Clay Sewer Pipe Replacement

This project involves replacing old clay sewer pipe as indicated in the attached map. These pipes include some of the original sewer systems in Milwaukie and are up to 90 years old.

The Clay Sewer Pipe Replacement Program ensures old clay piping is replaced with modern materials. The old pipe is brittle with many breaks, failed joints, and an increasing potential for back-ups as roots clog the pipes. This allows groundwater to enter pipes, overloading the treatment plant during heavy rain.

Pipe replacement in SE 29th Ave will not be completed with this project but will be scheduled at a later date.
