Fort Wayne City Utilities is developing a design for a project which will reduce street flooding and improve drainage in the Limberlost Acres Subdivision. The Limberlost Acres Drainage Improvement Project is intended to alleviate street and yard flooding within the Limberlost Acres Subdivision, which has been reported to the city. The project includes the reconstruction of swales within the Rights-of-Way, as well as the installation of approximately 2,800 feet of storm sewer. The work will require street and driveway crossings for pipe installation in some areas throughout the neighborhood. City Utilities’ engineering team would like to give you an update on the plans.

Fort Wayne City Utilities is developing a stormwater drainage project within your neighborhood. The Vesey Neighborhood-Quimby Village Drainage Improvement project is designed to improve the watershed drainage patterns, improve flood-fighting efforts during high river events, and remove sources of stormwater from entering the sanitary sewer system.  The major components of the project include a stormwater detention basin, stormwater pump station, storm sewer and structures, grading and restoration to yards and pavement.  The project will extend from the northern limits of Quimby Village, Vesey Ave. and along the St. Mary’s River, Kinsmoor Ave., Ozark Ave., and Nuttman Ave.

December 19, 2019: They are digging deep near the intersection of Rudisill and Broadway.  The consolidation sewer will take the flow from two pipes that currently dump into the St. Marys River when it rains and drop that flow down to the tunnel. Scroll below graphic to see December photos. 

Project Information: The Rudisill Consolidation Sewer is a near-surface sewer that will capture combined sewer overflow and convey it to the Three Rivers Protection and Overflow Reduction Tunnel (3RPORT). The existing sewer pipes are below grade at the intersection of Rudisill and Broadway. Currently, two combined sewers that carry both sewage and stormwater dump an average of 392 million gallons of combined sewage into the St. Marys River per year.  The consolidation sewer will divert the flow from the two pipes and transport it to a drop shaft that will connect it to the 3RPORT.

Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2021
Contractor: FA Wilhelm Construction Inc.
Project Investment: $6,000,000
