Public Meeting To Discuss Replacement Of Memorial Highway Sewage Line

A construction project to replace a sewage pipeline along Memorial Highway may disrupt traffic for a period of time in the coming months.

To inform the public about the project Hillsborough County Public Utilities Department has scheduled a public meeting on March 1.

The $3 million sewage pipe project will add 8,000 feet of 16-inch, PVC sewage force main along Memorial, from just west of  Kelly Road near Hillsborough Avenue. The project will reroute an existing pipeline on the north side of the Bay Crest Park neighborhood, and replace pumps in three sewage lift stations.

Construction is anticipated to begin this fall and last nine months.  

The new pipeline will replace a 14-inch iron pipeline that was constructed in the 1970s. The project is being funded through the Water Enterprise’s Capital Improvement Program.

Public Utilities staff and design firm representatives will be at the meeting to talk about the project, what to expect during construction, and to answer questions.
