Site work for a water / sewer project in Ocala, Florida. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The City of Ocala (Grantee) has approximately 4,000 new homes that need access to a centralized sanitary sewer system (CSSS). Without a connection to a CSSS, installation of septic tanks is needed. To avoid installing septic tanks, the Grantee will install approximately 6,000 linear feet of approximately 18-inch force main that will connect to lift station 127, creating a connection point for the approximate 4,000 new homes. This force main installation prevents approximately 57,360 lbs of total nitrogen from contaminating the groundwater annually.
