16th Street Detention Basin Flood Gate Replacement and Pump Station Project

under construction

Construction on the 16th Street Detention Basin flood gate replacement and pump station project in Dubuque is set to resume after a temporary pause for additional environmental analysis. The project includes building a new stormwater pumping station and installing four new high-capacity pumps to double the current pumping capability, improving the system that moves stormwater from the Bee Branch Watershed to the Mississippi River and protecting over 1,300 nearby properties from flooding during high river levels.
