It has been two years since we began building the Utility Capital Improvement Projects (UCAP), a collection of water, wastewater and stormwater improvements. UCAP represents a significant investment in Tampa neighborhoods, the dividends of which are being realized across the City.

Since 2008, UCAP has:

• Replaced the faulty 12th Street Wastewater Pipeline,
• Saved drinking water by replacing leaking, deteriorated drinking water pipelines,
• Installed fire hydrants in a community where none existed previously, and
• Replaced nearly 7 miles of aging water distribution lines.

The completed projects and those currently under construction improve water pressure, fire protection, water, wastewater, and stormwater service throughout the City while ensuring the long-term reliability of Tampa’s valuable underground assets.

The City extends its gratitude to Tampa’s residents and businesses for their patience and understanding during UCAP construction. We will continue to work closely with neighborhoods to keep you informed and involved as we continue the UCAP investment. I invite you to learn more about the UCAP program by navigating this website. If you have questions or would like to share comments about this program, please use the Contact Us feature.

While the economy remains uncertain, our city remains committed to progress and investments in our future that will benefit generations to come. The UCAP program is a good example of this commitment.

Sincerely,

Pam Iorio
