f. Reclaimed Water Distribution System Evaluation

6:00 pm City Commission Meeting · 2026-07-16 · agenda_item

The City of Cocoa Beach is planning improvements to its Reclaimed Water Distribution System. The total conceptual cost for these recommended improvements is approximately $31,638,000. The project involves upgrades to the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF), including clarifier rehabilitation, grit removal system replacement, generator replacement, and various equipment replacements and inspections. It also includes an I/I (Inflow and Infiltration) Abatement Study and Implementation, which involves manhole inspections, flow monitoring, smoke testing, and sanitary sewer lining. Additionally, the project includes collection system and reuse transmission improvements such as lift station upgrades and force main work. This agenda item is currently under review by the City Commission. The scope of work will likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, concrete and paving, mechanical and electrical systems, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to understand the project details before formal bidding and permitting processes begin, as this can provide a competitive advantage.
