Humboldt Lift Station Replacement
CC-1634
August 1, 2023
BACKGROUND AND PROJECT SCOPE
The Public Works Department’s Engineering and Utilities Divisions are proposing to replace the existing Humboldt Sewer Lift Station due to age and insufficient wet well capacity.
It is located on Humboldt Island at the southeast corner of Humboldt Drive and Wayfarer Lane. Constructed in 1967, the sewer lift station has reached its useful life and the existing concrete structure is failing.
The new lift station will predominately be underground
with only the electrical and control cabinets above ground.
