Original Notice (June 17, 2025)

The City of Fort Lauderdale is working with Insituform Technologies to inspect sewer mains and laterals in the Dolphin Isles, Central Beach and Lauderdale Beach neighborhoods within the following general boundaries:

• West: Intracoastal Waterway
• East: A1A / N. Ocean Boulevard
• North: NE 29th Street
• South: NE 19th Street

Crews are recording video within the pipes to document their condition. The information gained through this assessment will be used to schedule future maintenance and rehabilitation activities with the goal of increasing the reliability of the sewer system.

This work began in May 2025, and is expected to be completed in mid-July 2025. Work on neighborhood streets is scheduled on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Please note that this schedule may change based on inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Traffic Impacts

• Temporary lane closures are expected along neighborhood streets and along A1A / N. Ocean Boulevard during work hours as crews access the sewer pipes through manholes within the road.
• Traffic control personnel will direct traffic as needed. Access to driveways will be maintained.
• Please follow posted signs and drive with caution in the area.

Recommendations for Neighbors

Neighbors will be notified one week in advance of inspections on their particular street. The following actions will help reduce the likelihood of any impacts related to this work:

• Keep toilet lids closed and pour 1 gallon of water down all floor drains or any rarely used sinks, tubs and toilets to ensure that a water barrier is maintained in the traps.
• Remove your cleanout cap in the morning and replace it at night to reduce the possibility of water pushing out of toilets and onto the bathroom floor from any back pressure that may occur in the sewer main.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this important work.
