Site work for a water / sewer project in Plymouth, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The City of Plymouth is working with the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) to improve water quality and drainage within the Ponderosa Woods neighborhood. This project is located north of 18th Avenue North, east of Kirkwood Lane North and west of West Medicine Lake Drive. The proposed project consists of stream erosion improvements, bank slope grading, and minor dredging of accumulated sediment in certain areas. Also included will be vegetation enhancements to improve drainage in the area, reduce erosion in the stream/channels, and improve water quality in Medicine Lake. Maintenance of storm sewer pipes, replacement of damaged outlet structures, erosion and ditch maintenance, sediment removal, and in-stream and riparian habitat improvements are also planned. It is anticipated that some tree removals will be necessary. As of March 22, 2024, this project is currently in the FY 2023-2032 CIP. Per owner, no designer on board right now. Project design will continue through the summer of 2024. Construction is anticipated winter of 2024/2025. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
