PROJECT BACKGROUND

The P-18 Trunkline Sewer Project was identified in the 2013 City of Chico Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update, which identified capacity deficiencies in the sanitary sewer system and included plans to incorporate additional infrastructure where needed. This project is an important step toward improving sanitary sewer capacity.

The trunkline will service the majority of the Honey Run/Doe Mill Special Planning Area, South Entler Special Planning Area, and commercial and industrial uses in the area, as identified in the Chico 2030 General Plan.

This project is funded with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Project Funding, American Rescue Plan Act Funding and local funds.
