Great Hills Lift Station Improvements Project
Project Overview
The Great Hills Lift Station, located at 9009-1/2 Spicebush Drive, has outlived its expected useful life. The station is in an environmentally sensitive area, making rehabilitation a priority for maintaining reliable wastewater service.
Lift stations pump wastewater in areas where it cannot flow by gravity. Through this project, Austin Water will rehabilitate one of the existing wet wells, construct an additional wet well, install a new valve vault and upgrade mechanical and electrical equipment. Rehabilitating this lift station was identified as a high priority in the Winter Storm Uri After Action Report.
Construction will be contained within City of Austin property and easements. Neighbors will notice additional traffic and some noise during construction activities.
Timeline
Construction is expected to begin in fall 2024 and take approximately 30 months to complete.
