The City of Venice Utilities Department is pleased to announce the activation of the new Water Booster Pump Station located near Gene Green Road. This new booster station in Northeast Venice will result in measurable improvements in the level of service of the potable water system throughout the City. This infrastructure upgrade is part of the City’s long-term strategy to enhance water service reliability and support the growing water demands in Venice.

The new booster station has stabilized water pressure across the northern part of the city, and some customers may also notice a slight increase in pressure. Prior to activation, residents east of Interstate 75 experienced daytime pressures ranging from 42 to 46 psi. Since the new station came online, consistent readings between 48 and 51 psi have been recorded, with limited fluctuations throughout the day. The new booster station also provides enhanced fire protection by boosting the flow capacity of the fire hydrants during an emergency.

The new Water Booster Station is the primary component of a larger project that includes a 2 million-gallon finished water storage tank, an emergency operations building, and a fixed solar array to support sustainable energy use. Construction updates and technical details are available on the City’s dedicated project website: www.venicewaterboosterstation.com.
