[ARCHIVED] Keeping Sewer Pipelines Flowing

Our Sewer Collections team operates and maintains over 125 miles of sewer pipelines, 80 miles of storm sewer lines, 14 storm sewer pump stations and 14 sewer lift stations to ensure wastewater arrives to the Treatment Plant without problems. Many of Watsonville's sewer pipes were constructed over 80 years ago and did not account for additional flow create by recent development. To prevent sewer overflows and keep our system flowing, we've been repairing and replacing deteriorated lines, lift stations, and manholes.
