Northeast Lift Station rehab complete; work stayed within contingency

Oct 6, 2026

An informational presentation reported the Northeast Lift Station rehabilitation (originally built 1976) is substantially complete; unforeseen repairs increased the contract by 7.8% but the project remained within an approximately 15% contingency and was funded by sewer user fees rather than the city tax base.

The full story

Mark Levi told the Board of Public Works on Oct. 6 that the Northeast Lift Station rehabilitation, begun in spring 2025, is substantially complete and will improve reliability and maintainability of Marshfield’s largest wastewater lift station. Levi described the station’s history — originally built in 1976 with partial rehabilitations in 2000 and 2015 — and said the station typically pumps nearly 1,000,000 gallons on a normal day.
