Current <strong>County</strong> customers in the Port Salerno CRA are served through two major trunk<br />
lines. A 16” inch water line runs along SE Dixie Highway <strong>and</strong> a 20” inch water line runs<br />
along SE Cove Road as shown in Figure 8, “Existing Water Piping.” The development<br />
of Figure 8 was based on information extracted from the electronic Utility Atlas supplied<br />
by <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> Utilities, which graphically depicts the current water lines in the Port<br />
Salerno CRA.<br />
4.11.2 Summary of Water System Needs<br />
Customers within the CRA served with <strong>existing</strong> water, are generally provided with an<br />
adequate LOS. No known operational deficiencies, such as low operational pressures or<br />
fire flows in the water system, have been identified in our discussions with the utility<br />
provider.<br />
Areas currently not served by central water service, are considered to be deficient<br />
relative to the LOS definition. In addition, there are a number of areas serviced by 2”<br />
inch, 3” inch, <strong>and</strong> 4” inch diameter water mains. While these lines may be sufficient for<br />
providing the daily <strong>needs</strong> of the customer, they are insufficient when compared to the<br />
minimum 6” inch diameter fire flow needed to support basic fire service; unless a hydrant<br />
is fed from a 6” inch line in close proximity of the structure.<br />
4.12 EXISTING SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM<br />
4.12.1 Existing Sanitary Gravity Sewer System<br />
<strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> Utilities provides wastewater within unincorporated <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong>,<br />
Seawall’s Point, <strong>and</strong> Ocean Breeze Park. Only part of the CRA is currently connected to<br />
a centralized sewer system. These areas include the neighborhoods of Manatee Creek,<br />
Murray Cove <strong>and</strong> Bollard Avenue.<br />
4.12.2 Existing Sanitary Forcemain Transmission System<br />
Port Salerno is located in <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> Utilities South Wastewater System. The south<br />
system consists of the Tropical Farms, Parkwood, Rocky Point <strong>and</strong> North A1A service<br />
areas. Currently, the wastewater system is interconnected, where flows are divided<br />
between the Dixie Park Wastewater Treatment Plant <strong>and</strong> the Tropical Farms<br />
Wastewater Treatment Plant. <strong>Martin</strong> <strong>County</strong> Utilities plan to take the Dixie Park<br />
Wastewater Treatment Plant off-line (out of service) in the future, leaving Tropical Farms<br />
Wastewater treatment Plant the only facility in the south system. Dixie Park will be used<br />
as a master re-pumping station to redirect flows from the east side of the service area to<br />
the west for treatment.<br />
There are several lift stations within the CRA boundary; most are located in the SE<br />
<strong>section</strong> of the CRA. All the lift stations pump to an 8” inch or 6” inch forcemain: the<br />
majority of which pump to the Dixie Park WWTP. The lift station west of the Murray<br />
Middle School, has the option of being redirected to the Tropical Farms Wastewater<br />
Treatment Plant by shutting-off the forcemain valve near the School.<br />
