Metropolitan Council Environmental Services: Sewer Work Project

Mound Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project
The Mound sanitary sewer pipes connect community lines serving local homes and businesses to the regional wastewater system. A routine pipe inspection showed these pipes are in very poor condition and in need of immediate repair. Replacing them will improve the wastewater system and protect against breaks or leaks that could impact public and environmental health near Lake Minnetonka. It will also ensure ongoing service, provide capacity for future growth and increase reliability.

OPEN HOUSE: MAY 13, 2024: 5 - 7 PM
Mound City Hall
2415 Wilshire Blvd
Mound, MN 55364

CONSTRUCTION LOCATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Work will focus on two main sites:

• The Shoreline Drive and Auditors Road intersection. This section of pipe is sagging due to poor soil. A new pipe will be installed and the surrounding soil will be leveled and strengthened to prevent future issues.
• Shoreline Drive between Chateau Lane and West Arm Road. This entire section of force main will be replaced due to poor pipe conditions.

WHAT TO EXPECT
People who live or work near the project area may experience traffic disruptions, potential odors and noise.
• Lane closures on Shoreline Drive will be in place throughout construction. One lane will remain open in each direction.
• A full road closure and detour will be needed for several weeks during the pipe replacement near Auditors Road.
• A temporary closure and detour of the Dakota Rail Regional Trail may be necessary during portions of construction around the Seton Channel crossing.
• Crews will install temporary conveyance pipes to move wastewater around the construction area. They will be primarily located above ground but will be buried under driveways and road crossings to maintain access. Short-term closures will occur to bury these pipes.
• Additionally, crews may need to excavate around manholes to install equipment for pipe removal and to repair the manholes
