DESCRIPTION
On September 4, 2020, the County was provided notice that Crooked Lake Park Sewerage Company intended to abandon the existing wastewater collection and treatment system serving utility customers in the Crooked Lake and College Park developments located south of Lake Wales. On March 25, 2021, the Circuit Court granted Polk County’s petition and appointed the County as the receiver of the wastewater system.
On February 1, 2022, CSA 18-060-03 was approved for Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc. to provide final design, permitting, bid phase and construction phase services in support of the replacement of the existing wastewater lift stations and the construction of a force main to connect the wastewater system to the City of Lake Wales existing wastewater collection system. These improvements are expected to be completed by May 19, 2025.
Once the new system is fully operational, an abandonment plan must be developed and submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for review and approval. The County has requested a scope of services for the Consultant to prepare a Wastewater Treatment Facility abandonment plan. Also included are additional permitting and construction phase services to close out the project
