Renovation of a water / sewer project in Largo, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

A number of the Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WWRF) sanitary sewer lift stations are in the flood plain. Continuity of operations of these lift stations is at risk during high rain and/or flooding events. This project included a consultant Preliminary Engineering Basis of Design in FY 2019 and a consultant design in FY 2020 to raise critical infrastructure above the flood plain at Lift Stations 19, 26, 41, and 47. Construction and construction inspection services for one lift station are scheduled for FY 2023. The remaining three lift stations are scheduled for construction in FY 2024. Mitigation of flood plain risk not only ensures continuity of lift station operations, but it also reduces risk of sanitary sewer overflows. Similar to the four lift stations described above, lift station 38 has been identified as the City's next focus to relocate wastewater pumping facilities to the 500-year floodplain. During a 2023 storm event, Lift station 38 encountered at least 6- inches of flooding with its adjacency to Allen Creek. Relocation of the lift station will improve resiliency for this community's wastewater system for the design life of the new lift station. The project is included in the City's 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of April 18,2026, further details have not yet been identified. *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.
