East Side Water Distribution System Expansion

This project consists of the design, permitting and construction of the Expansion of the East Side Water Distribution System. Currently, the City’s distribution system is divided into two sections: Tamarac Utility West (TUW) extending from the western limits of the City to State Road 7 and Tamarac Utility East (TUE), extending from NW 31st Avenue to Prospect Road and NW 15th Avenue. The water servicing TUW is supplied by the City of Tamarac, while water servicing the TUE is supplied by the City of Fort Lauderdale to the City of Tamarac as a bulk purchasing customer. To better manage the quality and cost of distributing water to TUE, the City intends to connect the eastern portion of the City’s existing distribution system to the City’s western water supply and distribution system. The intent of this project is to give the City full control of the potable water being provided to our residents and businesses throughout the City.
