Wabash - Washington Sewer Separation Project

The second phase of this extensive sewer separation project has been substantially completed. The entire project involved complete reconstruction/rehabilitation of storm and sanitary sewers along Wabash and Washington Streets in Michigan City, as well as sewer rehabilitation work on surrounding streets.  The project also endowed all affected roadways and sidewalks within the project area with surface replacement and various enhancements, such as ADA plates and a pervious concrete which offers aesthetically pleasing methods of storm water infiltration.

The anticipated final cost for the entire project is approximately $8 million.  The vast improvements to the municipal infrastructure and all of the associated roadway and surface enhancements provide a new “streetscape” that is beneficial to both residents and visitors of Michigan City.

City of LaPorte Long Term Control Plan- Wastewater Treatment Plant and CSO Lagoon Improvements

On behalf of the City of LaPorte Board of Public Works and Safety, Haas & Associates designed Long Term Control Plan improvements for the City’s wastewater system that included improvements to the wastewater treatment plant and their CSO lagoon, as well as the installation of four distinct equipment systems directly purchased by the City with the assistance of Haas & Associates.  The project work will take more than one year to complete and the projected cost of these improvements, including both the equipment purchase and construction contracts, will exceed $4 million. 

Purdue University North Central Wastewater Utility Connection

This sanitary sewer extension project was designed for the South Coast Conservancy District and, when finished, will benefit the PNC campus and create an opportunity for future expansion to the area's sanitary sewer system. The project involves the extension of an existing sanitary sewer, with (approx.) 1625 ft. of 15” sewer. The project also provides a 12” sanitary sewer stub for the extension of the wastewater system to serve neighboring T.P. Orthodontics, under a forthcoming, separate project.

Wabash-Washington Sewer Separation Project

This extensive sewer separation project is in its second phase of construction with an anticipated completion date occurring in Fall of 2007. The entire project involves a complete reconstruction/rehabilitation of storm and sanitary sewers along Wabash and Washington Streets in Michigan City as well as sewer rehabilitation work on surrounding streets.  The project also necessitates the reconstruction of all affected roadways within the project area.
The expected cost for the entire project is approximately $8 million.  The project provides vast improvements to the municipal infrastructure and with all of the associated roadway and surface enhancements, residents and visitors alike will benefit greatly from the new “street-scape”.

US 20/35 and Indian Springs Wastewater Systems Project

This project rerouted the Indian Springs Subdivision wastewater flow from the subdivision’s existing wastewater treatment plant to the Sanitary District of Michigan City wastewater collection system. Also, this project addressed the following areas with no existing wastewater collection facilities: from the southwest corner of US 20 and 35 through the I-94 interchange, under the east branch of Trail Creek and to the top of the hill south of Michigan City Municipal Airport; from the north side of US 20 and 35 to the beginning of the SR 212 interchange; and along the northeast side of US 20/35 and SR 212 with discharge into the existing Sanitary District’s sanitary manhole.

Lincoln Area Sanitary Sewer System Rehabilitation, Merrillville, 1990 - 1999

In 1988 this client took over a private sewer utility and, thereby, became party to an Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Consent Decree Order. The Order mandated that several objectives be accomplished within a specific time period or else severe fines would be imposed. The main objective was to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows which were a common occurrence in the aging system. The project included an extensive sewer system evaluation study (SSES) of system mapping, smoke testing, flow metering, remote television inspections of sewers, dyed water flooding, night flow gauging, infiltration and inflow (I&I) analysis, and visual inspections of all manholes.

After the SSES was completed, a plan of action was developed and implemented. The sewer system rehabilitation included point repairs (75), sewer cleaning and root cutting (6,000 feet), joint grouting (40,000 feet), sewer replacement by conventional open-cut method (17,000 feet), sewer replacement by pipe bursting method (1,900 feet) and manhole rehabilitation (300 manholes). A new 2,500,000 gallon , concrete lined sanitary sewer overflow basin and 9,000 gallon per minute overflow basin pump station were also constructed.

As a result of the project improvements, the Consent Decree Order enforcement action was closed by IDEM in May 1999.

PROJECT COST: $4,500,000

Southside Sanitary Sewer System, Michigan City, 1998

After being unable to build the first design within existing budget constraints, the Sanitary District hired Haas & Associates to redesign the project. The trunk sewer system, which serves new growth on the south side of Michigan City, was redesigned and built at a savings of approximately $6,000,000.

PROJECT COST: $5,000,000
