Infrastructure Improvements Continue

Crews are still working on the City’s new Lift Station No. 11 force main line that will connect to the City of Fort Lauderdale’s wastewater system. As a result, a 500-foot northbound lane closure is in effect on NE 15 Avenue, in front of Colohatchee Park. In the coming week, NE 16 Avenue will be closed between NE 26th Street and NE 29th Drive. This section will be closed for approximately two weeks. Be prepared for modifications to closures and lane reductions as the project progresses. Access to Colohatchee Dog Park will remain open, however, the boat ramp is closed until further notice.

Sewer Lining Work Continues


Crews are continuing to install the next phase of new sanitary sewer lining in the blue area on the map. Work is expected to continue for the next four weeks.

Key Details:

  • A 24-hour property notice will be posted before lining each section.
  • The contractor for this project is Inliner Solutions.
  • Questions? Please refer to your door hanger notice or contact our utilities department at (954) 390-2190.
