| Project Description: |
| The city of Miami Beach is located in Miami-Dade County,Florida and has an area of approximately 7.1 square miles. The City is the third largest municipality in Miami-Dade County, with an estimated 2002 population of 87,933. The City's wastewater system provides collection and transmission service to the City's population. The City's wastewater is treated at the County's treatment plant. The wastewater is collected and transmitted through wastewater force mains and directed across Government Cut to Fisher Island and then South to Virginia Key Treatment Plant. The wastewater lines described above were built between 1926 and 1956, making them approximately between 50-80 years old. The useful life of these force mains is approximately 50 years. Therefore, they are either beyond or at the end of their useful life. Due to the deteriorated condition of these lines, there have been occasional wastewater line breaks resulting in leakages of raw sewage. This has caused contamination of the environment, as raw sewage has leaked into Biscayne Bay. In addition, because these mains are under pressure, the sewage leaks have surfaced, resulting in contamination of the surface ground also. |
