Contractor:
Master Construction
Timeline:
It is anticipated that construction will begin in the spring of 2024 with all roads reopened in the fall of 2024.
Funding:
Storm sewer upgrades related to flood mitigation improvements will be funded by the Diversion Authority and will not be special assessed.
The remaining portions of the project will be funded by a combination of City Funds (Wastewater Utility Funds, Water Utility Funds, Storm Sewer Utility Funds & Infrastructure Sales Tax) and Special Assessments to the benefiting properties. Special Assessments will be applied per City policy.
Purpose:
The existing water main and sanitary sewer is being replaced to minimize impacts and costs associated with breaks/failures. The street reconstruction is necessary because the existing street section has deteriorated significantly and has exceeded its life expectancy.
The storm sewer upgrades are part of the ongoing flood mitigation work to combine storm sewer outfalls to the river. By combining the outfalls into one centralized location, it results in more efficient pumping of storm water runoff during periods of high water in the river.
