#20 Clearing Up the Clear Fork: Implementing a Unique Design Solution to Eliminate Long-Standing Maintenance Challenge

July 29, 2024 | 1:30pm

Construction is planned to be completed in the Spring of 2024 on the City of Fort Worth’s Clear Fork Lift Station and Force Main. This project eliminates regular sanitary sewer overflows in the City’s Clear Fork basin by skimming wastewater from two existing 48-inch interceptors and pumping up to 22 MGD of peak wet-weather flows downstream avoiding existing gravity system choke points. The force main consists of approximately 14,000 linear feet of 36-inch HDPE. The primary focus of this paper will be the unique and challenging system hydraulics inherent in designing a system to pump downhill.
