Woodbridge pipeline replacement project

Woodbridge has the proud distinction of being one of the first communities in the nation to use recycled water for landscape irrigation. Now, nearly 40 years later, some of the pipeline installed in the 1970s and early 1980s has reached the end of its useful life and will have to be replaced.

To prepare the community for the next 50 years, Irvine Ranch Water District will be replacing 9 miles of new recycled water pipeline within the community.

Work began in June 2022 and will continue into February 2024. Construction near school campuses will occur during the summer and seasonal breaks, and access to all Woodbridge Village Association facilities will be maintained.

Slurry sealing of all roadwork construction areas will be done once all work is completed, except for Alton Parkway, where the City of Irvine is planning a repaving project later in the year.

Construction hours will be limited to Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for arterial streets, and from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for non-arterial streets. Click on the project updates bar below for construction details.
