CIP Status Update

 

March 2025

North of River Sanitary District has been repairing deteriorated sewer pipeline manholes along Seventh Standard Road.

  • The pipeline was constructed in the early 1990s, and the wastewater has caused deterioration of the concrete manhole structures.
  • Rehabilitation includes a combination of fiberglass manhole inserts, cured in place polyurethane liners, epoxy coatings, and corrosion resistant manhole covers.
Two workers in protective suits are inside a large pipe or tank, equipped with a light and ventilation duct.

North of River Sanitary District is currently designing an upgrade and expansion to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.  Growth within the NORSD’s sphere of influence and within the City of Shafter necessitate the need for additional treatment capacity.  Currently projections are that construction will commence in 2026.

 

  • Treatment capacity would increase from 7.5 million gallons average daily flow to 10.
  •  Secondary process will be converted from a trickling filter to a membrane bioreactor.  Allowing for denitrification of the wastewater.
