At its Oct. 26, 2022, meeting, the City Commission authorized the City of Tallahassee’s Underground Utility and Public Infrastructure department to proceed with the extension of water and sewer utility infrastructure into the unserved areas of the Southside Triangle. The Southside Triangle is bounded by Woodville Highway, Crawfordville Highway and Capital Circle Southeast.

The purpose of this project is to provide sewer service to approximately 203 properties and water service to 156 properties. This investment will provide protection for our natural water resources, provide needed infrastructure, improve quality of life for Southside residents and provide a catalyst for additional development within the southern limits of the Urban Services Area.

Currently, the City is gathering information related to the extension of water and sewer utility infrastructure in the Southside Triangle. The City’s land surveyor and his team will begin work the week of November 28, 2022, to collect data such as right-of-way and utility easement boundaries; location, size, and depth of existing utilities; location of physical improvements within the right-of-way/easements; and topographic information. Survey work is anticipated to take approximately three months. At this time, it is not anticipated that the surveyor will need to obtain information from residents related to the field data collection. The surveyor’s vehicles will be clearly marked with the City of Tallahassee, and personnel are always required to carry proper identification.

Prior to the surveyor beginning work, residents in the area may notice paint markings and/or flags depicting the location of buried utilities and other infrastructure. Please do not remove the flags or paint markings, which are used by the surveyor to collect and evaluate information needed for the design of the project.

Construction activity will not be occurring at this time. Residents will be notified prior to the City commencing any construction activity associated with this project.

For questions or comments regarding these planned activities, please contact Charles Hargraves, PE, with the City’s UUPI department, at (850) 891-6135 or Charles.Hargraves@Talgov.com.
