Summary Explanation and Background:
LG018: provides $6,200,000 for Indian River Lagoon Countywide Sewer Connection Assistance, which will assist approximately 1000 property owners to connect to existing sewer infrastructure and decommission their conventional septic tanks. This project is estimated to prevent approximately 7,500 lbs. of nitrogen pollution from reaching the Indian River Lagoon each year.
LG021 provides $366,990 for the Skidmore Mobile Home Park Sewer Connection Project, which will be used toward designing, bidding, and constructing a new lift station, force main, and gravity main, and connecting approximately 28 properties to the City of Titusville’s central sewer system. After successful connection to sewer, approximately 17 septic tanks will be decommissioned and future wastewater pollution from these septic tanks to the Indian River Lagoon will be eliminated. This project is estimated to reduce nutrient loading to the IRL by 128 pounds of total nitrogen per year.
LG027 provides $9,288,516 for the North Merritt Island Zone E Septic-to-Sewer Project, which will convert approximately 223 residential properties and 1 park from septic to central sewer. The estimated total nitrogen reduction is expected to be approximately 3,287 pounds per year.
LG028 provides $2,254,221 for the Sharpes Zone B Septic-to-Sewer Project, which will convert approximately 146 residential properties, located in the William’s Point Estates subdivision, from septic systems to central sewer. The estimated total nitrogen reduction is expected to be approximately 2,692 pounds per year.
L0155 provides $1,764,078 for the Indialantic Stormwater Drainage Improvements-Phase 2 Project for upgrades to the drainage system along Riverside Drive, including upgrades to the existing trunkline with an extension toward Coral Way. The Phase 2 project also includes relocating and de-conflicting gravity and force main sewer utilities.
