What We're Doing
The City of Stillwater and Stillwater Utilities Authority is replacing the South Sanitary Sewer Interceptor (SSSI), two creek crossings, rehabilitating the Foxfire Lift Station, and abandoning the Squires Landing Lift Station.
Anticipated Milestones
- Anticipated Date (Design): FY20
- Anticipated Date (Construction): FY22
- Anticipated Date (Completion): FY24
Benefits of the Project
The South Sanitary Sewer Interceptor (SSSI) immediately upstream of the Waste Water Treatment Plant is a combination of 42 inch and 36 inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe. Video inspection of the SSSI shows significant deterioration that contributed to a pipe collapse in 2015. Rehabilitation of the Foxfire Lift Station and abandonment of the Squires Landing Lift Station will improve our system efficiency and reduce operational expenses.
Budget & Funding
- Year Funded: FY2017
- Funding Source: Wastewater Fund
- Project Budget: $400,000 for design
- Expenditures to date: $251,000
