Project Description
Project Update
In 2010, Eckler Engineering completed the Downtown Redevelopment Area Water and Wastewater Study. The report projects water and wastewater needs for proposed land use types such as office, retail, residen al, library, school, government offices, hotel rooms, and movie theaters for Downtown Coral Springs. The Study forecasts an increase of .75 MGD in addi onal water demand for the build-out of the Downtown. This project funds the construc on of a new 12-inch water line into Downtown from Cardinal Road, along with 12- and 10-inch sanitary force mains to service three future li sta ons. The li sta ons are not included as part of this budget request.
Funds were budgeted in Fiscal Year 2012 for design of a water line into Downtown, along with sanitary force mains that will serve three future li sta ons. The plan is to have the necessary infrastructure in place to meet water, sewer, and fire suppression needs before the development of Downtown Coral Springs.
