| Project Description: |
| The City will replace three 30-year old stormwater pump stations that transfer water from the City's closed canal system to the SFWMD's C-14 Canal. These pumps provide flood control to 35,000 residents and thousands of businesses located in the 7 square mile basin area, as well as several neighboring communities and University Drive (State Road 817), which is a major North-South thoroughfare in Western Broward County. The basin is bounded on the west by the Everglades Conservation area 2a. The C-14 Canal discharges into the Atlantic Ocean during normal operations, but can backflow into the Everglades Conservation Area during drought periods such as those experienced in the last two years.
The basin is in a 100-year flood plain, AH zone, per the Federal Emergency Management Agency's most recent surveys. The existing pumps are performing well below capacity, are obsolete, and fail frequently. The degraded pump capacity has resulted in minor to severe roadway flooding and has threatened private residences and businesses throughout the basin. The flooding causes pollutants and solids to wash into the canal system and also increases the possibility of exfiltration and infiltration in the wastewater system. The replacement pump stations will incorporate new design features to alleviate flooding and help prevent pollutants from entering the C-14 canal. |
