Keep It Current

Overview

Through periodic inspections, the City of Omaha has discovered significant sewer repairs needed on a public sanitary sewer that runs through the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium. There is a 12in vitrified clay pipe by the Cheetah house and lagoon that has two pipes with significant breaks. The sanitary sewer will be rerouted because train tracks and lagoon would be greatly compromised. The damaged 12-inch sewer will be plugged and filled with flowable fill. This project will be in two phases with the first phase to start in September 2025.

Schedule

• Phase-1- will start the project in September 2025 with the new 12-inch VCP sewer from existing MH-S01 to new MH-S02, bore new 12-inch VCP with steel casing from MH-S02 to new MH-S03, install new 6-inch VCP sewer from MH-S03 to existing MH-S05 then plug existing damaged 6-inch sewer out of existing MH-S05 then fill with flowable fill.
• Phase-2- will start in (TBD) with boring the new 12-inch VCP sewer with steel casing from the new MH-S03 to the existing MH-S04, then plug existing damaged 12-inch sewer from MH-S04 to MH-S01 then fill with flowable fill. 

What to Expect

Main pathway north of Owen Sea Lion Pavilion towards the Cheetah compound and the main pathway crossing the Lagoon from Mammoth Plaza to the Cheetah compound will be either rerouted or partially fenced off temporary during the construction. Construction paths could change or be redirected at any time due to construction issues that may arise.
