The City of St. Charles received the 2025 APWA Chicago Metro Chapter- Project of the Year Award in the Environmental Category $5 Million to $25 million at the luncheon on Friday, March 14, 2025. Originally built in the 1930s, the City’s Riverside Lift Station had undergone decades of improvements but could no longer handle Peak Wet Weather Flow events. Additionally, its location within the Fox River floodplain and floodway made further upgrades essential. The project involved constructing a new pump station outside the 500-year floodplain, along with odor control, a backup generator, screening, a protected water system, and SCADA improvements. The project overcame challenges related to groundwater, bedrock, and stakeholder coordination. The new lift station now provides enhanced reliability and long-term resilience for the community. Congratulations to the City of St. Charles on this achievement. Trotter and Associates, Inc. is proud to have been part of this project.
