The City of Newberry planned a water main extension in southwest Newberry to loop and backfeed a large portion of the City’s service area. The route and pipe sizes generally consists of 2,100 LF of 12” Watermain aligned with SW 15th Ave between SW 260th ST and west to SW 266th St, 4,100 LF of 12” watermain aligned along the eastern wide of CR337 / SW 266th St north to Newberry Rd and south to SW 18th Road, and 500 LF of 8” Watermain aligned with SW 264th ST from the proposed 12” along the SW 15th Ave alignment north to the current termination of SW 264th ST. To facilitate the project, Gmuer Engineering designed the utility construction plans, permited the water and wastewater improvements with FDEP, permitted the ROW Use and potential water main crossing of CR337 with Alachua County and SR26 with FDOT, supplied utility construction plans for construction, reviewed record drawings and as-built surveys, and certified testing results witnessed by the City.
Lake City US90 Sweetbreeze Drive Utility Extensions
The Lake City Distribution/Collections Department needed to extend a force main and water main to better serve the Cypress Lake Business Park. The improvements generally consisted of:
- 8” Force Main from an existing lift station at the rear of the park, to US 90, a directional bore under US90, and northeast to Turner Ave, approximately 3,600 linear ft.
- 12” Water main from US90 northeast to Turner Ave, approximately 900 linear ft.
To facilitate the project, Gmuer Engineering completed a sUAS (Drone) aerial of the project limits, developed a schematic utility plan, permitted the right-of-way use permit with FDOT and Columbia County, permitted the water improvements with FDEP, supplied the schematic utility plans for construction, and certified testing with FDEP.
Lake City Utilities - Columbia High School
Lake City Distribution/Collections Department needed to extend water mains serving Columbia High School to loop and provide additional water and fire flow. The improvements consist of an internal 8 inch extension of from the stadium south approx 1,800 ft, an 8 inch water main extended from the B&B Store along 252 with a directional bore and onto the school property onto the existing loop. The system also proposes fire hydrants. To facilitate the project, Gmuer Engineering completed a sUAS (Drone) aerial of the project limits to save survey costs, utiltized historical SRWMD Permit Drawings to save on soft dig costs to the City, permitted the water improvements with FDEP, supply the schematic utility plans for construction, review record drawings and as-builts.
Northside Shopping Center
Maintenance Plan to Find and Restore an abandoned Sewer Service for a New Retail Tenant. We employed 3D Photogrammetry to capture field markings and plumber depth finder in order to prepare a full color schematic plan for construction.
Regency Oaks Fire Main
The project proposed to upgrade the existing fire main associated with the Regency Oaks Apartment complex. The complex was originally constructed in 1971 and was served by a single water main connection along 34th Street with no directly available connection along Archer Rd. In the intervening 45+ years, 34th St was widened, the water main along 34th Street was upgraded, the fire flows were increased, which led to upgrading the fire main in this existing apartment complex. With the installation of 1,000 ft of fire main, new fire rated meter and backflow preventer, removal of bottlenecks, and interconnections with the existing water distribution system, the replacement system provides substantially improved fire flows for increased safety.

Newberry RIVER Grant Utilities
The City of Newberry received a Grant from the SRWMD for the construction of 120 feet of 8" Water Main that includes a portion of directional bore under US 27 as well as the installation of 550 feet of 8" PVC Sewer Main with Manholes along with new sewer laterals to the 9 services that includes both private residenses and commercial businesses. Gmuer Engineering facilitated the design, defined the survey scope and clarified the route, revised the proposed design to provide greater fire coverage with a proposed fire hydrant, and delineation of a proposed public utility easement.
Newberry 12 inch Watermain Extension along SR26
The City of Newberry needed to extend of 12" water main from the intersection of Newberry Lane and NW 238th Terrace running east 10,600 Ft (2 Miles) along SR26 to the proposed Destiny Community Church site. Gmuer Engineering facilitated the design of the route, confirmed land rights requirements, planned for a future sewer route and easement rights, designed four 12" directional bores, permitted the system with FDEP and FDOT, and certified the system for operation upon completion of construction. The project now provides access to potable and fire protection for 2 miles of north and south frontage along SR 26.
