CWSRF Program Executes Loan Agreements with the Cities of Springfield and Hallandale Beach

Florida's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) executed two loan agreements with city of Springfield and city of Hallandale Beach.

The city of Springfield received a design loan agreement for $919,000 to fund the preparation of the plans and specifications and bid documents as well as costs associated with obtaining any necessary permits. The project is for the rehabilitation of portions of the existing collection system and the construction of new wastewater collection and transmission facilities. The primary purpose of the proposed project is to reduce the amount of infiltration and inflow (I/I) entering into the city’s collection system.

The city of Hallandale Beach received a planning loan agreement for $550,000 to conduct a sanitary sewer evaluation study. This study will identify the various sources of I/I in the collection system and will be used to rehabilitate or replace equipment in areas where the I/I is excessive. Treatment for Hallandale’s wastewater is provided by the city of Hollywood. Reducing the amount of I/I will reduce the flow to Hollywood, thereby reducing Hallandale Beach’s costs.
