Site work and renovation of a civil project in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project provides Phase 2 for a new lift station within the Catfish Creek Interceptor Sewershed near Old Mill Road and 5,100 feet of new force main between the lift station and the Water & Resource Recovery Center (W&RRC). The improvements include a 20 million gallon per day (MGD) lift station, dual force main pipe to the Water & Recourse Recovery Center (W&RRC), and improvements at the W&RRC to accommodate the additional flow at the headworks of the treatment system. The existing Catfish Creek Lift Station (CCLS) will remain in place, primarily serving the Granger Creek sewershed and properties along HWY 151-61. The existing CCLS and W&RRC, were originally constructed in the late 1960's. Since then, the community has grown and expanded. While the W&RRC was updated in 2010, the CCLS was last studied and updated in 1995 based on a 25-year planning period. Based on the actual growth that has occurred since 1995, the wastewater flows to the lift station are slightly higher than what was anticipated. Operating beyond the 25-year planning period, it was time to reevaluate the CCLS. FY22 funding provided for the development of a facility plan to evaluate the existing CCLS and identify the need for potential upgrades. Multiple options were considered, including upgrades to the existing lift station. The engineering analysis ultimately identified a preferred alternative: the Old Mill Road Lift Station and Force Main improvements. Increased construction costs for FY25-26 was included to account for up to date equipment pricing and revised force main alignments required from archeological review. The project is included in the City's 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of June 24, 2026, further details have not yet been identified. *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.
