Tampa Bay Water has received the green light from Florida Fish and Wildlife to request a new alignment through the conservation easement owned by Fishhawk Ranch Community Development District (CDD) and Hillsborough County. The new preferred route alignment, shown in yellow on the map below, will follow an unpaved trail within a construction easement to cross the conservation easement south to Boyette Road. If approved, the new alignment will reduce impacts to trees, since it takes advantage of a previously altered pathway. This route is also shorter, so it will have lower construction costs and reduce impacts to residents.
Tampa Bay Water will request approval of this route modification from the Fishhawk Ranch CDD and Hillsborough County Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP) later this year. Tampa Bay Water will present at ELAPP’s general committee meeting, which begins at 4 p.m. on March 31, then request Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners approval later in 2025.
Tampa Bay Water thanks residents for their input in refining this portion of the pipeline route.
