Happy Valley Pipeline Construction
East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) began construction on the Happy Valley Pipeline Project May 30. It includes installation of a new pipeline to supplement and ensure greater reliability of fire flow capacity and meet future demands of the water system in the areas of Orinda and Lafayette served by the Happy Valley Reservoir.
Miner Road construction continues through the fall with most road closures during the school summer session.
Miner Road, between Lombardy Lane and Tiger Tail Court, will be closed to through traffic. A detour is in place.
Access through the closure zone by emergency vehicles, residents who need to access their homes, weekly trash pick-up and daily mail delivery, will be accommodated by EBMUD’s contractor. Residents are requested to minimize deliveries and service requests which require traffic through this area.
