EBMUD is installing more than three miles of large-diameter transmission pipeline from the Lafayette Water Treatment Plant on Mt. Diablo Blvd. to the intersection of Moraga Road and Draeger Drive in Moraga. 

Construction Progress Report (last updated October 1, 2008)

The final phase of the Moraga Road Pipeline Project, on Moraga Road from Donald Drive to Draeger Drive, is now underway.  Beginning October 1, traffic controls will be set up, pipe will be delivered, and crews will be grinding pavement, stringing pipe, trenching, installing and welding pipe, backfilling, and paving in this area for the next several months. 

Work in the Lafayette Reservoir Recreation Area is expected to be completed by mid-October.  Crews there are continuing to backfill and compact installed pipe, and to perform finish grading, hydroseeding and other erosion control measures.
