District 7
Capital Program & Projects
District 7 includes portions of the City of Minneapolis north of I-394 (excluding the eastern Bryn Mawr neighborhood), east and north of I-94, except portions north of Franklin Avenue in south Minneapolis.
Capacity and condition assessments are being conducted along with regulatory reviews to identify system-wide lift station upgrades. These upgrades extend the life of facilities, reduce the risk of spills, and improve the safety of staff who operate and maintain lift stations.

This program also includes additional condition assessment work to complement the internal inspections work completed by operations. Office space planning and design to accommodate all the staff assigned to the Regional Maintenance Facility, and property transfer between Council and municipalities for public benefit.
