This 1980s group of sewer mains is a constant maintenance headache (multiple sinkholes and overflows), as well as the source of many wet-weather overflows. It is actually five miles of three interconnected 40" mains. The work would be done near the intersection of Kingston Road and Williamson Way, as well as northeast towards Fluornoy-Lucas and Bert Kouns.
Learn MoreThese four projects are vital to the continued reliability of our water supply and treatment process. It replaces the 60 year-old raw water intake on Cross Lake and the two main transmission mains that leave the Amiss plant. It also replaces several dozen valves within the Amiss plant that are critical to isolating pumps and equipment for maintenance and rehabilitates the historic Hi/Lo building, which houses pumps and process equipment.
Learn MoreWater pressure and dependability are a major concern in a large area of District D. Constructing an elevated storage tank will help the City maintain adequate water pressure in those areas and will store treated water to meet needs temporarily, if there are problems with upstream mains or at the treatment plant.
Learn MoreA sewer lift station operates in a harsh environment that is detrimental to pumps and piping. Water & Sewer has identified as many as 20 lift stations that need major overhauls. This amount will fund work at 8-9 stations throughout the city.
Learn MoreThis major pumping station near the Querbes Golf Course, and the mains that feed it, are the source of about 20% of the wet-weather overflows in the City's sewer system. The station's proximity to Bayou Pierre and its tributaries greatens these concerns. This project would upgrade the station and its surrounding gravity sewers to handle more flow in wet-weather conditions.
Learn MoreLift stations cannot be without power for very long at the risk of serious operational problems occurring. This project, if fully funded, would install emergency backup generators at three of the five largest lift stations (Cedar Grove, Wallace, and Lucas Outfall).
