Completing the water main loop along Indian River Blvd . will provide a <br /> redundant feed necessary to serve the County ' s Water Distribution System . Since Public Works is <br /> commencing with roadway work along the southern portion of 58 ' Avenue it is prudent to move for-ward <br /> with the project and complete the water main loop . <br /> The greatest foreseen difficulty beyond the actual construction is the permitting of the proposed water <br /> main through the City of Vero Beach Utilitv Service Area .
