About the Project
Project benefits include:
- Reduced risk of leaks and system failures

- Improved system monitoring and maintenance access
- Eliminate service interruptions for repairs and maintenance
The Via Lucero Wastewater Force Main Replacement Project will improve the reliability and long-term performance of the City's wastewater system by replacing aging infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life. This $4.8 million project is funded by monthly sewer service fees paid by City wastewater customers.
The City appreciates the community's patience during construction activities.
