Keep It Current

Overview

The purpose of the 145^th and Grover Sanitary Sewer Relocation project is to permanently relocate a sanitary sewer pipe that has been temporarily repaired and stabilized. The temporary repair is located in the creek bank just north of Grover Street and west of 145^th Street. During heavy storm water runoff in March 2019, the creek bank eroded, which exposed and damaged a section of the sanitary sewer pipe. While evaluating the repairs to the sewer pipe, it was determined that re-routing the sewer outside of the creek bank channel would be the most reliable long-term solution due to steep creek bank slopes, limited access through private property, and a limited easement area.
The first phase of the project is the study phase, where alternatives for relocating the sanitary sewer main will be evaluated.

The following parameters will be reviewed:

• Constructability of the sanitary sewer to include open cut and boring methods
• Impacts to local traffic routing
• Locations of existing utilities and their impacts to constructability
• Analyze current and future flows for the area this sanitary sewer serves to determine capacity and size of sanitary sewer
• Acquisitions of right-of-way and easements
• Public-private partnerships with surrounding landowners to develop a plan to reduce interruptions to services
• Televise existing sanitary sewer pipe and inspect manholes to determine current conditions.
• Work with Private landowners to locate existing sewer service and develop and plan to reroute service as necessary.
• Overall construction costs of each alternative

These measures will be evaluated to provide a reliable sanitary sewer alignment with the most effective
long-term solution.
