It is more cost effective to replace with a new one than to rehabilitate the existing one. The new lift station will be constructed right behind the existing lift station. The existing station will continue to operate during construction. This lift station services 2/3 of the City’s wastewater flows.

Any updates as anticipated go-live date and completion of project?
Wineguyrick asked 7 months agoI'll look to post an update with an approximate schedule later this week. Stay tuned!
In general we anticipate start up and commissioning of the new station in April, then we have to demolish the existing station, do final grading and restore the site and pave the last layer of the street which will take us into May/June.

Megroth asked 10 months agoMeg,
No plans to close the road in the near future. There will be spotty traffic issues as we move cranes or take large deliveries.

Tom Bye asked about 1 year agoTom,
The intersection of 72nd and Cornelia was recently put into service. The 72nd/Claremore/Oaklawn intersection will remain closed into October. I will update with a more specific timeline for this intersection when it is known.

mmcraig asked about 1 year agoWe're looking at opening that intersection to pedestrians when school starts and to cars temporarily around September 20th. It will be close again shortly for a safe-routes-to-school intersection improvement at a later date. Keep following the page for updates on road closures.

Share I live at 7201 Bristol Circle. At least two other homeowners in Bristol Circle have experienced foul odor in their homes that resembles sewer gas. Could this be a result of work being done on Lift Station #6 just two blocks away? Is it safe to remain in our homes? What can be done to mitigate this unpleasant situation?

Bruce Campbell asked about 1 year agoBruce, give me a call to discuss in more detail at 952-903-5713.
Here is my advice:
- Make sure all your floor, shower and sink drains have water in the traps. Sometimes low-flow drains dry up and allow sewer gas to flow back into the home.
- Identify the source of the smell, external sources of smell include the station itself and exterior vent stacks at each home.
