Project Overview
The sewer in Emery Street between 600 South and 700 South is 103 years old and in need of repair. The section in Emery Street between Indiana Avenue and 700 South is 35 years old but is too small to serve the community’s needs.
Construction is scheduled to begin August 12. Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU) is planning to repair a section of sewer pipeline in Emery Street between 600 South and 700 South and replace the sewer pipeline from 700 South to Indiana Avenue with a new larger pipe.
Timeline
- Construction began Wednesday, August 12 and is anticipated to finish by the end of October.
- On Wednesday, August 12, crews began working on the section of Emery Street between 600 South and 700 south. This work will install a liner within the existing sewer pipe. This work will go through approximately Friday, August 14. Emery Street will be closed to through traffic during this work.
- Beginning Tuesday, August 18, work will begin with replacing the sewer line from Indiana Avenue to 700 South. This work requires trenching in the road and Emery Street will be closed to through traffic. This work will go through mid-October.
- The project will install a bypass sewer system during the work to keep the sewer flowing. This system requires a generator to operate the pumping system, and it will be active 24/7.
