Valley Knolls – Carson City, NV – Wastewater Lift Station
Wastewater Lift Station Project Description
The Valley Knolls Development in Carson City, Nevada is a sprawling new housing development by KDH Builders, LLC.
Carson City is the capital of Nevada while also being very close to Lake Tahoe, a popular vacation destination. Carson City is about 30 minutes south of Reno, Nevada and is on the eastern edge of the Carson Range, which is a branch of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range.
The Valley Knolls Development is located in north Douglas County at the east end of Topsy Lane. It will have up to 178 single family units and 96 triplex units.
The development also includes a community center and recreational facilities to enhance the community livability.
The project required a new wastewater station to service the new housing development.
Romtec Utilities worked with KDH Builders on performing the first phases of the lift station. Romtec Utilities was brought this project by Manhard after performing on the previous Douglas County development project: Clear Creek.
The station is very similar to the Clear Creek development in Carson City , but this one is a multi-phase project starting with approximately 100 GPM pumps and working up to 900-1000 GPM pumps. Douglas County in Nevada will be the end owner of the lift station.
Peek Brothers was the general contractor who also installed the lift station on behalf of the developer KDH Builders. The site engineer was Manhard Consulting while the electrical engineer was Jensen Electric.
