Boulevard from the SR-91 to Orangewood Avenue in the City of Anaheim.
Construction began in late summer 2018 and is scheduled to be completed in late 2020. Once the project is complete, eight million gallons of wastewater will be diverted to OCSD’s Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley for treatment before being sent to the Groundwater Replenishment System.
The Community Outreach Program for this project began two years prior to construction to properly identify and address any foreseeable issue. The extensive research and planning have allowed the team to establish a communication system with the public that has rendered favorable results. The program has served as a model for other OCSD projects to use.
