State Line Road Pump Stations & Forcemain

The purpose of the State Line Road Pump Stations and Forcemain project is to capture flows from the Leawood Service Area that currently drain across the State Line into the Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO) collection system and send that flow to JCW’s newly completed Tomahawk Wastewater Treatment Facility.

 

JCW evaluated the business case for this project and determined that the project will save JCW over $100 Million over 20 years, compared to the cost of continued treatment of all flows by KCMO. Along with these long-term savings, this project will pay for itself in approximately 6 to 7 years, providing near term financial benefits to the residents of Johnson County.

What is happening now on the project?
Currently there are crews in the field doing survey work and gathering information.

​Surveying activities are needed to gather topographical, surface feature data, geological conditions, and utility locations. This information will be used in the design of the proposed sewer pipeline. Doorhanger notifications are placed on businesses and homes in the area where crews will be to notify those who may be impacted. All of the JCW crews and subs will have a letter to identify them as part of the working crew.

Door hangers
  • ​Door hangers were placed Friday, January 6 at businesses and homes on the west side of State Line between 89th Street and I-435. To the right is the information on the door hanger. 

Official Letter

  • Letter - the survey crews and those working on behalf of JCW will have a copy of the attached letter without watermarks.

Dear Resident:

Johnson County Wastewater (JCW) is planning a new sanitary sewer project that will affect your neighborhood. The project will involve installing a pipe along State Line Road from 90th Street to Interstate 435.  Also, the City of Leawood and JCW are planning pavement repairs to southbound lanes of State Line Road from 89th Street to 103rd Street and State Line Way south of 103rd Street. This project will result in temporary traffic impacts during design and construction. 

  • Why is this project needed? 
    This project will save JCW over $100 Million over 20 years with financial benefits to the customers of JCW.

  • What should I expect at this stage?
    JCW has hired George Butler Associates (GBA) to design these improvements. GBA and their partners will be performing various field investigations including:

    • Surveying including the use of aerial drones

    • Exposing existing underground utilities to allow for measurements

    • Drilling to investigate soils along the project​

      ​You may notice employees of GBA and GBA’s partners working in your neighborhood.  All employees will be carrying an identification letter from JCW. Employees will not need to enter any homes.
       

  • Where is the project located?
    On the reverse side of this door hanger is a map of the extent of the project.

  • When will this occur?

    • Field investigations will be ongoing throughout the year.

    • ​Construction of this project is anticipated to begin in spring of 2024.  

  • How can I find out more about this project?

    • More information about the project can be found at:

    • In the future, the project team will have an open house to discuss this project for those directly affected. 
       

We appreciate your understanding.  If you have any questions of concerns, you may contact Michael Cunningham at JCW at 913‑715‑8545.

Project Schedule: In the Planning and Design Phase
