Presentation:
With more of America’s wastewater infrastructure nearing the end of its service life, municipalities can expect an increase in repair and replacement projects. To fund these efforts, municipalities will benefit from a comprehensive understanding of the grant application process and the impact of grant funding stipulations on projects.
This presentation will share how the City of Omaha secured $26.1 million in funding for the Copper Creek Sewer Interceptor Relocation project. The presentation will highlight key lessons on grant applications, agency coordination, and funding for complex wastewater infrastructure projects, as well as design and installation of a siphon system that was installed using trenchless technology under Copper Creek and the installation of approximately 2,700 linear feet of new 96-inch HDPE lined concrete pipe.
