Oakland staff: Bridal Avenue sewer design nearing 90% and $3.3M in DEP grants secured
Summary
Town staff said Bridal Avenue septic‑to‑sewer design is nearly 90% complete and will allow about 45 residences to connect; the project has $3.3M from two Florida DEP grants. A Pollard Street sewer project has $1.5M in legislative funding and construction is planned for next year.
Town staff told the commission that the Bridal Avenue septic‑to‑sewer construction drawings are nearing 90% completion and, when built, will allow roughly 45 existing residences to connect to central sewer, supporting water‑quality goals for Lake Apopka. Staff said $3,300,000 for the Bridal Avenue project has been made possible by two grants administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
Officials also said a draft work plan was submitted to the state for the Pollard Street septic‑to‑sewer project, a $1,500,000 project funded by a legislative appropriation that will extend central sewer to portions of North Pollard, West Gully, West Henshin and Pleasantville Avenue. Construction for Pollard Street is planned to follow Bridal Avenue work; staff noted dirt road improvements and intersection work are proceeding as well.
