District 5
Capital Program & Projects
District 5 includes, in Hennepin County, the cities of Bloomington and Richfield; portions of the City of Edina, including the southern half of the city between I-494 and Minnesota Highway 62, and the northeastern quadrant of the city (just west of Minnesota Highway 100); and southwest corner of the city of Minneapolis: west of Lyndale Avenue, south of 42nd Street (east of Lake Harriet), south of Lake Harriet, and neighborhoods on the west side of Lake Harriet and south of 39th Street West. The district also includes the unorganized territory around Fort Snelling.
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 provides funding to upgrade Environmental Services' ability to measure flows for billing, operational, and planning purposes and standardize meter equipment at similar facilities. Meter improvements include meter rehabilitation or replacement, planning meter installation, and new meter installation.
This program provides funding to complete planning activities and near-term capital improvements (not otherwise included in a separate program) at 8 regional Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF).
This program includes miscellaneous projects to rehabilitate failing facilities, address inflow and infiltration (I/I) sources, and address general needs of the interceptor system not programmed into a region- or facility-specific program. This program also includes additional condition assessment work to complement the internal inspections work completed by Operations, odor control improvements, city coordination for street improvement projects, and office space planning and design to accommodate all staff assigned to the Regional Maintenance Facility.
This program provides funding for planning activities needed to support the Council’s overall wastewater reuse initiative.
This program includes facility planning and new projects to address aging infrastructure within or contributing to the City of Minneapolis. Potential projects include Interceptor 1-MN-303 Pipe-in-Pipe Rehabilitation and Interceptor 1-MN-320 Improvements.
In addition to the major projects, there will be interceptor rehabilitation, lift stations, and meter improvement projects located in the district.
