The Miner Road sinkhole repair is nearly complete. EBMUD was able to reinstall their high pressure water line within one day to put it back into service supplying water to most of Northeast Orinda. PG&E rewrapped their gas mainline for maintenance coating. The temporary steel beam support has now been removed and the sewer lines and waterline are fully operational.
Bay Cities is installing the high-flow pipes above the box culvert and the entire area above the culvert and between the retaining walls will be completely backfilled under the proposed concrete slab and vehicle barrier that will be formed. The overall project is still on schedule to be completed in early to mid-July, according to the city.
