Project Description:
The project will delay the expansion of the RobindaleWastewater Plant that is nearing treatment capacity. Sewage will be rerouted from the Robindale Wastewater Plant to the South Wastewater Plant that has available treatment capacity. The delay in the expansion will also delay the need for wastewater rate increases to pay for the expansion costs. The project includes the removal and replacement and/or installation of new sanitary sewer force mains along Resaca Blvd. and Jackson Street from Sewer Lift Station No. 27 (located at the corner of Coria and Boca Chica Blvd.) to Sewer Lift Station No. 20 (located near the corner of E. Harrison and 6th Street). The project also includes the rehabilitation and improvements of Sewer Lift Station No. 109 (located along Military Hwy near the intersection of Military Hwy. and Alton Gloor).
