The Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD) has begun work on the Mission Trunk Sewer Project to return a critical stretch of sewer pipe to optimal operating performance, thereby ensuring continued reliable sewer service for the community.

The Mission Trunk sewer generally follows the Mission Avenue corridor, beginning upstream near American River College and ending downstream near the American River.

The project will be done in three phases (see Overview Map), with completion anticipated by the end of 2020. As of mid-April, work began on Phase 1, at the southern end of the Mission Trunk. Most work will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., although night or weekend work may be necessary at times to complete critical tasks. 

During the work, SASD will maintain uninterrupted sewer service and do everything possible to minimize construction impacts, including traffic slowdowns, parking restrictions, and lane or road closures. 

During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, please be assured construction crews will take all necessary precautions to keep themselves and the community safe. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to complete this essential project for the Sacramento region.
