The new First Creek Interceptor (FCI) system, i.e. Segments 0 through 1E, begins at Aurora’s Prologis Lift Station and terminates at the Metro Water Recovery District (MWRD) owned regional Second Creek interceptor. The FCI system will provide a gravity solution for wastewater to reach the Northern Treatment Plant (NTP) thereby eliminating Aurora’s Prologis Lift Station, First Creek Lift Station, Second Creek Lift Station, and High Point Lift Station and thus reducing long term maintenance and energy costs for the utility. MWRD’s Second Creek interceptor is anticipated to be operational in the second quarter of 2024.
The purpose of this project “FCI Gravity System Tie-In” is to construct the final tie-in at three lift stations that will become obsolete. These are Prologis Lift Station located near E Smith Rd and E-470, 1st Creek Lift Station located near E 48th Ave and N Picadilly Rd, and Second Creek Lift Station located near E 68th Ave and Denali St.
