What work was done?

This project included installing approximately 3,500 feet of 48-inch and 36-inch diameter combined sewer pipe. This larger pipe increased the capacity of the system and volume of flow to the wastewater treatment plant, reducing the potential for combined sewer overflows into the Blue River.

What was the timeline?

Construction began in February 2024 and was completed in December 2024.

Who did the work?

KC Water was assisted by its program manager, Burns & McDonnell; its design professional, Lamp Rynearson; and its construction contractor, Kissick Construction.

What was the contract amount?

The total budget for this project was $3,537,460.

What’s the “Consent Decree”?

In 2010, the City of Kansas City, Missouri entered into a federal Consent Decree with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to reduce the volume of overflows from the City’s sewer system. KC Water’s Smart Sewer program is a 30-year effort to address this challenge. The Hardesty Avenue & 31st Street Relief Sewer project is one of more than 100 projects being implemented by the Smart Sewer program, and was required by the Consent Decree to be completed by December 31, 2024.
