Project Description:
The Lakewood Estates Piping project is a stormwater management project identified in the City of Dunedin's Master Drainage Plan
to alleviate flooding in the east-central part of the City's Spring Branch Watershed. That part of the City is among the older
developed parts of the City which has limited capacity for either treatment or drainage needs. In implementing its Master Drainage
Plan, and as indicated in the City's Stormwater Utility CIP, the City is programmed to construct the Lakewood Estates Piping project
in FY2014. The City CIP identifes this as Project Number 531401.
As indicated in the project image, the primary project components, comprising increased size storm sewers and stormwater
treatment units, would be constructed in and around Pinewood Drive. Water quality improvements would be achieved in part with
the construction of either continuous deflective separation (CDS) units. In addition, where soil and groundwater conditions permit,
perforated pipe will be constructed to allow collected stormwaters to recharge the local groundwater system and to minimize the
discharge of stormwater and pollutant materials into Spring Branch, Stevenson Creek and, eventually, St Joseph Sound. The
proposed use of CDS units and of perforated pipe for stormwater treatment and reduced rates of discharge is consistent with the
methods recently completed, with SWFWMD grant funding, in the Orangewood Outfall project and planned for the President Street
Outfall project. With grant funding, the City would proceed on the basis of in-house design methods similar to those used for other
projects. This will allow all project construction to be completed in FY 2014.
Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection
ordinances.
The City of Dunedin is continuing to aggressively improve its stromwater management facilities with emphasis on reducing the
volume, while improving the quality, of stormwater discharged into area waterways. The City Code of Ordinances established
standards, regulations and procedures in the development, management and enforcement of water conservation and flood
protection. The City remains in compliance with the requirements set forth in the NPDES MS4 operating permit. In addition, the City
maintains an active cooperation with Pinellas County and adjacent communities in monitoring water quality and activities which
may influence area waterways.
