To serve its reclaimed water customers more efficiently, Volt Telecom Group, Inc. a contractor for the Tampa Water Department, will be flushing Tampa's reclaimed water system as part of a preventive maintenance project designed to enhance the overall operation of Tampa's reclaimed water system and support the City’s focus on improving neighborhoods.
 

Transmission Main Flushing:

Flushing of the transmission main was completed on Oct. 25, 2009.    

Distribution Line Flushing:

Between November and mid-March each of the five reclaimed water distribution system zones are also scheduled to be flushed, resulting in short periods of service interruptions. Customers in each zone will be sent letters from the Tampa Water Department approximately two weeks prior to the flushing activity scheduled to effect their service.

During these flushing activities, local traffic may have to be diverted in accordance with the Department of Transportation or Tampa’s Traffic Engineering Division’s approved detour routing. We strive to make the detour period as short as possible. Also, regardless of safety procedures used, construction sites are very dangerous. Please keep children and pets away from all construction and flushing sites at all times.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning the construction of this project, please contact the Tampa Water Department's Reclaimed Water and Continuous Improvement Manager, Sandra Anderson at (813) 323-5303 or the Reclaimed Water Section online through the Customer Service Center.
