AT A GLANCE

The City broke ground at the project site on January 6, 2023. The Parker Pump Station Replacement Project is vital to the City of Coronado's current and future infrastructure and is the largest of 20 pump stations citywide. The City is investing $32 million to replace the existing, aging Parker Pump Station with a new pump station. This critical infrastructure, located at 8th Street and Coronado Avenue, is responsible for collecting stormwater and sanitary sewer flows. The new pump station will improve operational efficiency and resiliency of the system. An additional 6,000 square feet of green space will also be added for the neighborhood to enjoy.

SCHEDULE

Commissioning of the new station is anticipated to occur at the beginning of 2026. Once commissioning is completed, the old station will be partially removed with most of the underground structure to be abandoned in place. Subsequently, construction of the permanent generator enclosure, green space and other site work will take place and is anticipated to take approximately three months once commissioning is completed. Project completion is anticipated by second quarter of 2026.


PROJECT BACKGROUND

Located at Eighth Street at Coronado Avenue, the existing Parker Pump Station was constructed in 1983 and services both storm water and wastewater flows. The new Parker Pump Station will replace the current aging and failing station. The Parker Pump Station is a critical piece of infrastructure responsible for collecting storm water from 150 acres and discharging the flow to the North Beach outfall along with collecting sanitary sewer flows in the Country Club area and routing these flows to the sewer main along Alameda Boulevard.. The replacement project will completely rebuild the Parker Pump Station to provide service for generations and better protect the pump station from impacts from flooding and storm surge.


Rendering of new Parker Pump Station

PROJECT DETAILS

  • Provide a permanent generator onsite to strengthen the reliability of the station during power outages.

  • Isolate the sanitary sewer and storm water underground structures to minimize the risk of comingled flows.

  • Construct all electrical components above ground and housed in a new Controls Building the eliminate the risk of compromising the equipment to flooding should a significant rain event occur.

  • Reconfiguration of the site to provide approximately 6,000 square feet of publicly accessible green space.

  • Relocation of all planned above-ground structures to approximately 75 feet behind the face of curb along Coronado Avenue.

  • Significantly reduce the need for a temporary, above-ground storm water and wastewater bypass system during construction by keeping the existing pump station operational throughout construction of the new station.

    • February 27, 2023 Project Update
    • The materials and deliveries continue to be secured, which is vital to the project, to minimize scheduling and delivery impacts.
    • Sound abatement barriers have been installed along portions of the south and north property lines. Crews are potholing (excavating) the existing 54" and 24" storm drain pipes to confirm the alignment, elevation, and outer diameters, before specific materials are ordered.
    • Beginning on March 1, the intersection at Eighth Street and Coronado Avenue will be closed for an extended period of time for the construction. The closure will ensure safety within the work zone and the surrounding area.
    • The contractor will also install the shoring system in the next few weeks. The work will take place sometime between March 1-22. The installation is expected to take 5-10 days and will be limited to working days (Monday-Friday) between 7 am and 4 pm. Notifications will be sent out soon and the contractor will distribute a door hanger, once the actual installation schedule is known.
    • The contractor will work to complete the project as quickly as possible while minimizing the noise, and other impacts. We appreciate the community's patience as this vital new pump station is constructed.
