The 2015 Facility Plan identified the replacement of the Riverside Lift Station as a priority for the City of St. Charles. The project includes the demolition of the existing lift station (which is partly within the floodway of the Fox River) and the construction of a new, dual-wet-well lift station out of the 500-year floodplain. The new lift station will include an emergency backup generator, two 35 MGD bar screens, a parallel wet well design with eight submersible pumps operating through two existing force mains, a biological odor control system, and a bridge crane. The structure will also provide public restrooms and upgrade the existing historical monument areas nearby. The project began construction in the summer of 2022, screening a portion of tributary raw wastewater in January 2024 and taking all incoming flows in February 2024.
