Summer 2023 Collection System Rehabilitation Project

To continue to provide reliable sewer service and protect the environment, work must be done to rehabilitate areas of the sewer system that are in poor condition.

Who will be doing this work?

NapaSan has contracted with Glosage Engineering Inc., Southwest Pipeline & Trenchless Corp., and Easy Flow to perform this sewer rehabilitation work.

What type of work will be done?

The rehabilitation work will fix the lateral, or pipe, that extends from the sewer pipeline in the street to the property line. The diagram below illustrates the public and private sewer lateral locations. In some areas, the sewer lines will be repaired or replaced using cured-in-place pipe lining. Sewer cleanout installations or replacements will be necessary at some properties, and some sewer work in the street will need to be performed. You will receive a door hanger the week prior to any work taking place that will notify you of the type of work to be done at your property.

There will be a brief disruption in your sewer service when this work is being performed, which is anticipated to be a single working day for individual properties. During this time, we ask that you keep water and sewer usage to a minimum.

While cured-in-place pipe lining is being performed, you may smell a plastic or glue-like odor from the lining process. This odor is typical of this type of work. During the lining process, please keep windows closed to keep odors from getting inside buildings. To minimize this odor, pour water down infrequently used drains to maintain a water barrier that will prevent sewer odors from entering your building.
