The City of Dubuque will hold a project kick-off for the Dubuque Gate and Pump Station Flood Mitigation Project this Tuesday afternoon at 1 o’clock at the Eagles Watch Audubon Overlook at the 16th Street Detention Basin. The public is invited to attend to learn more about the project.
The project is a phase of the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project and will involve the construction of a new stormwater pumping station on Kerper Boulevard and the decommissioning of the existing pump station system installed as part of the John C. Culver Floodwall/Levee system.
The new facility will include a new flood gate, four new 100,000 gallon per minute pumps doubling the capacity of the existing facility, new electrical service, and the installation of back-up generators.
The $26.6 million dollar project is expected to be complete by July of 2027.
