Site work, new construction and addition to a water / sewer project in Ketchikan, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a water / sewer project.

Full replacement of Lift Station #6, located at the Old Dairy Road intersection. The single-chamber lift station has a fiberglass wet well with observable penetrations along its perimeter allowing for exfiltration, and piping proceeding from the lift station to the transmission force main is thin-walled plastic piping running beneath the highway that froze during the winter of 2021. Work will include installing a new concrete vault wet well with traffic rated lid, valve vault, and new pressure sewer running alongside South Tongass Highway to the terminal manhole at Old Homestead Road, to where Lift Station #7 will pump it into the force main. Completion work may include a sidewalk funded jointly by the Old Dairy and Old Homestead service areas to convey pedestrians from the high density housing in Old Dairy to Fawn Mountain Elementary. Lift Station 6 sizing will be predicated on existing development and proposed housing development.
