It will connect Casino 9, Mil Creek Marina, Barclay Hill, Park Ave. and Darin Thruway off the end of Hunter Road, White Oak, right side of Pelican Point, Saddle Road, Lakewood Beach, and Idlewyld Road. This will amount to approximately 350 new connections. Current estimate is for the work to be in 2021 or 2022.

The construction contract for Phase V will be let in early 2020 with actual construction to begin in Spring. Construction will be divided into 2 parts; plant construction and sewer infrastructure to connect 136 new connections.

Phase V will be built with funds provided bt the Missouri Clean Water Fund. GASD will receive a loan of $1.635 million with a matching grant of $1.635 million. Approximately $600,000 will be spent to expand the sewer plant to be better able to handle the heavy summer flow of sewage. The District plans to implement sewers in a portion of Pelican Point off of Highway O, the rest of Moffitt Point, Morgan Hills, and King Road. Paperwork is currently underway.

The contractors are wrapping up the last few houses on Horseshoe Road in Moffitt Point. Ground cleanup will begin as soon as the weather moderates. Putting grass seed on the ground outside of the growing season is not something the contractors will do. Most work will be done by the end of April 2019

After bids were received in May, the award of the contract was made to Sterling Excavation & Engineering and their subsidiary of Ryan Construction Co. Construction began in August with the bulk of construction to be completed by the end of the year.
