The city of Beverly Hills has contracted with Toro Enterprises to begin its Water Main Replacement Project, which will take place in three phases beginning later this month and ending early 2022.
As part of its Capital Improvement Program, the city will be replacing approximately 4.5-miles of aging pipeline on portions of Loma Vista, San Ysidro and Coldwater Canyon drive. Replacing the pipelines is critical to maintaining the city’s water infrastructure, as the pipes connect to six of the nine reservoirs in the city and have contributed to over 25 main line breaks over the years. The pipelines are constructed of cast iron and steel materials and were installed in the city from the 1920s to 1960s.
Phase One will run from Oct. 26, through April 2021, on Loma Vista Drive between Evelyn Place and Doheny Road. Work hours will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sections of each street will intermittently be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction during work hours. All through traffic will be advised to use Coldwater Canyon Drive or an alternate route. Local access will be allowed.
Phase Two is planned to begin in May 2021 on San Ysidro Drove, and Phase Three will take place on Coldwater Canyon Drive beginning in June 2021.
