WHO: City of Lakeland Wastewater Division
WHAT: Emergency Sewer Repair
WHEN: Thursday, September 19, 2024 – Friday, September 20, 2024
WHERE: 140 Lake Morton Drive
WHY: Broken Sewer Pipe
The City of Lakeland Wastewater Division is working on a sanitary sewer emergency repair on the south side of Lake Morton at 140 Lake Morton Drive between South Boulevard and Orange Park Avenue. The impacted area of Lake Morton Drive is closed so crews can access the broken sewer pipe. Much of the sewer system in the Lake Morton area is older clay pipe. Detours with signage are in place directing vehicle traffic around the construction area. The rain-saturated ground is causing the project to last longer than anticipated. Repairs of the line break will be completed Friday morning, September 20, 2024. The impacted section of Lake Morton Drive will remain closed overnight. Homeowners on Lake Morton Drive have access to their property although some may have to use the established detours around the project.
