Body

The City of Santa Barbara has contracted Empire Pipe Cleaning and Equipment to perform sewer main cleaning on City streets and on properties that have sewer easements starting Monday, May 4 through the end of May. Work will be completed Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Cleaning the sewer mains removes debris and root growth, ensuring wastewater flowing freely to the El Estero Water Resource Center to be treated. This contract provides additional staffing and equipment to support City staff who usually perform these cleaning tasks. If needed, Empire Pipe Cleaning and Equipment staff will briefly access properties to clean the sewer main. If necessary, the contractor will notify the homeowner regarding the work to be completed. Please view the maps of where work will take place.

San Roque Area - Below Foothill Road to Grove Lane & Foxen Drive and surrounding streets

Riviera Area - Garden Street area over to Loma Street between upper and lower East
