As part of a long-term effort to reduce basement backups and sewer overflows, MSD Project Clear is designing a project to rebuild a pump station and improve wastewater service for customers east of Telegraph Road and south of I-255.
MSD Project Clear is investing approximately $2,500,000 to improve the wastewater service in the St. Louis County. The goal of this project is to rebuild a pump station, which has reached the end of its useful life, and increase the capacity of the wastewater sewer system in this area. This will result in more reliable sewer service and reduce the likelihood of basement backups for customers in this area.
Though construction for this project is not estimated to begin until December 2024 at the earliest, it is important to be prepared for what to expect. While much of the construction will take place in existing easements, MSD may need to obtain new easements from some property owners. Prior to construction, residents whose property will need to be accessed to construct the project will be contacted to obtain the necessary easements or to be notified of work that will take place in existing easements.
Type of Construction:
This project will be constructed by digging through the surface of the ground in a process known as “open-cut” construction. The pictures above depict what a neighborhood will look like before, during and after a typical open-cut project.
Traffic and Access:
As much of construction will take place in the street, residents should expect temporary lane closures on (street names). MSD Project Clear will maintain at least one lane of traffic at all times to allow residents to enter and ext.
Similarly, construction may lead to temporarily limited access to some properties along the construction route. Restrictions will be limited to active construction hours, and the contractor will notify property owners in advance of any access restrictions.
Restoration:
After all new sewer pipes are installed, the contractor will restore the construction site according to all MSD and local requirements. This could include sodding any disturbed areas, replacing disturbed pavement, reinstalling fences, etc.
At least one MSD Inspector will be on-site part of the day for every day the contractor is working.
This is the current tentative project schedule. This is subject to change based on a variety of factors including weather.
