Renovation of a water / sewer project in Dubuque, Iowa. Design plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

This project replaces the current bar screens (motorized fine screens) with updated higher capacity units. Existing bar screens have experienced heavy wear over the past ten years and are approaching the end of their useful life. Replacement screens will be sized and specified to accommodate increased flows and the ability to remove greater amounts of inorganic material. This project will improve removal of inorganic materials, e.g. rags and plastics, which often plug pumps and pipes downstream, hindering treatment efficiency. Project cost estimated at $1,500,000 (2023 dollars) This project is included in the city's fy 2025 Capital Improvement Program. As of July 1, 2025, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been released. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
