Tampa Bay Water awards contract for reservoir repair, added storage

摘要

A $162 million contract has been approved by Tampa Bay Water's board of directors to renovate the C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir and increase the facility's storage by three billion gallons. The contract is with design-builder Kiewit Infrastructure South and of the $162 million, $156 million is allocated to the reservoir renovation and additional three billion gallons of storage. Approximately $6 million is reserved in an owner's allowance for unforeseen costs. Work on the reservoir renovation project will be done in phases. Tampa Bay Water will fund the $15 million needed for the first phase through existing bond proceeds, resulting in no rate impact to customers at this time.
