River Plantation Water Main Replacement Project
The River Plantation Water Main Replacement Project includes the replacement of existing potable water infrastructure in the River Plantation (aka, Wakulla River Club) development. The project site is located within Wakulla County off of Shadeville Road (CR 365). The project will replace approximately 12,000 linear feet of existing 6-inch diameter water main and associated valves, services, meters, fire hydrants and other appurtenances.
- What are the benefits of this project?
This project will replace aging utility infrastructure to reduce service interruptions due to maintenance and repair activities. This will allow the City to continue providing reliable, quality service for area businesses and residents. The project also enhances fire protection by upsizing the mains and adding additional hydrants.
