Emergency Generator Replacement (CIP 455-705)

The District has an ongoing program to maintain and upgrade the wastewater system to improve operation and reliability. As part of the program, the District has identified emergency generators and automatic transfer switches (ATSs) at ten of the District’s wastewater lift stations that are reaching the end of their service lives and in need of replacement.

The design contract for this project was awarded on August 16, 2022.

Procurement of equipment for three priority Lift Stations 22, 29 and 59 was awarded August 19, 2024, while the procurement of equipment for the remaining seven Lift Stations (10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 26, 41) was awarded on January 20, 2026.

Construction for the three priority Lift Station 22, 29, 59 is anticipated in Summer 2026 while design for the remaining seven Lift Stations 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 26, 41 will begin in Spring 2026. 

As part of the project, the District has decided to remove a decommissioned underground storage tank located at 909 E Hillsdale Blvd (in the Bank of America parking lot). The removal of the tank is scheduled to begin in April 2026.
