SUBJECT: Employee Recognition - Brooks Bridge Water Main Repair
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: Two
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners and the County
Administrator would like to publicly acknowledge the hard work and dedication of county
employees from Public Works, Public Safety and Water & Sewer that worked in concert with
Florida Department of Transportation, law enforcement and other officials to manage a major
incident. Ultimately, staff labored through the night to restore water to Okaloosa Island after the
main water line on Brooks Bridge burst after being struck by a crane.
BACKGROUND: On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 20, 2013, a crane on a barge struck
Brooks Bridge. The direct hit caused damage to the bridge itself and broke a 16” water main that
serves as the only source for drinking water and fire protection to Okaloosa Island. Okaloosa
County employees quickly responded and worked the scene to manage the crisis. A major effort
was made to evaluated damage and staff worked through the night to repair the broken water
main. Ultimately, water service was restored to Okaloosa Island early the following morning.
Attached is a list of known employees involved, and the attached PowerPoint Presentation
provides a summary of the repair.
