PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Westside Canal Improvements project is located in Plant City on the south side of Ball Street near its intersection with Hunter Street. The project consists of constructing a diversion structure and installing 750 linear feet of 24” underground drainage piping from Warren Street along the east side of Hunter Street to control structures located within the expanded four-acre retention pond that is built with an aquatic littoral shelf to provide additional water quality treatment and removal of pollutants. An additional 350 linear feet of the canal will be enclosed into 38”x60” drainage pipes (Figure 5: Westside Canal – Project Map) and Hunter Street roadway restoration and new sodding will be provided for safety and aesthetic improvements that will be paid for with additional matching funds to the FDEP grant from Hillsborough County Community Development Block Grant.
