Humboldt Sewer Repair Project Update: September 15, 2017

City of Portland Environmental Services continues a project to repair or replace 17,000 feet (more than 3 miles) of public sewer pipes in the Humboldt neighborhood that are on average 85 years old and in deteriorating condition.

This project will protect public health and our environment by reducing the possibility of sewage releases to homes, businesses and streets.
