Mayor Kirk Caldwell led the groundbreaking of the Ala Moana Wastewater Pump Station Force Mains #3 and #4 project at Sand Island State Recreation Area.

The project is part of the city's 25 year Global Consent Decree (GCD) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The new 60" force mains will transport the peak wet weather flow from Ala Moana WWPS to the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. When completed the new force mains will be interchangeably operated with the existing Ala Moana force main #2. Frank Coluccio Construction Co is the contractor for the overall project, which is estimated to be completed late next year. Force main #3 is expected to be completed prior to the GCD deadline of Dec. 31, 2014.

March 24 marked the 8th anniversary of the Waikiki sewage spill.
