The City of Meridian 2017 Collection System Master Plan (CSMP) identified the Can Ada Lift Station (LS) as a future regional lift station required to serve the full build-out of the master plan study area.
Project Scope
The Can Ada LS will be located near the southeast corner of the intersection of N Can Ada Road and W McMillan Road. The City acquired the property for this lift station in 2022. This lift station and associated infrastructure are necessary to accommodate growth in the Can Ada Lift Station service area.
Along with the construction of the LS, the project will include constructing two (2) pressure sewer force mains that will start near Can Ada Road and extend along W McMillan Road and terminating at the Oaks LS on N McDermott Rd. and one (1) gravity sewer line that will start near Can Ada Road and extend along W McMillan Road and terminating at Star Road.
What to Expect
During construction, expect to hear normal sounds for a typical road construction project, such as backup alarms, jackhammering, and noise from tractors and other heavy equipment.
Construction hours are typically Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Other infrastructure projects are happening in the area by the Can Ada Lift Station project. To see current projects, access the Idaho Department of Transportation's 2025 Current Projects Map.
