2011 - 2016 Capital Improvement Program

Project #8041, Hopkins System Improvements  

Description:

This project will replace the existing forcemain and lift station to provide long term, reliable service to the City of Hopkins and St. Louis Park. L-27 was built in 1970 and is need of replacement due to its age, construction and condition. L-27 is a manufactured dry well, built in place wet well station that has had a building enclosure built to protect the station and its equipment. This project will replace the existing lift station with a new lift station on the existing site. The project also includes the construction of a dual forcemain system (two new pipes and one new pipe plus the rehabilitation of the existing forcemain) from the new lift station through the cities of Hopkins, St. Louis Park, and Minneapolis.
