Site work and new construction of a civil project in Whittier, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project will address current and future commercial, recreational and tourism development at the Head of Passage Canal (HOB) including the new cruise ship terminal and a new small boat harbor. This development could accommodate a large hotel and may include single or multi-family housing units upon completion of a new municipal sewer system. The system would be designed to support demand approximately equal to the existing Core Area of Whittier. The HOB consists of unconsolidated glacial materials similar to Whittier townsite. The topography slopes briskly from mountains to tidewater, minimizing the need for wastewater lift stations. The collection system will be designed to serve the area by gravity and will flow to a central location where it will be treated priorto discharge. The project includes a secondary wastewater treatment facility to be constructed inside a new building for odor control and protection from the environment. An ocean outfall will be constructed to convey treated effluent. The sewer collection system will have 3,000 feet of sewer mains, manholes at approximately 300-foot intervals, and sewer services. Project is included City of Whittier FY 2023 - 2027 Budget CIP. *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.
