Water Main Testing Notice

Testing of the newly installed water main is ongoing and requires small taps of running water. Please do not touch, turn off or tamper with these taps. These tests are required by the Florida Department of Health and must run their full course without interruption. If stopped, the contractors (Amici Engineering Contractors and Metro Equipment Service. Inc) would need to restart the process, which would cause delays. This testing is an important step to ensure the water system is safe and ready for use. Please refer to the maps below for location details.  

Projects Overview

The FFPs are critical infrastructure upgrade projects, designed to enhance the reliability and safety of the local water distribution system. The projects include upsizing existing water mains and installing new water connections to address areas that currently do not meet required fire flow standards.

Benefits

• Improved fire protection and public safety
• Increased system capacity and reliability
• Upgraded water mains and connections (some of the existing lines have been in place since the 1940s and 1950s)
• Enhanced infrastructure to support future growth

Please be advised that temporary parking restrictions will be in effect due to ongoing infrastructure improvement work. Parking will be prohibited Monday through Sunday within the designated work zones. Parking spaces will be restored and reopened as construction activities are completed in each area. 

FFP1: Please refer to the map of 10 St. (above) for additional details.

FFP2: Please refer to the maps (below) of 14 Place and 20 St. for additional details.
