Wildcat Pipeline - El Cerrito

active

Wildcat El Cerrito Map The Wildcat Pipeline Improvement, El Cerrito will install a 36-inch transmission line that will improve operational flexibility and water system reliability in the northern portion of EBMUD’s service area. Transmission pipelines are different from smaller distribution pipes that directly serve your neighborhoods, as they move large amounts of water between facilities such as treatment plants, pumping plants, and storage reservoirs. A total of 13,500 feet of 36-inch pipeline will be installed from the existing Wildcat Aqueduct connection on San Carlos Avenue at Lynn Avenue to Liberty Street at Hill Street in El Cerrito. Workplan schedule: Construction of the Wildcat Pipeline in El Cerrito was preceded by small-diameter pipeline relocations in 2022 and 2023 on the following streets: • Clayton Avenue between Lincoln Avenue and Fairmount Avenue • Central Avenue between Albemarle Street and Ashbury Avenue • Lynn Avenue between Ashbury Avenue and San Carlos Avenue • Richmond Street at Potrero Avenue Potholing to confirm the alignment of the 36-inch Wildcat pipeline took place in August and September 2023. Installation of the 36-inch pipeline will follow, beginning in November 2023 through early 2025. The first work locations will include Colusa Avenue at Marin Avenue in Berkeley, and Lynn Avenue at San Carlos Avenue, Richmond Street at Stockton Avenue, and Hill Street at Liberty Street in El Cerrito. Work hours for the Wildcat Pipeline will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work at night and on weekends is not expected, but if required the community will be notified in advance. Community Outreach: Initial community outreach took place in 2013 when the Draft Environmental Impact Report was published. Another community meeting will be held after the project is awarded and the contractor is on-board, in early 2023.
