The City of Saint Petersburg Engineering and Capital Improvement Department is working with contractors McKim & Creed to replace aged potable water lines. Diana Smillova, City, and David Wehner, Sr. Project Manager, McKim & Creed, gave a preview of the work during the October GPPCA General Membership Meeting at Lave Vista Center.

Beginning in February 2020, water lines along 31st St S at 54th Ave S and south to Pinellas Point Drive will be replaced. This work is expected to last up to nine months (Nov 2020).

Traffic patterns along this stretch of roadway will be altered to allow for the work to proceed. As this is a heavily traveled area, with multiple business entry/exit points at the intersection, the GPPCA will keep residents informed of exactly what traffic disruptions to expect as the project start date draws nearer.
