Project Summary
Current Phase: Design
Sponsor Project Manager: Qais Ayubi, Department of Transportation and Environmental Services
Managing Project Manager: Lindsay Burleigh, Project Implementation
Project Description
This project involves the replacement of approximately 92 linear feet of existing 6-inch sanitary sewer and 2 linear feet of existing 8-inch sanitary sewer located on Strand Street between King Street and Wales Alley. The sewer segments were evaluated through CCTV inspection records and determined to be in poor structural condition. Based on the observed defects and pipe condition, full replacement is required to restore structural integrity, maintain reliable sewer service, and extend the useful life of the sanitary sewer system.
After progressing from planning to design in Spring 2026, the City began seeking an engineering consultant to carry the project forward that summer. As coordination continued with the Waterfront Project, it became clear that both schedule and budget would benefit from merging the King & Strand Sanitary project into the broader Waterfront initiative.
Project Funding
Project Budget
Total Budget: $650,000
Planning: $0 (Sewer inspection was completed as part of the Old Town Condition Assessment Project.)

Project Schedule
- Planning: May 2024 - June 2026 (25 months)
- Design: July 2026 - December 2027
- Construction: January 2028 - December 2028
Planning Phase
- Condition Assessment – Inspected two sanitary sewer segments at this area using CCTV camera per NASSCO (National Association of Sewer Service Companies) guidelines to document internal structural and operation and maintenance (O&M) conditions.
- Replacement Recommendation – Reviewed inspection reports and photos and it was determined that the two sewer segments at King/Strand were at a risk of failure and were proposed for replacement.
- Cost Estimate – a planning level cost estimate was performed for design and construction services.
Public outreach for the King and Strand Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project has not yet been scheduled. Please check the webpage at a later date for updates.
