The Sailor Bar Pump
Station is located off the Sailor Bar Park Olive Avenue
access in Fair Oaks and is in need of rehabilitation. As one of
106 pump stations that SacSewer owns and operates, the aging
facility is in need of repairs and updates. This project includes
raising the finished elevation 5 feet above the 100-year
floodplain, installing two wet wells, valve vaults, and a new
facilities building. This new infrastructure will provide
operation redundancy and reliability, increase the functional
efficiency of the pump station, and reduce the risk of an
overflow. Upon completion, the updated pump station will allow
SacSewer to continue to provide reliable sewer service to the
community for decades to come.

UPDATES, which will be posted as work progresses.
Schedule
Most work will occur on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
However, when temperatures are expected to exceed 95 degrees,
work hours will be adjusted to 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. to ensure
the safety of onsite staff and prevent heat-related
illnesses. Project construction is anticipated to be
complete by late September of 2022.
What to Expect During Construction
Project work is not anticipated to interrupt sewer service during
construction. Residents will be able to continue to use water and
flush toilets, as usual. Street access to residents’ homes will
also be maintained at all times. Crews will do their best to
minimize typical construction-related impacts such as dust,
noise, vibration, and odor. When project staff and contractors
access the site, residents may see vehicles or trucks coming and
going.
The staging area for the construction equipment will be in the
parking lot adjacent to the pump station. Most equipment will be
entering through the Sailor Bar Illinois Avenue entrance and
along the road closest to the bluffs.
Keeping Residents Informed
SacSewer is committed to ensuring residents are kept fully
informed during construction. We will communicate through a
variety of methods, including in person and via doorhanger
notifications, mailers, and project website updates.
Safety First
Public safety is our top priority during construction. While most
construction activities will occur at the project site, please
use caution near the work area and on local streets, as
construction equipment will be utilizing neighborhood roads to
access the project site. Temporary traffic controls may be
necessary during equipment delivery or when construction vehicles
are accessing the site.
