Gulf Road Rehabilitation Project:
This project involves waterline, storm drainage, and roadway work between Whitman and Vista Court. Resurfacing will take place between Vista Court (just south of Vista) to Wastewater Treatment Plant Entrance. The resurfacing that was not completed in ESRS Phase 1A will be completed through this project (for those that have been with me on this journey since the beginning, you know what I’m talking about). During this project, Gulf Road will be CLOSED TO THROUGH TRAFFIC. THIS MEANS TRAFFIC WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THROUGH THE WORK ZONE. As of today, the closure will begin next Monday, 9/10. Signs will be up to direct traffic to the golf course. Residents at the bottom of the hill will know by speaking with Pat the Inspector or the Superintendent which hill will be their access point. This project will continue through November 2018. The Junction Chamber Project is about 70% complete. This project connects the ESRS to the plant itself. Currently, bypass pumps are keeping the sewage flowing through the new junction chamber area until the chamber can be completed. Crestview North residents are enduring the sounds of the big pumps…I apologize for the inconvenience. Pat the Inspector will work with the contractor and hopefully come up with a remedy. Fabrizi has this project also, so when big equipment or big pipe work needed to take place, the Whitman Crew headed over to the Chamber Project which was why there were some days you didn’t see them on Whitman |
Wastewater Plant Projects:Not only are projects happening in the roads, but at the treatment plant as well.
The plant is getting a new Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection System. This is exciting as it will replace the old chlorine disinfection system. The newer technology is a much safer solution for disinfection. The Final Settling Tank (FST) Rehab Project is another project that is set to take place at the plant. Nerone is the contractor for both the FST Project and the UV Project so timing of the projects works to their advantage and ours. The lead-time for the materials and equipment for the FST Project is extensive, so this work will likely be performed in the winter…brrrr 25°, feels like 15° with wind chill. (Current Temp 90°, feels like 96°. I just threw that in there for comparison).
