South Trunk Sanitary Sewer
The City of Edina has initiated the South Trunk Sanitary Sewer Improvements project in your area to renew and enhance infrastructure, ensure long-term service reliability, and better prepare for redevelopment. Over the next few months, the City of Edina will listen to and keep the public informed, acknowledge concerns, and address any impact to the public. We will work to ensure considerations are reflected in the option we develop and provide feedback on how public input influenced the final project design plans.
Planning and design ends in December 2025. Construction is estimated to be phased between 2026 and 2030.

Over the next month, the project team will be reviewing existing site conditions and evaluating potential construction methods for the new sanitary sewer. The alternatives analysis will explore both traditional open-cut construction and trenchless installation techniques for the mainline of the sanitary sewer.
Residents will have the opportunity to learn more about the project status and the alternative options being considered at an in-person open house this summer--stay tuned for more information. The public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the alternatives as well as other questions or concerns they may have related to the project.
