Water Main Pipeline Replacement on Tap for State Street Between Junipero and Valerio Streets Beginning January 6

Beginning January 6th, the City will start replacing a water main on State Street from Valerio Street to Junipero Street and on Valerio Street from Santa Barbara Street to State Street. Work will also take place on the following streets:

• E. Mission Street from State Street to Anacapa Street
• E. Padre Street from State Street to Santa Barbara Street
• E. Los Olivos Street from Anacapa Street to Chapala Street 
• Las Rosas Lane
• Wellington Avenue
• East Pueblo Street from Chapala Street to Anacapa Street
• Junipero Street from Chapala Street to Anacapa Street

These streets will remain open to traffic during construction with driveway access available, but temporary delays and parking restrictions may occur.

Expect construction noise Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. Water service may be interrupted while properties are being connected to the new water main. Construction is anticipated to be complete by summer 2025, pending any potential weather delays.
