Philippe Park Wastewater Collection System Improvements (PID 000341G)

Work in this project includes the installation of a new wastewater collection system consisting of approximately 2,800 linear feet of force main and four wastewater pumping stations in Philippe Park that will replace four onsite septic collection systems. The new system will connect to the City of Safety Harbor's wastewater collection system through the existing Lift Station No. 614. In addition, approximately 50 linear feet of the Lift Station No. 614 force main will be replaced at both the Lift Station and the discharge manhole

The County requested a project to review the existing aging sanitary sewer infrastructure within Philippe Park. The current septic system is at risk of failure which requires significant additional regular maintenance. As stewards of public resources, rehabilitation and transformation of the existing sanitary system aims to eliminate ongoing risk of wastewater contamination into the groundwater system as well as the environmentally sensitive portion of upper Old Tampa Bay. Efforts undertaken in this project will align with the County’s desire to identify and address existing infrastructure as potential opportunities for environmental and fiscal stewardship by increasing infrastructure resiliency and protect or improve environmentally sensitive areas.
