Environmental Services is continuing to design a project that will upsize 100 feet of 115-year-old public sewer pipe on SE 48th Avenue. This improvement will increase sewer capacity, reduce backups, and help prevent street flooding.
Project Area
This project is located on SE 48th Avenue between SE Hawthorne Blvd and SE Harrison Street. The pipe replacement is proposed specifically between maintenance holes on SE 48th Avenue between addresses 1749/1742 and 1817/1818.

General Schedule
This project is tentatively scheduled to begin construction either late summer or early fall 2026.
Design Changes
After hearing community concerns and completing additional engineering analysis, Environmental Services is now proposing to upsize about 100 feet of sewer mainline from 8 inches to 15 inches and remove the previously proposed green street planters from this street.
The larger sewer pipe will better manage flows in this area and improve long-term system performance. With this change in place, the green street planters originally proposed for stormwater management are no longer needed.
