Sewer Projects

Chicory Road Sanitary Sewer Improvements

This project is being implemented by both the Racine Wastewater Utility and the Mount Pleasant Sewer Utility District to address potential capacity issues in the sewer system and help prevent basement backups/sewer overflows. The Mount Pleasant Sewer Utility previously conducted a thorough inspection of all public sewer mains and manholes, as well as an investigation of private sewer laterals and illegal downspout/sump pump connections to the system. There are two separate projects planned as part of these improvements: 

  1. Approximately 5,000' of sanitary sewer will be replaced with larger diameter pipe. The design is complete for this phase. Construction will likely commence in the Spring of 2023.
  2. An underground storage tank will be constructed to handle larger flows that occur during rain events that exceed the new sewer's capacity. 

Both projects will be initially funded via a loan through the Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources. 

The intersection of Chicory Road & Lathrop Avenue is anticipated to re-open the week of September 11, 2023.
Chicory Road, between Lathrop Avenue & Wood Duck Way is anticipated to re-open mid-October 2023.
