CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The project is located in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, through the cities of Alameda, Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, and Albany, CA. The project will provide planning, design, and construction assistance for the East Bay Municipal Utility District’s East Bayshore Recycled Water Project, part of EBMUD’s comprehensive Integrated Recycled Water Program (IRWP). The first of two project components is the Oakland-Alameda Estuary Pipeline Crossing, which will repurpose 0.5 miles of 24-inch potable water pipeline by slip lining the existing pipeline with a 16-inch recycled water service to deliver approximately 1 .6 million gallons per day (MGD) of recycled water to the City of Alameda. The second component is the Emeryville-Albany Pipeline project, which includes design and construction of 4 miles of recycled water pipeline to connect the cities of Emeryville, Berkeley, and Albany and provide recycled water for irrigation and industrial uses in the public and private sector (such as green space, median irrigation and cooling tower water). This project will increase recycled water use by about 370,000 gallons per day and is part of the ongoing multi-phased East Bayshore project.
The IRWP will expand recycled water use in EBMUD’s service area through multiple interrelated water recycling projects that are intended to increase climate and drought resiliency, drinking water reliability, emergency preparedness, and environmental protections.
