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

This project provides the necessary maintenance needed to maintain production of the City's three collector wells. Over time, the laterals protruding out from the caisson will develop a crust on the stainless-steel pipe. This crust restricts the water from entering the caisson and creates lower operating levels, which can negatively affect the pumps and motors. This project will allow for timely cleaning of the collector well laterals and minimize the amount of buildup on the pipes in turn providing better yields. The work will consist of pump testing the well before cleaning, cleaning the laterals to improve efficiency and yield, and pump testing the well after cleaning. Anticipated well cleaning is set for 10-12 years. This project will provide for more efficient production of the collector wells. This project is included in the fy 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of May 18, 2023, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
