Project overview

In 2024, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (ES), operator of the metro-area wastewater collection and treatment system, rehabilitated aging and deteriorating sanitary sewer pipes (called interceptors) in the cities of Mound and Spring Park.

Construction began in June 2024 and was largely completed in 2024.  Pipe lining, site cleanup, and restoration was completed in spring 2025.

Thank you for your patience during construction.  The Met Council is committed to supporting clean water and a healthy environment, and maintaining regional sewers is an important part of doing so.

Replacing the old pipes, which were in very poor condition and in need of immediate repair, improved the wastewater system and will protect against breaks or leaks that could impact public and environmental health near Lake Minnetonka.  These improvements also provide capacity for future growth and increase reliability.

Construction locations and activities


Project area map marked with two project sites along Shoreline Drive: one at the intersection of Auditors Road and one between Chateau Lane and West Arm Road. Construction work focused on two main sites:
  • Shoreline Drive and Auditors Road intersection: The old pipe in this area was sagging due to poor soil. A new pipe was installed in 2024 and the surrounding soil was leveled and strengthened to prevent future issues.
  • Shoreline Drive between Chateau Lane and West Arm Road: The entire section of force main in this area was replaced in 2024.  Pipe lining and site restoration will occur in spring 2025.
