Site work for a water / sewer project in Lake Park, Florida. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

*As of November 11, 2020, a general contractor has been awarded. The Work is generally described as follows: The engineered project will establish and improve the Level of Service of Lake Shore Drive by improving drainage and addressing sea level rise as a result of storm surges, king tides, and climate change. The project includes a new drainage infrastructure, a pump station, a dry detention/bio-swale area for water quality, and in-line check valves to prevent backflow from the Intracoastal Waterway/Lake Worth Lagoon (LWL). The major items of the project include new roadway drainage, reconstruction of the roadway with curb and gutter, and sidewalks. The project design includes four locations where storm water discharges to the LWL via Existing gravity pipes (to remain). Each pipe will include a storm water pollution baffle and an in-line check valve. A 22,500 gpm pump station will be constructed to handle higher sea level conditions. The station will pump water to a new dry detention/bio-swale area to be located in an adjacent park. The detention/bio-swale area will attenuate and treat the stormwater before discharging it to the LWL via a raised inlet with a 12-inch pipe and retaining walls to channel water over the existing seawall. The project includes the reconstruction of Lake Shore Drive from 190 feet south of Date Palm Drive to 65 feet northwest of Castlewood Drive, a distance of 3,250 linear feet. Approximately 30 storm drainage inlets are included in the project which will be located in grassed swale areas. The new storm water carrying pipes include sizes up to 72 inches in diameter.
