Project Description
This project will replace the OC San Seal Beach Pump Station located at the corner of Seal Beach Blvd. and Westminster Ave. in the City of Seal Beach. The new station will be upgraded to new local, state, and national codes as well as have enhanced security measures. The new facility will also have an added odor control system installed.
Project Background
The Seal Beach Pump Station was originally constructed in 1972. The pumping systems are aging, regularly clog, lack corrosion protection, and have control systems that are rapidly becoming obsolete, all requiring additional attention from maintenance staff.
Additional Information
The bus stop located in front of the pump station on Seal Beach Blvd. at Westminster Ave. has been removed (see picture below) for the duration of the project. Please visit OCTA for alternative routes.
