BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
This project entails construction of a vacuum assisted gravity sewer system and associated pumping facility to provide sanitary sewer service to approximately 631 single family residential parcels of land in the Coral Gardens area of Martin County, Florida. The project includes construction of the underground collection system along the road rights of way with valve pits to service the units and construction of a vacuum sewage collection and pumping facility to be located on a Martin County owned parcel of land on Willoughby Blvd.
The project will enhance water quality in the St. Lucie Estuary by eliminating nutrient loading from septic systems at the rate of 3.5 lbs total nitrogen and .89 lbs total phosphorous per month per septic tank as indicated by a Florida Department of Environmental Protection study.
