North Airport Infrastructure Assessment

Existing Public Water and Wastewater Large Transmission Lines Water The North Airport Redevelopment Area has several water transmission lines within its boundaries including the following: • Bejamin Road - 16” ductile iron water main (City of Tampa, installed 1979) • Henderson Road - 16” ductile iron water main (Hillsborough County, installed 1982)

• Sligh Avenue - 24” ductile iron water main (City of Tampa, installed 1989) • Waters Avenue - 20” ductile iron water main (City of Tampa, installed 1999)

Ductile iron pipe has a service life expectancy of 50 or more years, these mains should still be in fair condition and should have adequate remaining useful life. There is one interconnect between the Hillsborough County and City of Tampa water systems within the area boundary providing an emergency backup for the potable water system in the event of an emergency. Figure 16 is a map of the existing water distribution infrastructure in this area. Wastewater The redevelopment area has several Hillsborough County owned wastewater force mains within its boundaries including: • Waters Avenue - 24” ductile iron force main (Hillsborough County, installed 1989) • Hoover Boulevard/Anderson Road - 6” PVC force main (Hillsborough County, installed 1998) • Linebaugh Avenue - 8” PVC force main (Hillsborough County, installed 2000) Ductile iron and PVC pipes have an expected useful life of 50 to 60 years and are expected to be in fair condition with adequate remaining useful life. There is a small amount of gravity main and a total of 9 lift stations within the study boundary that make up the wastewater collection system. Figure 17 is a map of the existing wastewater infrastructure in this area. Septic Tanks According to the Florida Water Management Inventory – Hillsborough County Wastewater Map, there is a mix of septic and sewer systems in the area. Developments along Benjamin Road, Pioneer Park Blvd, Crenshaw Street, and Anderson Road are supported by a total of 101 septic systems. Locations of the septic tanks are shown on the wastewater infrastructure map ( Figure 17 ). In the 2018 Hazen and Sawyer Hillsborough County Septic Tank Conversion-Neighborhood Prioritization Report, the North Airport redevelopment study area falls within Town N’ Country group B of potential septic to sewer conversion. In this report, parcels that already had wastewater service were removed from the study and only parcels that were single family residential were labeled as a priority for conversion. The County has an estimated a total of $39.4M for septic to sewer improvements in Town ‘N Country group B but does not include the North Airport Redevelopment Area at this time. Based on this assessment of the wastewater infrastructure, one location with existing single family residential and septic systems along Benjamin Road may be a candidate for septic to sewer conversion.
