Palmetto and Live Oak Drainage Improvements

The East Palmetto Avenue and Live Oak Drainage Improvements project is located in District 2. The project area is inside a historic subdivision with little to no existing stormwater infrastructure. This area has experienced repeated flooding and has hazardous ditches. The construction is area along East Winthrop Avenue and East Palmetto Avenue between South 2nd Street and Live Oak Avenue. Construction includes installation of a collection and conveyance stormwater system with a filtration device and grading of existing ditches located in the right-of-way (ROW).   Drainage improvements include the addition of a stormwater drainage system that will be located in the East Winthrop Avenue and East Palmetto Avenue ROW. The stormwater system will tie into existing infrastructure in two locations via an existing drainage manhole to alongside East Winthrop Avenue and a proposed doghouse manhole in the East Palmetto Avenue ROW. Treatment will be provided through a filtration device that will be installed along the existing 42” diameter storm pipe located in the county easement adjacent to East Palmetto Avenue.
