The infrastructure upgrade involves upsizing a 1,587-linear-foot section of 10-inch sanitary sewer line to a 14-inch line. To minimize surface disruption within Commonwealth Lake Park—a Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) facility—the contractor will utilize the trenchless pipe-bursting method. The scope of work also includes the replacement of six maintenance holes, which will be fitted with new watertight lids.
The Foothill Drive upgrade is a designated capacity improvement project identified within the utility's West Basin Facilities Plan. CWS has allocated $910,000 for the project in its Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.
During the planning phase, community feedback highlighted the importance of maintaining access to the park's walking trails. CWS and THPRD staff held an open house in April 2026 and have confirmed their intention to keep the trail open to the public during the construction period. The contract was approved without further discussion as part of the board's consent agenda.
