Intended Use Plan 2027, Second Edition

This project is part of the City of Bend's Septic to Sewer Conversion program. Project includes design and construction of approximately 1,920 linear feet of pressure sewer main and service laterals, tying into the existing sewer main. The project will allow 22+ properties to decommission septic systems and connect to public sewer supporting water quality protection and helping to eliminate potential public health hazards associated with failing septic systems. Emerging contaminants: Decommissioning septic systems that may contribute PFAS, and other pollutants reduces the risk for discrete conveyance and contamination of groundwater sources and allow for the potential opportunity to centrally collect and treat at a publicly operated treatment facility. Connecting septic systems to centralized sewer systems is progress towards mitigating impacts of emerging contaminants.
