Santa Paula’s Park and Orchard Street Project Enters Final Roadwork Phase in Fall 2026

SANTA PAULA — November 2, 2026. Santa Paula Public Works’ active-project page describes a combined water, sewer and pavement reconstruction project around Park and Orchard streets, with the city expecting its final improvements during November.

Work undertaken in stages

The city’s project timeline places sewer improvements in July–August, water work in August–September and concrete and paving work in October. Its latest project note describes street grinding, temporary no-parking areas and work near State Route 150 and Virginia Terrace.

What residents should watch

The city says crews will post signs and door notices ahead of certain water interruptions and that access arrangements can change while equipment operates. Drivers should not treat a prior October closure as a current November shutdown: on-the-ground signs and updated city notices take precedence.

Who is responsible for questions

Santa Paula lists its Public Works main number as 805-933-4212 and provides the project manager’s contact through the active-project page. Homeowners should ask about expected restoration and any unresolved driveway or sidewalk issues.
