I-80 North Utility Extensions

Overview

Project extended utilities/infrastructure around major highway

​

Scope

​• ~8,400’ of 20”-27” diameter sanitary sewer
• ~5,900’ of 12”-16” diameter water main
• Lift station abandonment
• Utility service extension to Village park, including
• Installation of grinder pump station
• ~400 of 6” sanitary sewer / ~780’ of 1.25” force main
• ~1,100 of 8” water main / ~560’ of 1.5”-2” HDPE water service
• ~830’ of augers ranging in size from 20”-48” diameter crossing
I-80 and Ridge Road
• Rock excavation
• Locally funded via impact fees; costs spread over service area, improving
opportunity for development, developers sharing cost/workload
• Provides a secondary (redundant) loop for 16” water main from one of the Village’s primary deep wells and treatment facilities north of I-80.

Results

• Water mains & sanitary sewer extensions enables development for more than 2,000 acres with the Village’s FPA north of I-80, previously limited due to absence of or insufficient utility service.• Abandonment of aging lift station
• Addressed ongoing developer concerns with design requiring I-80 crossing within bedrock, as well as utility installation at rock/soil interface.
