RE: Reservation of Easements by the City of Dubuque, Iowa
Twin Ridge Sanitary Sewer Extension and Lagoon Abandonment Project
(CIP#7102754)
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to seek approval for the reservation of two sanitary sewer
utility easements across City owned property in the Dubuque Technology Park and in the Twin
Ridge Subdivision as part of the Twin Ridge Sanitary Sewer Extension and Lagoon
Abandonment Project.
BACKGROUND
In 1998 the City began to extend sanitary sewer along Granger Creek, for the Dubuque
Technology Park development. The Granger Creek Interceptor Sewer (GCSI) extension
consisted of the Granger Creek Pump Station and approximately 17,600 LF of both 20 inch and
18" diameter pipe. In 2015, the City extended the interceptor sewer, continuing along Granger
Creek and U.S. Highway 151/61, to the Dubuque Regional Airport. The GCIS extension
increased Sewer Shed 4 to approximately 6,300 acres.
Since the GCIS and the extension to the Dubuque Regional Airport has been completed, several
adjacent areas in or near Key West have connected to the City's GCIS, such as; Table Mound
Mobile Home park, Kerrigan Heights Subdivision, Truck Country, a portion of Twin Ridge
Subdivision, and Silver Oaks Subdivision. Tamarack Business Park and the City's Crossroads
Industrial Park, along with other adjacent parcels, are also able to be served by GCIS.
The City of Dubuque submitted a facility plan, based on the results of an intensive evaluation of
the existing interceptor collection and pumping systems that convey sewage to the Water
Resource Recovery Center (WRRC), to Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), in
September of 2021. The facility plan identified three improvement projects related to the Granger
Creek Interceptor Sewer System; Granger Creek Lift Station Capacity Improvements, Twin
Ridge Sanitary sewer Extension and lagoon abandonment and the Tamarack Sanitary Sewer
Extension.
The Twin Ridge Sanitary Sewer Extension and Lagoon Abandonment Project will extend the
sanitary sewer gravity system and connect into the existing Twin Ridge Subdivision gravity
sewer system along with abandoning the existing lagoon system. With the completion of this
project the City will no longer need to permit to operate and maintain the lagoon system and the
parcel, currently occupied by the lagoon system. This parcel would then be available for
redevelopment.
DISCUSSION
The City of Dubuque plans to reserve sanitary sewer utility easements over the above -described
properties, as set forth in the attached Reservation of Easements, as part of the Twin Ridge
Sanitary Sewer Extension and Lagoon Abandonment Project and to ensure that the appropriate
easements are in place prior to the future disposition of the property for redevelopment.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend approval of the reservation of the two sanitary sewer utility easements across Lot
12, Block 2, Dubuque Technology Park, in the City of Dubuque, Iowa and Lot B of Twin Ridge
Subdivision No. 5 in Dubuque County, Iowa, as shown on the attached Reservation of
Easements document to facilitate the construction of the Twin Ridge Sanitary Sewer Extension
and Lagoon Abandonment Project.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully request approval of the Reservation of Easements document through the adoption
of the enclosed resolution.
