03/30/18 - Outfall Bypass Preparation, Ongoing Manchester Ave Trenching, and Nature Center Trenching

Project Update:

Outfall Bypass Preparation, Ongoing Manchester Ave Trenching, and Nature Center Trenching

Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA, March 30, 2018

Construction work continues on the Land Outfall Replacement Project by the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority and general contractor, J.R. Filanc. Project information can be found at www.sejpa.blogspot.com and www.sejpa.org.

Here are the key updates on our progress:

·       Work at the beach continues as the contractor prepares to install the bypass system, which includes exposing and cleaning the existing pipe 30-feet below the workpad (see picture below). 

·       Excavation is ongoing in the San Elijo Nature Center driveway in preparation for the tie in of the new land outfall pipeline to the existing outfall system. At times, the driveway and parking lot will be closed or reduced to one lane. The pedestrian access will remain open and off-street parking is available on the east side of Manchester Avenue, east of the Nature Center.

·       Construction at the SEJPA water reclamation facility entrance is ongoing, including trenching, installation, and backfill of a new 100-foot section of pipe this week.

·       Ongoing coordination continues with the Lagoon Restoration Project and sand replenishment program west of the beach worksite. More information is available at the Build NCC website by SANDAG & the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy.

Ongoing trenching work in Manchester Avenue is expected through April 2018 and may temporarily impact traffic and access to the San Elijo Nature Center.  Every effort is being made to reduce any inconvenience to the community.



The San Elijo Joint Powers Authority is a local wastewater and recycled water agency serving the communities of Cardiff, Olivenhain, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe. This project will safeguard public health, protect the local environment, and preserve public recreation opportunities along the beaches of Encinitas, Cardiff, and Solana Beach. Thank you for your patience while we work to protect our community and coastline.
