Stormwater Management System

Hillsborough County’s Stormwater Program provides for the maintenance, rehabilitation, and construction of the public stormwater conveyance and storage systems to address:

• Safety – elimination of flooding on County roadways based on a 25 year storm event. These projects include the replacement of failed pipes and improved roadway drainage systems by cleaning/grading, adding pipes, and rerouting drainage.
• Asset Preservation – routine inspections, maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement of infrastructure; repair of structures, replacement of failing pipes, slip-lining and routine cleaning.
• Regulatory Compliance – response to Federal and State requirements and standards by maintenance and system improvements in surface water detention and retention, treatment, education/outreach, inspections and monitoring/reporting; includes programs such as Adopt-a-Pond, Adopt-a-Stream, outreach to schools and other organizations.

Our residents benefit by having reduced flooding of roadways and improved surface water quality. In addition to reduction of flooding, projects implemented through the County’s stormwater program directly contribute to improved water quality in fresh water wetlands and the improved water quality of Tampa Bay.

 

 

Harbor Bay CDD

The District currently encompasses approximately seven hundred sixty-four (764.637) acres of land located entirely within Hillsborough County, Florida. As a local unit of special-purpose government, the District provides an alternative means for planning, financing, constructing, operating and maintaining various public improvements and community facilities within its jurisdiction.

The District owns and operates the community areas of MiraBay including common areas, recreational facilities, public roadways, storm water management systems, street lighting, landscaping, public amenities and more.

The Storm Water Management system is probably our biggest responsibility, included are roadway drainage systems, underground pipes, retention ponds (this includes the lagoon), and more, and of course the Seawall, a revetment wall as required by the Development of Regional Impact #241-E.8. That the District was built out to!

The Seawall is owned and maintained by the District, it is located on District property as well as residents’ property in an easement area of each individual’s home, thus the wall is technically on private property in many areas. Thus, there is no “right of enjoyment of common property” b/c that right specifically says; it is subject to conditions (IE such as the seawall is located on private property). From actual recorded meetings: The CDD does not take a stance for or against the encroachment of the Seawall other than if someone were to change/harm the seawall or drainage system in anyway.

and BTW;  the HOA has ZERO authority over CDD property or assets.
