The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District has begun construction of the Dugway West Interceptor Relief Sewer, an extensive Project Clean Lake project we refer to as the Dugway Sewer.

Equipment and Construction Zones

The Dugway Sewer project includes the use of heavy machinery (excavation and microtunneling equipment, cranes and trucks) to construct the shafts and tunnels required for the project. All construction zones will be fenced and barricaded and the shafts will be covered during non-working hours.

Safety of area residents and our workers is a top priority for the Sewer District and will be taken seriously. However, please be careful while driving and/or walking near the work zones.

We understand the impact this project will have on the Glenville neighborhood and we ask for your cooperation and patience during the process. We strive to be good neighbors during this project and will work diligently to keep any disruption of the community to a minimum.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Sewer District’s Customer Service Department at (216) 881-8247 or leave us a comment below.

Walsh/Super Excavators JV II is the prime contractor responsible for the construction of Dugway Sewer.

About Project Clean Lake

The Dugway Sewer is part of Project Clean Lake, the Sewer District’s $3 billion, 25-year program to reduce the amount of combined sewer overflows that discharge a mixture of sanitary sewage and stormwater into area waterways (including Dugway Brook and Lake Erie) during heavy rains.

Upon completion, the Dugway Sewer will allow the Sewer District to capture and treat 110 million gallons of combined sewage annually, preventing it from entering the environment and negatively impacting the Glenville neighborhood and Greater Cleveland.

April 4th Community Meeting Presentation

Thank you to everyone who attended tonight's Ward 9 meeting hosted by Councilman Conwell. The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District hopes you found tonight's presentation informational and helpful.

The Dugway West Interceptor Relief Sewer is part of a network of sewers and tunnels being constructed to drastically reduce combined sewer overflows (or CSO), ensuring a cleaner environment for the Glenville neighborhood and beyond. DWIRS is part of the Euclid Creek and Dugway Storage Tunnel system which, when completed, should reduce CSOs and decrease flooding.

As promised, a copy of the PowerPoint Presentation is posted below.
