Jim Cassley - Principal Construction Inspector

District W-2 is one of three districts in the Wastewater Division and is currently staffed with 16 inspectors. The Inspectors are responsible for administering contracts and providing inspection services for a wide variety of wastewater collection system projects.

The projects inspected by this district generally consist of projects which are within the Collection Systems Settlement Agreement, which will replace aging sewers as part of the legal settlement between the City of Los Angeles and several environmental agencies.

One program within the CSSA is the Secondary Sewer Renewal Program. This program removes/replaces and rehabilitates smaller diameter sewer lines City wide. These projects are needed to correct structural and hydraulic capacity deficiencies in the sewer collection system.

This district also inspects several major sewer rehabilitation and reconstruction projects. Some of the highlighted projects include:

This project will prepare a pre-design report, plans and specifications for the rehabilitation of the Central Outfall sewer ( COS) from the North Outfall Replacement Sewer(NORS) Diversion 4, which is located in parking lot C of the Los Angeles International Airport, to Market Street.
Approximately 13,779 feet of the 60-inch x 73-inch brick COS will be rehabilitated of which approximately 5,800 feet is in the City of Inglewood. Rehabilitation will be based on the condition assessment of the COS.
