Developer Sahika Corporation will begin a project to install a sanitary sewer pipe under Valencia Boulevard and Tourney Road, from Springfield Court through the intersection of Valencia Boulevard and Tourney Road to the southern portion of Valencia Boulevard starting Wednesday, May 15.

Construction is expected to continue nightly for four weeks, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.

The work will allow one lane open in each direction on both Valencia Boulevard and Tourney Road through the intersection of the two streets until the installation’s completion.

City officials ask commuters to be aware of scheduled lane closures and to plan routes accordingly. Electronic message boards will be posted in each direction to inform motorists of upcoming lane closures.

Residents are also reminded to please reduce their speed through the construction zone for the safety of the public and the contractor’s employees.

All measures will be taken by the developer to complete the project in a safe and timely manner. ­­­

City officials thank residents in advance for their understanding and support of this project.

According to Wikipedia, a sanitary sewer or foul sewer is an underground pipe or tunnel system for transporting sewage from houses and commercial buildings (but not stormwater) to treatment facilities or disposal. Sanitary sewers serving industrial areas also carry industrial wastewater. Sanitary sewers are part of an overall system called a sewage system or sewerage.
