Summary:
Summary
The Gulf Beach Water Booster Station was constructed in 1969 and is due for complete rehabilitation as many of its components are nearing the end of their useful life. Improvements will include replacement of booster pumps, motors, new variable frequency drives, electrical systems, chemical feed system and generator power. The Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was completed as part of Phase 1. Recommendations in the PER will be carried forward through final design in Phase 2. The design will incorporate the mitigation of flood and storm surges and improved security for the overall resilience and safety of the facility.
Body
Background Information:
