Project Description
The Sepulveda Venice Water Pipeline Connection is an important infrastructure investment to increase reliability of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s (LADWP) water distribution system to the West Los Angeles area. The project will provide an emergency connection to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) water supply by constructing a new trunk line that will be connected to an existing pipeline. The new steel trunk line will be between 20-inches and 54-inches in diameter and extend approximately 1,700 feet under Sepulveda Boulevard and Venice Boulevard within the City of Los Angeles and Culver City.
As part of the project, a new regulator station will be constructed on Bentley Avenue south of Venice Boulevard to control and reduce water pressure coming from the MWD system. In addition, a pressure relief station will be installed on Bentley Avenue, north of Venice Boulevard.
The project was approved for reimbursement from the State of California through the Proposition 50 fund grant program.
Construction Information
To reduce the impacts to the community, the project is divided into 7 work areas. Construction will move from area to area to minimize traffic impacts throughout the duration of the project. Working hours will be Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to no later than 7:00 p.m., and Saturday work may be required. Access to business and residences will be maintained at all times.
Traffic lanes will be restriped on Sepulveda Boulevard and Venice Boulevard to accommodate the work stages. Parking on those streets will be restricted during construction. Temporary, No Parking, Tow-Away signs will be posted as needed.
As a reminder, this is an active construction site. Construction signage is installed for the safety of pedestrians, motorists, and construction crew. Please adhere to all construction signage, including sidewalk closure signs, and use caution when walking or driving through the area.
