Background/Discussion
The South 23rd Street sanitary sewer is a collector sewer receiving flow from the area between 20th Street and 26th Street and from the I-29 south to 6th Avenue. The trunk sewer is old, in poor condition, and needs to be replaced.
The existing street has poor drainage and areas of the pavement and curbs are deteriorated.
Phase I has been let and will be constructed in 2025. Phase I includes S. 23rd Street from 3rd Avenue to 6th Avenue.
Phase II will reconstruct a segment of S. 23rd Street between 3rd Avenue and West Broadway. The exact limits of the Phase II project will be determined during design.
This project was included in the FY26 CIP and includes a budget of $875,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds and $375,000 in sewer funds.
Ehrhart Griffin & Associates will continue as the project engineer. They were previously selected from the pre-qualified list of engineers because of their successful project history and subsequently are providing engineering services for Phase I.
