EBMUD to start emergency sewer repairs on Buena Vista Avenue in October
Virtual public meeting Thursday, September 22

In October, the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) will start the work to repair their sewer along segments of Buena Vista Avenue. Construction will extend to February 2023. This major project is being undertaken as an emergency to address possible pipeline failure and the potential for sinkholes.

During this project, parts of Buena Vista Avenue will be closed in the west bound direction 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Trucks will be diverted from Buena Vista Avenue to Lincoln Avenue between Grand Street and Constitution Way, and street parking will be restricted. EBMUD will work to control odor; however, there may be intermittent impacts.

To provide more information about the project and answer questions, EBMUD is hosting a virtual emergency community meeting next Thursday, September 22, at 6pm.
