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

In FY19-20, a Basin Assessment was performed to identify vulnerabilties to a specific drainage area within the Aqualane Shores neighborhood (a sub-basin of Basin IV). This area has long been identified as a particularly vulnerable area as it is low lying and has several stormwater discharge connections to canals that rely on gravity. This existing system is very susceptible to rising sea levels and its drainage capabilities hampered by tides. The assessment included recommendations for improving the neighborhoods drainage and resiliency to storm events, thereby protecting upland properties and public infrastructure, including, roads and landscaping. The cost of recommended improvements exceeded $40,000,000; therefore, City Council directed staff to develop short, medium and long-term projects for implementation. In FY20-21, staff constructed short-term projects such as stormwater pipe upsizing, installing backflow preventors, and beginning swale reclamation. In FY21-22, and future out years, additional backflow preventors will be installed, more swales will be reclaimed, and pipe inlet improvements made. As of October 3, 2022, this project is included in the City of City of Naples FY 2023-2027. This work is likely to be completed either in-house by the owner or through an annual maintenance contract. Further details will not be made available. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
