OPERATIONS
1) Update on Sewer Lateral Disconnection at 2357, 2367, and 2369 Pacheco
Boulevard in Martinez
At the January 7, 2021 Board meeting, staff announced that a potential emergency
situation was taking place in Martinez at three properties on Pacheco Boulevard (2357,
2367, and 2369). A shared lateral situation exists in Martinez, beginning at 2357 Pacheco
Boulevard to 2367, and possibly to the next neighbor at 2369 (a duplex). The neighbor at
2357 recently excavated their backyard, which disconnected 2367; thereby, leaving them
without sewer service. The connection at 2367 appears to have been connected to 2357
by running under the garage to a cleanout. The sewer main runs under the sidewalk and
ends at a cap in front of 2357. The Collection System Operations Division has installed a
temporary gravity side sewer, so the disconnected properties are being served. However,
a permanent solution is still being evaluated with the District sewer and private side
sewers.
The Capital Projects Division has reviewed the past documentation for the Pacheco
Boulevard Improvements Project (Pacheco Project), which was completed in the late
1990s, and has estimated a very high likelihood that up to 10 other similar situations may
exist based on the record drawings. The Pacheco Project was a joint project with the City
of Martinez and Central San. It was part of a larger sewer renovation project that did not
identify other potential shared side sewers. At the time of the Pacheco Project, the District
sewer serving the 2357, 2367, and 2369 Pacheco Boulevard properties was not shown
on District maps. Based on complications with the contractor and the difficulty with design
changes, the sewer main relocation was stopped at Bush Avenue and did not continue
further toward the three properties in question. The intent of the Pacheco Project was to
install a new replacement sewer on Pacheco Boulevard and reconnect side sewers to the
new alignment in the middle of the public street and abandon the original sewer that was
under the sidewalks.
Staff is currently evaluating the alternatives for replacing or extending the District's sewer
main that was not addressed in the Pacheco Project.
