ABOUT: The City of Santa Cruz used the funds for the Front-Spruce-Pacific 54-inch Rehabilitation and Headworks Rehabilitation projects for the Santa Cruz Wastewater Treatment Facility.

The projects focused on fixing deteriorating pipes, the rehabilitation of manholes, demolition, sewage flow control, and excavation support and protection. This restored the structural integrity of the city’s eastside sewer interceptor pipeline, preventing further deterioration and failure.
It also upgraded the headworks vault, influent vault, screen room, influent wet well, influent pump station, and replaced two influent pumps with submersible pumps to increase facility resiliency in the event of an extreme weather event or flood. It also upgraded the ventilation system at the facility to improve air quality within the screen room, which will increase worker comfort, health, and safety.
