Port Huron Begins Major Upgrades To Edison Shores Pump Station, Road Closure In Effect

The City of Port Huron is set to commence extensive upgrades to the Edison Shores sanitary pump station, located on the northwest corner of Thomas Edison Drive and St. Clair Street, starting Monday, March 11th. These improvements will involve the replacement of three raw sewage pumps, piping, valves, flow meter, operating equipment, as well as concrete repairs and exterior enhancements. 

To facilitate the construction, Thomas Edison Drive will be closed to through traffic between Stone Street and St. Clair Street until approximately April 15th. A guided detour and Road Closed Local Traffic Only signs will be in place. By-pass pumping, utilizing portable pumps powered by a diesel generator and a pipeline across Thomas Edison Drive, will ensure uninterrupted sewer flow during the construction period. 

The Department of Public Works is available to address any inquiries or concerns regarding this project.
