2011 - 2016 Capital Improvement Program
| Project #8028, Blue Lake System Improvements | |
Description: This project will provide improvements to meet the long-term conveyance capacity, reliability, and rehabilitation/replacement needs of the Blue Lake Interceptor System. This system includes gravity sewers, 29 lift stations, and single forcemains from each lift station. Where cost effective, such as in the Victoria area, some lift stations will be replaced by deep gravity sewers using tunnel construction methods. In some cases, small lift stations will be consolidated. The remaining lift stations will be expanded and rehabilitated/replaced as necessary. Single forcemains will be upgraded to dual forcemains. Gravity sewers will be rehabilitated and expanded as necessary. The four major project areas are Victoria, Excelsior, Mound, and Wayzata. The Smithtown Road Interceptor Improvements has been completed. The Victoria Tunneling project is under construction. |
Project Map
|
Evaluation of the Blue Lake Area Interceptor System indicates that the existing facilities cannot convey all of the wastewater that will ultimately be generated from within the Blue Lake sewershed. In addition, many of the sewers, lift stations and associated forcemains need to be rehabilitated to ensure system reliability and to address odor and corrosion control.

May result in the elimination of some pumping stations in the Blue Lake sewershed and consequently may reduce O&M costs.
