Pump Station 6 Replacement and Pump Station 13 Improvements

The Summit County Department of Sanitary Sewer Services is implementing plans to replace Pump Station 6 in Hudson and to improve Pump Station 13 in Stow. Summit County has requested approximately $8,000,000.00 from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) for this project to abandon the existing Pump Station 6 and install a new pump station as well as rehab the existing Pump Station 13 and install 390 linear feet of 12-inch sanitary force main on Call Road.

Ohio EPA will administer loan preparation based on state standards and Ohio EPA procedures.  Construction will be by contractors selected by the County’s competitive bidding process.

Sewer rates will not change due to this project.  Summit County qualifies for the standard interest rate, which is currently 3.58% for a 20-year loan. Construction will begin in the Fall of 2025 and be completed by the Fall of 2026.
