The lower portion of District No. 6 is drained by trunk sewers in Dover Drive and Newport Boulevard which empty into the Pacific Coast Highway Trunk Sewer System, which is jointly owned by District No. 5 and District No. 6. For several years the two districts have been involved in a major rehabilitation program designed to upgrade the dual force main system in Pacific Coast Highway. Currently, the Districts are reconstructing the reach between Rocky Point Pump Station and a crossover located westerly of the Arches (Newport Boulevard). When this project is completed, the Districts will have finished rehabilitation of one of the twin barrels of the joint Districts 5 and 6 Coast Highway Trunk fram the treatment plant in Huntington Beach to the Upper Newport Back Bay, which will greatly increase the reliability of the force main system. The next project will include rehabilitation of the second force main beginning at the crossover westerly of the Arches and extending to the upper Newport Back Bay. It is estimated that this work will cost $2,350,000.00.

The project is being administered by the City and funded by CalTrans. The City has retained Robert Bein, William Frost and Associates to design the project. District's staff has held an informal discussion with the City as to the advisability of including the replacement of the sewer pipe within that reach so that the street improvements will not be disrupted. The City has indicated a willingness to do so, particularly if the s District can stay within their schedule. In addition, the District has contacted CalTrans to see if permits could be issued on a fast track to accamTtodate this work. They, too, indicate they could accommodate the project. The first phase ' of rehabilitation of the second barrel of Pacific Coast Highway Force Main will be incorporated within the limits of the City's contract. The second phase from hp•' . ;f'r' J Newport Boulevard to Upper Newport Back Bay will be done under separate District Ad contract at a later date.
