The Clearwater Project was approved after a multi-year evaluation of the main sewer system serving nearly half of Los Angeles County. A new 7-mile tunnel, a key component of the project, is being constructed to protect local waterways by addressing aging infrastructure.
Take an up-close look at how Rachel, our tunnel boring machine (TBM), works. In this short video, we explain how the parts of the TBM work.
A new 5-minute video that provides an overview of the Clearwater Project including what the project is, why it is needed, and how it will be constructed.

Construction Update to Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council
On October 17, council members and residents learned about the progress made in building the new tunnel, with over 1 mile completed to date.
We also shared the construction-related activities that will be occurring at Royal Palms Beach in early 2023.
Potholing will be done around our property at the beach to more accurately determine the footprint of the underground structure that connects the existing tunnels to the ocean outfalls.
This is the initial work for the construction at Royal Palms Beach.
