Site work for a water / sewer project in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project provides for the reconstruction of approximately 1,000 feet (existing alignment) of 6-inch diameter vitrified clay sanitary sewer along Maiden Lane and Cooper Place. The existing 6-inch sewer will be replaced with 8-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer. The existing 6-inch diameter vitrified clay sanitary sewer has been identified as a source of inflow and infiltration. There are multiple offset joints and pipe fractures showing the pipe is in need of rehabilitation or replacement. The sewer is not able to be rehabilitated using trench-less methods due to the challenges associated with reinstating services on small diameter line; and is scheduled for removal and replacement with a larger diameter sewer to improve operation and future maintenance. The sewer is located in Consent Decree Sanitary Sewershed 12. The project completion schedule as approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, shall be no later than December 2026. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the completion date will be delayed a year. This project is included in the city’s fy 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. As of July 16, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
