Storm Drainage System Upgrades

Multiple streets in the City of Pendleton have inadequate drainage systems. Two areas have been marked for new pipe and/or catch basin installation in the 2024 construction season:

• NW 7th Street from NW Furnish Ave to  the Umatilla River: 1800 feet of PVC pipe will be installed. This will require trenching from the river to NW Furnish Ave as well as trenching across NW 7th Street.  This project marks phase 1 of 3.
• NW 12th St from NW Horn Ave to NW Johns Ave: This area has not been served by storm drainage, and this project will add about 650’ of PVC pipe along with numerous catch basins. Trenching will be required to complete the work. This project marks phase 3 of 5.

Water Main Installation

Two of the 2024 Construction Season projects involve adding new water main lines to upgrade aging infrastructure.

•  South Main Street’s 200 and 300 blocks have aging cast iron mains that need to be updated. This work will take place form SW Court Ave to SW Emigrant Ave and will be done in 2 stages.
• The old 6” cast iron water pipe on NW Despain Ave is being replaced ahead of the reconstruction of that street. This project will install new 8” water pipe under about 1500 feet of NW Despain Ave from North Main Street to NW 8th Street

NW Despain Ave Reconstruction

This job will rebuild NW Despain Ave from North Main Street to NW 7th Street. The reconstruction will include new asphalt, curbs, ADA ramps, drainage improvements, and a new water main. More details are available on the Pendleton Projects website.

Slurry Sealing Project

The project consists of placing a thin wear surface on the existing asphalt to prolong the usable life. This project will cover 22 locations throughout town. More details are available on the Pendleton Projects website.
