Hillsborough Boulevard Water Main Project

Project Description

This project will install an 8-inch water main along Hillsborough Boulevard from Yorkshire St. to US 41. The water main will be installed parallel to the Peace River Manasota Water Authority’s 42-inch Phase 2B Pipeline.

The Peace River Manasota Water Authority’s Regional Integrated Loop Phase 2B Pipeline is a 42-inch steel potable water transmission main that will start at the Authority's existing 42-inch Regional Interconnect. The main will be installed along Hillsborough Blvd. to Chancellor Blvd. to Campbell St., then under the Myakka River to connect to the Gulf Coast Booster Station. 

This segment of the regional integrated loop system will boost regional resiliency, bidirectional water transfer capability and lays the groundwork for the southern regional loop with future pipeline projects.

Crews have installed the 42-inch water main on Hillsborough Boulevard from Serris Drive to Dahlgren Avenue and are continuing west toward Santa Fe Street. Restorations to right-of-ways are being performed behind the pipe installation locations.
