Site work for a water / sewer project in Saint Augustine Beach, Florida. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

As of November 5, 2024, an engineer has been selected. The project is on a 30% project design as well as permit determinations for St. Johns River Water Management District.this project is in the conceptual phase. An architect has not been selected. A firm timeline for construction has not been determined. The proposed 69-acre project area is a delisted basin comprised of developed low-lying lands bounded by S.R. A1A on the west and higher developed land on the east. Several subdivisions are located within the project area, including Magnolia Dunes; Atlantic Oaks Circle; Serenity Bay; Villa Del Rey; as well as other City streets to the north and south. The newer subdivisions of Magnolia Dunes and Serenity Bay operate under environmental resource permits but lack positive outfall. A single outfall from the 69-acre project area is at the northern end of Atlantic Oaks Circle. From this location drainage flows approximately 1.8 miles to the City’s master drainage facility west of Mizell Road via an exfiltration pipe along 5th Avenue, the Mickler Boulevard ditch, and the 11th Street ditch. No drainage conveyance improvements drain the project area to the existing inlets on the north end of Atlantic Oaks Circle, which result in localized flooding during times of high groundwater and intense rainfall. The City is working to develop a drainage solution for the project area which will provide positive outfall and flood protection to residents and will account for the low-lying topography, topographic barriers, sea-level rise, and limitations of the downstream drainage system including tailwater conditions.
