To resolve capacity problems in the existing Belmont North Interceptor, DPW will begin construction in mid-2009 on the Belmont North Relief Interceptor. The new seven-mile interceptor will extend from 10th Street to 62nd Street near Crooked Creek and the White River. The project will accommodate community growth and future Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP) projects on the city’s north, central and northwest sides.
“This long-anticipated project marks a major investment in the public infrastructure of our city,” Mayor Ballard said. “With this new sewer interceptor, we will improve water quality and quality of life, while reducing our environmental impact through the use of green and sustainable technologies."
