Storm Water Rebate Program

The City of Humboldt has implemented a Storm Water Rebate Program to assist eligible property owners with the installation of protective plumbing to decrease the risk of damages from future flooding.

Under this program, protective plumbing refers to sump pump systems and backwater valves and the disconnection of weeping tile from the sewer system.

This program applies to all property owners who wish to protect their homes from sewer backups and eliminate inflows from their property to the sanitary system,

A maximum rebate of $1,000.00 is available.

Upgrading the Forcemain

The City currently has two force mains between Lift Station #1 and the Sewage Lagoon. They are 250 mm (10") and 150 mm (6") in size. This year the City will be replacing the 6" forcemain with a 10" forcemain. The upgrading of this pipe to 10" will more than double the flowable area over the 6" pipe. This project is expected to help lower the probablility of future sanitary sewage backups in this area. The City is currently working with consulting engineers to create a detailed assessment of both the Storm Sewer and thge Sanitary Systems throughout the City. The end result is to provide a targeted Storm Sewer and Sanitary System improvement projects that will reduce and eliminate flooding, and sanitary sewer backups. This work will be continued through the Spring of 2011.
