The Church Creek drainage basin is in southwest Largo. Its general boundaries are Walsingham Rd on the south, Vonn Rd on the east, Indian Rocks Road on the west, and Wilcox Road on the north. The current drainage system is in poor condition and undersized. Phase I of the Church Creek Drainage Improvement Project was completed in 2008. Phase I replaced an existing concrete channel with a box culvert, between Croft Dr. N and Twigg Ter. Phases II and III were deferred due to a lack of an easement. Phase II will convey the stormwater coming out of the Phase I box culvert into a new box culvert along Twigg Ter, discharging it into Church Creek. This work also includes the replacement and relocation of the sanitary gravity line along Twigg Ter. Phase III will convey excess flow during large storm events through upgraded stormwater infrastructure and discharging it further downstream in Church Creek. Phases 2 and 3 were swapped in early because (a) The Twigg Terrace Phase 2 discharge design location proved non-feasible and (b) a property owners impacted by Phase 3 flooding are now willing to provide easements. Contruction funding re-budgeted for Phase 2 is now being redirected to Phase 3 taking advantage of the willingness of property owners to grant easements.
