4) Presentation - City of Gulf Breeze Project Updates: Soundside Dr. B Septic to Sewer

Local RESTORE Council Meeting · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

The City of Gulf Breeze is presenting updates on two significant infrastructure projects. The first is the Soundside Drive Septic to Sewer Conversion Project, which involved connecting 83 residential homes to a centralized sewer system, eliminating septic tanks in an environmentally sensitive area. This project cost over $3.8 million and is now complete, though sewer hookup remains available for remaining homes. The second project is the Thomas E. Lambert Reclamation Facility Expansion, which is approximately 50% complete and expected to finish by late 2027 with a total cost of around $66 million. This expansion aims to increase reclaimed water availability to meet current demand. These projects involve extensive underground utility work, site preparation, and specialized wastewater treatment facility construction. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the scope and potential needs as these large-scale infrastructure projects progress through their planning and construction phases.
