The City has historically disposed of treated effluent from its Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (“SRWWTP”) using a combination of reuse water, deep injection wells, and an outfall to the Atlantic Ocean. Florida Statutes established scheduled milestones whereby the City must eliminate the discharge of secondary effluent to the ocean, with limited exceptions for discharge of peak wet weather flows, by December 31, 2025.
On March 3, 2022, pursuant to Resolution No. R-2022-069, the City Commission authorized the appropriate City officials to execute of a contract with Cardinal Contractors, Inc. (“Cardinal”) for construction services related to the Pump Station for Deep Injection Wells No. 3 and No. 4 (DIW Pump Station) at the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (“SRWWTP”) in an amount up to $112,299,970.00. The DIW Pump Station is critically dependent on high-voltage power supplied by Florida Power & Light (FP&L).
On November 6, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No. R-2024-371, the City Commission authorized the appropriate City officials to execute a contract with Cardinal in an amount up to $2,615,010.00 for construction services to install a FP&L duct bank crossing Eco Golf from the intersection of Harding Street and N 14th Avenue to the pump station. On March 21 of 2025, FP&L proposed an Underground Distribution Facilities Installation Agreement to supply the necessary power to SRWWP, including installation of a duct bank along Harding Street, starting at 20th Avenue and extending to the intersection of Harding Street and N 14th Avenue.
