History

The Oak Canyon Lift Station was constructed in the early 1990s and sits within an island at the end of Oak Canyon Ct. It pumps wastewater from that low point back up to Ridgemark where it ultimately gets treated at the Ridgemark Wastewater Treatment Plant. The lift station was originally intended to be replaced when the property west of it would develop, so infrastructure was installed to allow for that future possibility. Now, the Vista del Calabria development (directly west of Oak Canyon Ct) has installed a new lift station on Enterprise along with the proper infrastructure to redirect Oak Canyon wastewater flow to it. 

Construction

Sunnyslope staff designed the plans and specifications for how Oak Canyon Lift Station would be decommissioned. This went to bid and was awarded to Kraemer Engineering Inc. for about $130,000. A new gravity sewer manhole will intercept wastewater flow prior to the lift station and redirect it down an existing pipeline to the new Enterprise Lift Station. The old Oak Canyon lift station will be converted into a through manhole to connect flow from the homes deeper in the cul-de-sac to the new manhole. Then the entire island will be demolished along with all water, sewer, and electrical services to it. At the project's completion, all impacted areas of the road will be repaved to fully restore the area and eliminate the island in the street.
