The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) serves as the water, wastewater, and solid waste utility for Escambia County, Florida, and parts of Santa Rosa County. One of the key infrastructure challenges for ECUA is aging infrastructure, particularly in its wastewater treatment plants and collection system. The authority is also working to improve the resilience of its facilities to withstand extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and flooding. Additionally, ECUA is focused on developing sustainable practices to reduce its carbon footprint and improve the efficiency of its operations.

Project Start Year
Project Spend Total
Englewood Sewer Expansion
“Large portions of the Englewood CRA area do not currently have an ECUA gravity sewer system constructed. A
project is required for the construction of new gravity sewer mains to accommodate the residents of Englewood
currently without ECUA sewer service. The majority of the new construction / service area proposed is within the
following boundaries: “”E”” St to the east, “”W”” St to the west, Avery St to the south & Yonge St to the north. Some
existing sewer is in the region – new sewer will be connected to existing sewer where feasible. A new lift station
may be needed to fully serve customers in the area defined above. This project is planned to be constructed with
funding participation from Escambia County”
Ensley Sewer Expansion
“The area of Ensley does not currently have an ECUA gravity sewer system constructed in the entire area. Many
residents are currently on septic tanks for sewer needs. Work area limits proposed is south of Nine Mile Rd, east
of I-110, north of I-10 & Olive Rd, and west of Jernigan Rd. The project will consist of the construction of new
gravity sewer mains to accommodate the residents of Ensley currently without ECUA sewer service. This work
has been planned previously to be constructed in 6 segments. The first phase is currently in design – called the
Airway Dr / Stockdale Ave Sewer Expansion. Cost of the remaining areas to be approx. $9M.
$3M: Camden Rd Sewer Expansion Area
$3M: Ensley St Phases 1 & 2
$3M: Ackerman Dr / Tower Dr Sewer Expansion Area”
Holsberry Rd. Sewer Expansion
“Areas along Holsberry Rd do not currently have a sewer collection / transmission system (ECUA owned &
operated), thus many residents utilize septic tanks. The project will consist of the construction of approx. 13,000
LF of new gravity sewer mains and a new lift station, on Escambia County property adjacent to a stormwater pond,
to accommodate the residents of Holsberry Rd. currently without ECUA sewer service.
Work is proposed on the following streets below with an approx. footage of pipe to replace:
Holsberry Rd – 3,200 LF
E Nine Mile Rd & Nims Ln – 3,000 LF
Strandview Dr – 1,500 LF
Craft St – 1,400 LF
Sprague Dr – 2,100 LF
Tulsa Dr – 1,600 LF”
Montclair FM Upgrade Main ST
“The 16″” D I P force main coming from Montclair L/S # 9 has developed pin-hole leaks on Massachusetts Avenue.
Part of this main has been replaced in the past on Herman St. from Pace Blvd. to “”L”” St. Even though flow from the
lift station can be diverted to the Bayou Marcus WRF via the Montclair L/S diversion project (CS141W), for the
foreseeable future this line should be maintained as the primary line. Additional information relative to the existing
condition of this force main was gathered as part of the Force Main Evaluation. Based on that information, the
force main replacement can be pushed out several years.”
Sherwood Force MN Rehabilitation
“The existing 6″” c.a. force main leaving lift station #124 in Sherwood Subdivision has deteriorated to the extent that
it is difficult to repair. The top half of the force main is very soft. If action is not taken soon, it may result in a
major sewer spill on Fairfield Drive. The amount of pipe to be replaced would be approximately 2,100 L.F. The
discharge force main is connected to existing gravity sewer on the south side of Fairfield Drive, thus one major
roadway crossing would be required. Removal of the c.a. pipe may be mandatory”
Citylitics offers access to over 30,000 unique locations across North America through our Capital Projects Dashboard (CPD).
Capital Projects Dashboard (CPD) provides a comprehensive market view of all planned infrastructure spend in one single view with powerful filters such as: population, project value, fiscal year, project status, project description, geography, and more. The dashboard will help identify opportunity hot spots, create data-driven forecasts you can be confident in with bottom-up data for the next 5 years of planned infrastructure spend, and uncover true market needs.
Schedule a DemoWhen a city, municipality or state issues a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), it can be overwhelming and daunting, but there are a few key things you need to investigate. Let’s start with the definition of CIP – A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains all the individual capital projects, equipment purchases, and major studies for a local government; in conjunction with construction and completion schedules, and in consort with financing plans. The plan provides a working blueprint for sustaining and improving the community’s infrastructures. It coordinates strategic planning, financial capacity, and physical development. A CIP stands at the epicenter of a government’s Planning, Public Works, and Finance departments. When a CIP is issued, it typically includes the following information:
Now, for business development, while the capital plan is interesting, the capital program is for capital expenditures that extends five to ten years beyond the capital budget. Knowing the difference is important so you can influence upcoming program versus just responding to an RFP. If reading the CIP makes your head explode, or you want to save time, Request a Demo of Citylitics CIP dashboard with over 20,000 CIPs from USA and Canada. Citylitics has 20,000 plus available CIPs, how can we help you? What states, cities or counties are you looking to improvement your business development, we can assist you in influencing an upcoming RFP versus simply responding to an RFP. Citylitics Capital Projects Dataset is a comprehensive resource for businesses and organizations looking to track and analyze planned infrastructure spend in their area. The dataset offers a range of features and benefits, including:
With Citylitics Capital Projects Dataset, businesses can gain a deeper understanding of planned infrastructure spend in their area, which can help them to identify new opportunities and make more informed decisions.
