Reuse Implementation Project Phase 1, 2, and 3
A new reuse water pipeline was constructed along Norwood and Maki Roads, west of State Highway 55. The pipeline connects to an existing line northwest of Norwood Road and Johnson Lane and transfers disinfected, treated effluent (reuse water) to farmer and rancher fields. Construction started in early May 2018 and was completed in October 2018.

Lift Station 26 through 28, Forcemain Replacement Project
Aging forcemain pipes were replaced at three lift stations along Warren Wagon Road. These pipes are pressurized to raise water from lower to higher elevations, so that water can continue to flow downhill to the next lift station. Construction in the right-of-way was completed in October 2018, with the remaining construction completed before the road was paved in Summer 2019, through the Federal Highway Administration project.
Idaho Street
The City of McCall completed this infrastructure improvement project in coordination with the Payette Lakes Recreational Water and Sewer District. The City upgraded street, water and stormwater infrastructure. The District improved and relocated multiple sewer main and service lines along Idaho Street between Browns Circle to First Street. The District’s goal is to enhance sewer system efficiency by reducing the number of main lines. The project started in Summer 2018 and was completed by Fall 2018.
Downtown Core, Phase 1A
The City of McCall completed this infrastructure improvement project in coordination with the Payette Lakes Recreational Water and Sewer District. The City is upgrading street, water and stormwater infrastructure in the downtown core. The District relocated and upgraded sewer lines in an effort to streamline infrastructure construction and locations. The project started in Summer 2018. To reduce impacts to residents and business owners, construction will be phased over multiple years. Work on the District’s sewer lines took place specifically on Second Street, Park Street, and Veterans’ Alley. The final inspection and completion of the sewer lines was in November 2020.
Lift Stations 46 & 50 Upgrade
This project upgraded two lift stations within the annexed former city sewer system that were undersized for the flow going through them. At Lift Station 46, two pumps were replaced and new control panels installed. At Lift Station 50, three pumps were replaced and control panels were upgraded with VFD control panels. These lift station upgrades allowed portions of the annexed city sewer system to no longer be under the interim density assigned in November 2020. The project was completed in November 2023.
Bond Project Timeline
With money from the bonds, projects to upgrade and improve the wastewater systems will be ongoing over the next several years.
