City staff says Drexel lift station nearing completion ahead of planned race reopening
Summary
Public works staff reported the Drexel lift station building is in place and manufacturer testing is scheduled; remaining tasks include power, fiber and a railroad permit, with a targeted reopening date to support a local race.
Oak Creek — City staff told the Board of Public Works and Capital Assets on June 10 that the Drexel lift station is approaching completion and the city is pushing to have it operational for an upcoming race.
Public works staff said the building has been installed and the manufacturer will begin equipment testing later in the week. Staff reported remaining tasks include obtaining power—dependent on an external contractor—and installing a fiber connection that requires a railroad permit. “We’re hoping harder next week once Buttes closes,” one staff member said of scheduling, and added staff are pushing the contractor to finish by the 24th so the area can reopen for the race.
Board members asked no substantive technical questions during the update. Staff characterized the project as nearing completion but contingent on external schedules for power activation and railroad permitting for fiber installation.
No formal action was required at the meeting; the report served as an administrative status update and staff indicated they will continue to press contractors and external permit processes to meet the timeline.
