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

The 142nd Ave. Interceptor begins at the Public Works facility and runs east along Donegan Rd. to 142nd Ave. Since the Wet Weather pumping system was put into operation, the flow through the upper reaches of the interceptor has been greatly reduced as intended to mitigate sanitary sewer overflows. The lower flows result in an acceleration of sediment buildup in the pipe. This development increased the number of cleanings for the interceptor. The goal of this project would be to construct a new lift station at Public Works and pump the flow past the flat section of the interceptor, to a point where higher flow will prevent sediment buildup. The city will hire an engineering consultant to evaluate the existing system, develop design alternatives, then proceed with a design. The city will realize a savings of approximately $80,000 per year in interceptor cleaning cost but will see an additional operational and maintenance cost of approximately $33,000 for the new lift station. The project is include in the city's 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *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.
