Update December 23, 2005 on Sewer Overflow at 34th at Wood in West Oakland
Mr. Mayor, Madam City Administrator and Council Member Nadel,
Earlier this week I sent to you an incident report on a particularly troublesome sanitary sewer overflow in West Oakland, and it's potential to impact the operations to the EBMUD waste water treatment facility due to a flooded PG&E vault. I am happy to report that after considerable effort by Public Works
Engineering &
Infrastructure Maintenance staff, along with our on-call contractor, Andes Construction, we have successfully resolved the problem as of late this afternoon. Our crews and the contractor are de-mobilizing the large pumps and removing other equipment from the site currently. Attached is an Incident Report with more details for your reference.
We can all enjoy some peace of mind, and I wish you all a Happy Holiday Season.
