Resident asks county to act on 24/7 pump noise near Dam Road waterline work
Summary
A resident reported continuous, high‑decibel noise from dewatering pumps tied to large waterline construction near Dam Road and requested immediate county intervention, including sound attenuation or replacement pumps.
A Manatee County resident asked commissioners Sept. 4 to intervene on noise from large dewatering pumps used during construction of new waterlines east of FDAB near Dam Road and Lake Manatee.
Caller Mark Vanderie told the board he measured sound levels above 80 decibels at nearby homes and farms and said pumps run around the clock. He said he filed a 311 code complaint and urged the county to require sound‑attenuation enclosures or quieter pumps used elsewhere along the same project.
Commissioner response was procedural: staff asked the caller to provide location details by email so county code enforcement and the district commissioner can follow up, and county staff said staff would investigate the 311 report.
