Quality Assurance and Preparation for Ocean Outfall Connection

Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA, February 8, 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.

Recent progress:

• Quality assurance testing is complete and the pipeline is ready for connection.

• The contractor completed the grouting operation, where concrete is pumped into the space around the land outfall pipeline to prevent ground settlement.

• The crew will now focus on excavation at the beach worksite and preparation of the pipeline for the connection to the existing ocean outfall system directly below the work area (see photo below).

• The aging Cardiff sewer line under Manchester Avenue has been replaced, tested, and connected to the Cardiff Pump Station and is now operational.

Ongoing trenching work in Manchester Avenue is expected through February 2018 and will temporarily impact 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.
