Legislative Priorities Submission: Madisonville/Hanson Wastewater Treatment Project

Submitted by: City of Madisonville

The community growth of Hanson is limited in part by the volume and rate of wastewater discharge that Madisonville's sanitary sewer system can accommodate for conveyance and treatment. The proposed project is to address that constraint by providing a relief interceptor sewer that will reroute certain existing flows with Madisonville's system, which will in turn allow Hanson to assume some of that redirected capacity.

The Hanson Relief Interceptor calls for an upgraded pump station, 2,500 LF of 12" force main and 10,600 LF of gravity mains. In addition to addressing this growth restraint on Hanson, this project also provides the means to eliminate three existing pump stations within Madisonville's sanitary sewer system (Southern States PS, Thompson Avenue PS, and West Noel Avenue PS).

The study conducted has estimated construction costs for this project as follows: the cost for the interceptor sewer at $3,410,000; the project development cost estimated at $1,023,000; for a total project cost of $4,433,000 (at 2009 dollars).

This project has been submitted through the PeADD office and approved for inclusion under the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority, No. SX21107022.
