Cooper City will begin rehabilitating Wastewater Lift Station No. 6, located at 5301 SW 103 Avenue in the Cooper Village community, on Monday, October 19. The project will modernize aging infrastructure and help keep wastewater service reliable.
The work will require a temporary road closure within the work zone at SW 53 Street and SW 103 Avenue. Some neighboring residents will need to use SW 53 Court to access SW 53 Street. Please refer to the accompanying map for the work zone and alternate route.
Meanwhile, rehabilitation of Lift Station No. 53 in the Timberlake community is nearing full completion. The roadway between 5108 and 5112 SW 87 Avenue has been reopened, restoring the route residents use to access Griffin Road.
What to Expect in Cooper Village
Crews will restore structural and mechanical components and replace aging equipment at Lift Station No. 6. The rehabilitation will address deterioration and modernize essential systems that keep wastewater moving toward treatment.
Residents near the Cooper Village work site will see construction activity as rehabilitation gets underway. Please use caution near the work zone and follow posted detour signs.
What Is a Lift Station?
When you use a sink, shower, washing machine or toilet, wastewater enters a network of underground sewer pipes. Gravity helps move that wastewater through the system, but it cannot always carry it the entire distance.
A lift station provides the next push. It collects wastewater in an underground chamber called a wet well, then uses pumps to move it to a higher elevation so it can continue toward treatment. Electrical controls operate and monitor the pumps to keep wastewater moving.
Keeping these stations reliable helps reduce the risk of wastewater backups and service disruptions, protecting public health and the surrounding environment.
Why These Improvements Are Needed
Lift Station No. 6 in Cooper Village, along with Lift Stations No. 53 and No. 54, was originally constructed in the 1970s. These facilities are among the oldest in Cooper City’s wastewater system.
Routine inspections identified corrosion inside the wet wells, aging pipes and valves, and outdated electrical and mechanical equipment. Their deteriorating condition has increased maintenance needs and made them more susceptible to operational failures, placing them among the City’s highest priorities for rehabilitation.
The improvements will help extend the stations’ service life, improve reliability and reduce the need for frequent repairs.
Part of a Broader Investment in Wastewater Infrastructure
In February 2026, the City Commission approved rehabilitation of Lift Stations No. 6, No. 53 and No. 54, with a total project investment of $838,542, including a 5% contingency.
Three specialized contractors are supporting the improvements. Champion Controls, Inc. is supplying new electrical control panels to improve pump operation, monitoring and safety. Hinterland Group, Inc. is completing construction and rehabilitation work, including restoration of structural and mechanical components. PSI Technologies, Inc. is providing new pumps and related equipment through a previously authorized procurement.
The project is funded through the City’s Water and Sewer Fund. The City is also using competitively awarded contracts from Broward County and Palm Beach County to support cost efficiency.
With rehabilitation beginning in Cooper Village and work nearing completion in Timberlake, Cooper City continues addressing deteriorating infrastructure, reducing the risk of service disruptions and strengthening the wastewater system for the years ahead.
We thank our Timberlake residents for their patience as work nears completion. We also appreciate our Cooper Village residents’ cooperation and apologize for the inconvenience as crews complete these essential improvements.
