HCTP Cleanout and Clarifier Beach Repairs Project (MI 2646)

The HCTP Cleanout and Clarifier Beach Repairs Project (MI 2646) is a public works initiative by the City of Thousand Oaks, California, aimed at repairing and replacing critical infrastructure at a treatment facility. The scope includes repairing one existing clarifier scum beach unit, replacing a second unit, removing and replacing a failed cleanout pipe and its riser, performing minor excavation, and conducting minor asphalt concrete repairs.
