Phase 2 of the Pensacola Beach Reclaimed Water Main Project

Construction began September 22, 2025, and will continue through March 2026, enhancing water sustainability and conservation in the area. Work will include installing new reclaimed and potable water mains along Via de Luna and Pensacola Beach Road, with phased lane and sidewalk closures to ensure safety.
