Renovation of a water / sewer project in Cincinnati, Ohio. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

This project is included in the City of Cincinnati's fiscal yeas 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of November 14, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, funding is allotted to fiscal year 2026. A detailed scope has not yet been released. This project will provide resources for the Mill Creek Raw Sewage Pump Station. It consists of two physically separate pumping stations: The North PS and the South PS. The North PS was constructed in the mid1950s and consists of nine vertical centrifugal pumps rated at 40 MGD each (320 MGD firm capacity). The South PS was constructed in the late 1980s and consists of three vertical centrifugal pumps with two rated at 65 MGD each and one rated at 30 MGD (95 MGD firm capacity). Existing firm plant capacity is 455 MGD. Recent hydraulic modeling has concluded that up to 700 MGD could be conveyed to the MCWWTP. Expanding the treatment capacity of the MCWWTP to 700 MGD will require the existing influent firm pumping capacity to be upgraded. Additionally, the existing pump station wet wells are not divided into sections to facilitate repairs or cleaning and leads to floatable accumulations, grit build-up, and pump clogging. This project will construct a new pump station to be connected to both a new diversion structure being constructed under the bridge schedule and to a future wet weather facility. This is the second step of construction necessary to construct the future wet weather facility. This project is located in the Lower Price Hill neighborhood in the City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
