Los Rios Street Improvements, C-9028B

The Los Rios Street Improvements project, identified as C-9028B, is a sewer pipeline replacement initiative managed by the Santa Margarita Water District. Located in San Juan Capistrano, California, the project specifically targets the area of Los Rios Street from Del Obispo Street and approximately 500 feet to the north. The primary objective is to install a new sewer pipeline within the public right-of-way to bypass an existing line located within the OCTA railway right-of-way, thereby eliminating ongoing maintenance and access restrictions. The project is classified under NAICS code 237110 and is exempt from certain environmental reviews under California Public Resources Code section 21080.21, as the pipeline installation is less than one mile in length and situated within a public right-of-way. Key administrative personnel include Chief Engineer Tricia Butler and Project Engineer Mike Marquis. The project was formally certified and approved by the Santa Margarita Water District to address critical infrastructure needs in Orange County.
