Rhododendron Drive Sewer Extension - Treewood Court to South Harbor Vista Drive

FLORENCE – On Wednesday, May 20, 2020, the City’s contractor, Pleasant Hill Development Co. LLC, will begin work on a $86,325 sewer extension project along Rhododendron Drive between Treewood Court and South Harbor Vista Drive. This project will provide municipal sewer service to existing homes that have failing septic systems or prefer to have municipal sewer service. Specifically, the project will install 410 lineal feet of 8-inch PVC sewer pipe; one 48-inch sanitary sewer manhole; three sewer laterals; two sewer cleanouts; and 275 square yards of hot mix asphalt trench patch.

During construction of the project, the south bound travel lane of Rhododendron Drive between South Harbor Vista Drive and Treewood Court will need to be closed. Only one lane will be closed. A travel lane will remain open and controlled by flaggers during the duration of the activity. Motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians are advised that the construction and lane closure will begin on Wednesday, May 29th between 7:00 am to 5:00pm and short delays are possible. Temporary lane closures will last until May 29th. An emphasis will be made to provide accessibility to emergency vehicles.

The City has planned the construction in a way to minimize impacts, but due to the nature of this construction project there will be slight inconveniences, particularly to the residents along Rhododendron Drive. The City and the contractor will expedite the construction through the area so that disruption to residents and visitors alike will be limited.

Florence Public Works would like to extend our thanks to the public in advance for their patience as we begin this very important project that will bring improved sanitary sewer service to the community. We are working hard to minimize inconveniences.

Residents are encouraged to call the City of Florence Public Works office with any concerns and questions at (541) 997-4106.
