Tampa’s 1955 Wastewater Station Gets a $17M Lifeline for the Future
Tampa has completed a major overhaul of one of its oldest news facilities. The Bayshore Wastewater Pumping Station, built in 1955, received $17 million in improvements. Officials say the work will enhance reliability and sustainability for decades to come.
The project centered on modernizing the station’s key systems. Two new pumps were installed, increasing the total to four. This ensures the station can keep running even if one or two pumps fail.
Electrical equipment was also relocated above ground for better protection. It now sits in a storm-resistant building, reducing flood risks. A new standby generator was added as well, capable of powering the station for up to three days during outages.
The upgrades were funded through Tampa’s $2.9 billion PIPES program, which targets ageing infrastructure. Currently, 30 other wastewater pumping stations across the city are undergoing similar improvements. The goal is to prevent failures and extend the lifespan of critical systems.
The completed work marks a significant step in Tampa’s long-term news plan. With stronger backup systems and modernized equipment, the Bayshore station is now better prepared for extreme weather and operational demands. The city continues to invest in similar projects as part of its broader sustainability efforts.
