Tampa Bay Water knows that residents and businesses are eager to learn the start dates of construction in their areas, but the construction schedule remains in flux until we receive an important permit.
The project team is still awaiting approval of the Hillsborough County right-of-way permit. Until that permit is in hand, we are unable to start construction in other locations or update the project schedule.
If the permit is received soon, crews are standing by to:
- Mobilize equipment at Limona Road at the CSX railroad to begin working on the microtunnel under the railroad (tentatively scheduled to begin Jan. 22). This work was moved up so crews can install the pipeline in front of Brandon High School over the summer months.
- Mobilize construction equipment in an easement at the Myron and Helen Gibbons Nature Preserve on the north side of Boyette Road, just west of Bell Creek (tentatively scheduled for the week of Jan. 19).
Work at Woodberry Road and Lakewood Drive will occur after the microtunnel at Limona Road and the railroad is completed.
We will update the website (www.SouthHillsboroughPipeline.com) and issue email alerts as soon as more schedule information is available.
