Project Overview

The City of Tampa is working hard to build, maintain, and deliver high quality, reliable water service to its customers for drinking, cooking, cleaning, sanitation, irrigation, recreation, business, and fire protection. The City Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies and delivers projects throughout Tampa where water infrastructure, treatment, and distribution system improvements are needed. This project is one of many City projects funded by the PIPES initiative.

As part of the City CIP, the Palma Ceia Water Main Improvements Project will improve water service reliability by replacing aging water mains and reducing service interruptions due to breaks and leakage. The new water mains will also add needed capacity for growth and increase water pressure for homes, businesses and fire suppression throughout the Palma Ceia area. The project will replace approximately 31,700 linear feet of existing water main pipes with new and larger diameter pipes ranging from two (2) to twelve (12) inches and includes the transfer of existing services, temporary water service, roadway resurfacing and restoration, sidewalk and driveway restoration, maintenance of traffic, and sodding.

Project Location

The Palma Ceia Water Main Improvements Project – Phase III will replace watermain pipes in the city right-of-way located on streets throughout neighborhoods in Palma Ceia – including the Palma Ceia Neighborhood Association, New Suburb Beautiful, and Golfview. The project area also includes a portion of the Palma Ceia commercial district, which connects local businesses to adjacent and nearby neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

$5.89 Million has been budgeted for this project.

The project includes the replacement of aged and/or undersized pipes with new water main to meet current demands in your area. This project will include transferring customers’ existing meters to the new water main and installing new and/or additional fire hydrants to increase local fire protection capability.

Interruption of water service may occur but is expected to be minimal and of short duration as services are transferred to the newly installed pipes. Property owners will be notified in advance of all scheduled interruptions of service through door-hanger notifications or other means of communication. Information will also be posted on the project website (www.palmaceiawatermainph3.com).

To avoid/minimize impacts to mail delivery and garbage/recycling pick-up, the contractor will work to coordinate with service providers concerning construction activities. Any service interruptions should be reported by calling the project hotline at 813-557-3979 or emailing Info@palmaceiawatermainph3.com.
