The Board of Directors of the Rossmoor/Los Alamitos area Sewer District has recently approved a major Sewer Repair Project that will affect several locations in Rossmoor and Los Alamitos for the total cost of approximately one million dollars. The District manages and maintains the entire sewer system in Rossmoor, Los Alamitos, and the Rossmoor Shopping Center, and parts of Seal Beach and Cypress. The 55 linear mile long system of sewer mains is approximately 65 years old and is starting to show its age.
The Sewer District has a contractor who inspects and cleans the entire system annually. In a recent CCTV video of a portion of the system, the professional engineer who advises the district determined that many of the sections needed replacement, repairs or insertion of a new lining. The project will involve 18 locations, many of which are in the Rossmoor Highlands area on Rossmoor Way, Pine St., Reagan St. and Cherry St. The construction contractor, who has been selected by the Board, will post notices at all locations affected by the construction. The work will commence soon and will last approximately four months.
The current Board of Directors consists of Bill Poe, Joel Rattner, Jim Bell, Van Jew, and Linda Habermehl. Any questions about the project should be directed to the District General Manager, Susan Bell at 562-431-2223.
