Site work for a water / sewer project in Naples, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The City owns and maintains old outfall pipes along Naples Beaches that discharge stormwater directly onto the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico within the recreational swim area. FDEP requires that this system be improved in a way that removes pipes and the discharge of stormwater from the beach and shoreline. This CIP transitions the existing northern four stormwater shoreline discharges into a single, offshore discharge that integrates a pump station to be located on an easement over the Naples Beach & Golf Course property. The new drainage system will incorporate numerous water quality improvement components. The design reduces flooding, improves water quality, sea turtle habitat, lateral beach access, and reduces beach erosion. It also protects the public from contact with the pipes and discharge water on at the shoreline. A separate $5 million has been budgeted for this project from one-cent sales tax revenue has been dedicated to this project. As of September 27, 2021, this project is included in the City of City of Naples FY 2024-2027. Information regarding design firm and general contractor selection timeline has not been released.
