Neighborhood Association Meeting
Big sewer troubles
Have you wondered about those large pipes running down Naito and Corbett, the pumps at several intersections and all the construction activity in the neighborhood? It’s an emergency sewer repair project. A section of a century-old brick sewer collapsed in September. The pumps and pipes are there to pump sewage out above the damaged section and carry it to a manhole below the damaged section until the collapsed pipe is replaced. Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services is designing the repairs. Designs will be done in December and construction will start soon after. Environmental Services will build about 2,400 feet of new sewer pipe to replace the damaged brick sewer. The project could take at least a year. Environmental Services has scheduled a public meeting on Thursday, December 8, 6:30 - 8:30 pm, in the Cedarwood School gymnasium at 3030 SW 2nd Avenue.
Willamette river-bank restoration gathering steam
