Description

The City of Gunnison has been awarded Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in March, 2021. One of the eligible uses of the funds is for investments in sewer and water infrastructure needs. Previous engineering studies and hydraulic models have identified sewer “pinch points” and areas that restrict the ability for greater density and economic developments such as housing projects utilizing existing City sewer infrastructure. Use of the SLFRF funds to eliminate the sewer pinch points will allow for more housing opportunities and better operations of the City sewer system. In 2018 a sewer capacity engineering study was conducted for the City to determine how many units could be tied into the existing sewer system and allow several infill housing developments to occur, and was completed in 2019. It was determined that after approximately 220 single family units (SFUs) were constructed in the Gunnison Rising development, and the planned developments on N. Colorado (e.g. Gardenwalk & Paintbrush), the existing sewer line on East San Juan Ave could no longer operate and would need to be upsized. Since that time more inflow measurements of the sewer have been completed (2019); CCTV inspections of existing sewer mains with NASSCO reporting were completed documenting deficiencies (2020); a new and revised hydraulic model of the sewer was started in 2021 and will be completed in early 2022. This revised sewer model will include increased density beyond the 2018 sewer capacity study and incorporate updated information listed above. The City’s goal is to have construction completed by the fall of 2023 and all compliance completed by spring of 2024.
