Water Street Lift Station Upgrade

The Water Street Lift Station is one of the most critical elements of wastewater infrastructure for the City and as a result of this project, will see a brand-new lift station occupy the site. The facility, in some form, has been in its current location adjacent to Mill Creek at 1831 Water St for over 100 years and has undergone previous renovations and upgrades. The operation now requires a new station onsite to ultimately increase hydraulic capacity as a result of rapid downtown growth and densification within its catchment area.
