The City of Palatka is planning to extend deadlines for a potable water line replacement project in North Palatka. This project, funded by a Florida Department of Environmental Protection grant (LPA0602), was originally set to finish by June 30, 2026. However, the contracted work is now expected to be completed by July 1, 2027. The Department of Environmental Protection has proposed an amendment to extend all project deadlines to June 30, 2028. This extension will likely involve continued work on site preparation, underground utility work, and potentially road and paving restoration. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in this project should reach out to the City of Palatka early. Understanding the project scope and timeline before final bids and permits are set can provide a competitive advantage.
