Deephaven Lift Station L48 Improvements

September 19, 2024

Project Overview

Met Council has aging sanitary sewer infrastructure that needs improvement. The Deephaven Lift Station L48 Improvements project will include the rehabilitation of Lift Station L48, which pumps wastewater from the neighborhood to a water resource recovery facility - replacing valves, pumps, and pipes as well as electrical and site work. The project will also include the replacement of a connected pressurized sanitary sewer pipe that carries wastewater, which was built in 1970 and is reaching the end of its service life.

The project will start the last week of September/first week of October and be complete in 2025. Impacts to the community may include: interim traffic disruptions; noise during construction working hours; odors, including a resin smell from a pipe-lining procedure; and temporary water shutoffs for some residents.

Upcoming Work

Work will begin on Ridgewood Road from Vine Hill Road to Wyndhill Circle. This section is expected to close the first week of October and reopen by early December. Please use the detour route shown on the detour map below. Residents on and directly off the closed section of Ridgewood Road will be allowed in and out except for potential brief periods that will be communicated with residents.

Residents in the area should use the phone number or email below to notify the project team if they are hosting any important events or expecting any large deliveries. Temporary mailboxes will be set up for interim use, and residents will be notified of their location. The project team will coordinate with waste haulers on waste pickup and Minnetonka Public Schools to arrange alternate bus stops and routes.

The intersection of Ridgewood Road and Vine Hill Road is scheduled to be closed for construction during MEA weekend, Oct. 17-20, while Deephaven Elementary School is not in session.

For your safety, please stay away from the contractor’s equipment and do not attempt to interfere with work. For all questions and concerns, please contact the project hotline or email listed below.
