What is the Lakewood Interceptor Tunnel Rehabilitation Project?

The Lakewood Interceptor Project is part of Clean Water Lakewood—a major effort by the City of Lakewood to modernize our combined sewer system. Clean Water Lakewood projects help us protect the natural environment and meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act. This project will reline the large combined sewer interceptor that collects wastewater from most of the city and sends it to the Lakewood Wastewater Treatment Plant. There, it is treated to meet rigid environmental standards and safely released back into the environment offshore in Lake Erie.
