I-94 LIFT STATION FORCEMAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT <br />APRIL 1, 2025 <br />BACKGROUND <br />• Lift station and forcemain were constructed in 1995. <br />• The system serves a large area and conveys significant sewage to the <br />Met Council system. <br />• The forcemain has had 7 breaks since October 2023 resulting in <br />significant problems. <br />• Breaks are costly repairs requiring continuous pumping and trucking of <br />sewage until the pipe can be fixed. <br />• The existing forcemain pipe has shown signs of <br />pipe fatigue – this kind of failure indicates the <br />pipe is past its service life. <br />• Due to the critical nature of the project it was <br />moved forward during the last CIP cycle.
