Need Summary Explanation/ Background:
For several years, we have been exploring the possibility of acquiring the property adjacent to our Water Treatment Plant, located at 2001 NW 49th Avenue. This property has been used with the owner’s consent to support water facility services. Currently, the property is being used to store propane gas above-ground and this poses a potential risk to our plant operations in the event of an accident.
The property is located in a strategic location that will allow us to expand our water treatment capacity and meet the growing demand for water in our community. This expansion will help us ensure that our water supply remains reliable and safe for our residents. Florida Public Utilities has informed us that they have secured a replacement property within the city, which means that this property will no longer be needed for their services.
Cost Summary/ Fiscal Impact:
