Century Hits A Bump In The Road After Water Main Break — It Will Cost Them Over $50,000
December 5, 2024
The Town of Century has hit a bump in the road after repairing a water main break earlier this year — a bump that will cost them over $50,000.
A water main break in front of Bondurant Ace Hardware at 8511 North Century Boulevard left a significant portion of the town of Century without water for a day.
Now, the Florida Department of Transportation has determined the leak caused damage to North Century Boulevard (Highway 29), and Century must take action due to a safety hazard to traveling public.
The town has approved a FDOT proposal that will allow the state agency to make the repairs using their contractor, and Century will pay the bill that is estimated to be $53,107.60. The town will reimburse FDOT from the general fund over 15 years with no interest. The amount may vary slightly due to the actual cost of work and materials.
The project will also include the replacement of about 50 feet of sidewalk. A timetable for the repair work has not been announced.

Century comes out as the winner here. A $50,000 loan at 0% interest for 15 years. A dollar now is worth more than a dollar later.
Couldn’t the mayor just pay this with his increased spending limit?
Why not just unincorporate as a city?
being here over 50 years and NEVER has Century been competent and yet we pour money down the drain–either take them over or better yet–let them sink or swim…
Unfortunately that area is no rougher than the asphalt being put down.
that is only 3,500 a year. Century has all that money just write the check, for the full amount.
Century, the hole that can never be filled with enough $$$.
