Loan will help build new lift off Boca Ciega Drive

By Times Staff Writer
Published August 21, 2005


The Florida Department of Environmental Protection recently awarded a $3.3-million low-interest loan to St. Pete Beach for a new master lift station at 8665 Boca Ciega Drive.

The loan, part of DEP's State Revolving Fund Program, is the latest installment in a $3.6-million project to construct a new lift station. Replacement of the existing station is needed to address structural deterioration, deficiencies in the design and to provide additional odor control.

Updating the equipment will also strengthen structural protection against wind and flooding. For more information on the State Revolving Fund Program, visit http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/wff/dwsrf/index.htm
