Site work for a water / sewer project in Ankeny, Iowa. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

As of August 27, 2024, a general contractor has been awarded and construction is underway. This project is included in the FY 2023 - 2027 CIP. Installation of approximately 850 LF of 15" sanitary sewer along SE 3rd Street, between SE Grant Street and SE Sharon Drive. Additionally, the existing 4" water main within that same corridor will be replaced and upsized to 8" main. The project will utilize open cut construction, and a temporary water supply system will be utilized to keep the existing homes within the area in service. This project is necessary as a many residences within the subject area have experienced historical basement flooding issues. Additionally, data from the June 30, 2018 rain event showed that a significant number of homes within the subject area experienced basement backups, with excess of 24 of water in the basement. With the extensive amount of disturbance needed to complete this project, it becomes more cost effective to upsize/replace the existing water main at this time as well. The proposed project will need to be coordinated with the Public Works proposed SE 3rd Street Area Trunk Storm Sewer Improvements along this corridor. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
