| Project Description: |
| Includes the administration, engineering and construction of improvements to the wasterwater system for the City of Brooksville. Aged (50 to 80 years old) portions of the existing citywide sewer system have deteriorated to the point that seasonal inflow causes sewage backup into homes and businesses, also making it difficult to manage flow fluctuations at the wastewater treatment facility. Failure to correct this inflow may result in the City having to prematurely expand the wastewater treatment facility to handle seasonal peaks caused by the inflow. The replacement and repair of the aged collection system will protect both the environment and public health by reducing backup and spillage of raw untreated sewage, as well as ensuring that the wastewater treatment facility can adequately treat the wastewater prior to discharge. Planning provided for in previous grants is now complete and design of the first phase of construction is nearing completion. Continuation funding through this request is critical to proceeding with the necessary improvements. |
