Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater

Sewer Gravity Pipe Lining Program
To strengthen the City’s wastewater infrastructure and reduce Infiltration and Inflow (I&I), the City has successfully completed the inspection and lining of its wastewater gravity main system. This proactive investment extends the life of the existing pipes, improves system reliability, and helps ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. To date, the City has invested more than $3.9 million in this critical program. Funding has been made possible through a combination of federal grants, low-interest loan programs, and utility enterprise funds, reflecting a commitment to leveraging outside resources while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

The sewer lines in the Manor Grove Condominiums have been replaced.

New water main and service line replacements have been installed along NW 29th Street and sections of NW 30th Court. These projects are part of the City’s Water, Wastewater & Stormwater Integrated Master Plan and were partially funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

The NW 30th Court project is complete.
Sewer lining for the NW 29th Street project has been completed. The water main line and water meter service lines were replaced and fire hydrants were added between the eastern right-of-way on Andrews Avenue to NW 9th Terrace.

NW 29th Street

NW 29th Street, from Powerline Road to Andrews Avenue, now has a two lane undivided section with 10’ travel lanes, 4’ bike lanes on both sides, and 5’ sidewalks on both sides.

The following improvements have been completed:

Milling and resurfacing the entire length of the Project; 1½ inch re-stripe, adding four-foot bike lanes and constructing sidewalk to fill-in gaps.
Existing patterned concrete was removed at three intersections and enhanced, raised crosswalks were installed. Detectable warning surfaces were provided at the existing sidewalks and curb ramp locations in addition to any proposed curb ramp locations. All improvements meet the current ADA and FDOT standards.
Drainage structures were modified or replaced at widening. Additionally, a French Drain system was provided as necessary to facilitate stormwater collection and swale storage.
The pedestrian crossing signals were upgraded to pedestrian countdown signals at the intersections of NW 29th Street/Andrews Avenue and NW 29th Street/Powerline Road.
