Site work, outdoor lighting and renovation of a water / sewer project in Venice, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; for site work for a water / sewer project; and for outdoor lighting for a water / sewer project.

This project is included in the Sarasota County's fiscal years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of January 5, 2024, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, funding is allotted to fiscal year 2025. A detailed scope has not yet been released. The project consists of purchasing and installing lightning arrays for the Carlton Wellfield. The Carlton Water Treatment Plant includes sixteen (16) wells that provide source water to the facility. These wells are in reserve and are frequently hit by lightning during storm events. Currently, the Carlton facility utilizes lightning arrays on the facility building to provide protection from lightning strikes. These arrays have consistently provided surge protection for the facility and the adjacent area. This installation project would include the same surge technology within the wellfield to alleviate any further damage caused by lightning strikes. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
