Street Sewer & Water Improvement Project

Project Location

In preparation for the Benton County repaving project that will begin in the summer of 2025, the City will be replacing the 1952 concrete sewer services and installing a Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) on S. 19th St from Applegate to Lowther Pl. The water main line and services will also be replaced in the same area.

The work between College and Applegate will be done at night with the remainder of the project from Applegate to Lowther Pl during the day. Please use alternate routes if possible as there will be an increase in traffic delays and congestion with lane closures during this time.

The City will also be doing a sewer replacement project on N 17th Street between Main Street and College Street with some work happening on N 18th Street near Main Street. This portion of the project is to abandon 2 failed sewer lines on Main Street between N 16th Street and N 18th Street and relocate them off Main Street. There will be nighttime work on Main Street at this location later in the project. 

Mid-Valley Gravel from Philomath was the low bidder for the project with a bid of $1,574,232.65.
Updates will be provided throughout the course of the project.
