The scope of the project is to replace and upgrade the stormwater pump station that transfers water from the City's closed canal system to the SFWMD's C-6 Canal. The pump serves as flood control to local residents and businesses located in the WBID 3290 basin, as well as several neighboring communities along South Royal Poinciana, which is a major South-East thoroughfare along Miami Springs. The City of Miami Springs(City) owns, operates, and maintainsthe stormwater managementsystem within itsservice area. The existing pump is performing below capacity, is obsolete, and fails frequently. The main object is that the groundwater table elevation in the area remains high throughout the years as the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) keeps the C-6 canal stages elevated enough to provide little to no head for storm water to drain by gravity. Flooding causes pollutants and solids to wash into the canal system and also increases the possibility of exfiltration and infiltration in the sewer lines. The degraded pump capacity has resulted in minor to severe roadway flooding and has threatened private residences and businesses in Hook Square and throughout the basin. The replacement of the pump station will alleviate flooding and help prevent pollutants from entering the C-6 canal. Building enhancements will also be required for the pump house's structure in addition to the replacement of the pump. The Project construction is anticipated to be completed by September 2024.
