Bolton & Menk worked with the city and other entities to find a real solution that was smart, effective, and affordable.

When the system was overloaded, the city was forced to bypass excess untreated wastewater into nearby public ditches and waterways.
Bolton & Menk worked with the city, MnDOT, and Minnesota PFA to identify issues and scope as well as coordinate funding for a five-block segment of TH 30 suspected to be a significant source of the city’s I&I problems. This project demonstrates how high-level cooperation between government entities can create resourceful, cost-saving solutions.

This project reduced I&I, alleviated flooding of the bridge underpass, and improved the road surface for the betterment of the citizens of Pipestone and the many travelers who pass through town each day.
