Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

Polk County is planning to accept ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Fox Branch Phase 1B potable water, wastewater, and reclaim water utility system improvements. This project involves the transfer of existing utility infrastructure. The Board of County Commissioners, Polk County, has approved this item. The work would involve the finalization of utility system connections and testing, followed by the formal transfer of the systems to county management. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors specializing in utility construction and maintenance, as well as suppliers of water and wastewater system components, to engage with the county before final operational plans are set. Early involvement can provide a competitive advantage as the county assumes responsibility for these systems.
