IV. Program Allocations Consistent with the state's policy as expressed in the Water Protection and Sustainability Program, funding preference for alternative water projects is given to those involving the development of multi-jurisdictional water supply systems, which offer economies of scale, opportunities for conjunctive use of multiple water sources, and enhanced system reliability and sustainability. In practice, this approach has resulted in the majority of funding for potable water supply being allocated to projects developed by regional water supply authorities. Since the mid-1990’s, the District has been budgeting to cooperatively-fund alternative water source projects with Tampa Bay Water (TBW) (a regional water supply authority that encompasses Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties), including surface water supplies, a surface water treatment plant, a reservoir and a seawater desalination plant. This major investment has been successful in allowing TBW to transition from a system reliant entirely on groundwater to a conjunctive use system that takes advantage of multiple water sources and offers significant operational flexibility. The resulting large cutback in groundwater withdrawals already has positively advanced the environmental resources in the region, including longer wetland hydro periods and recovering lake levels. The District also has cooperatively-funded projects in recent years with the Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority (PRMRWSA), a four-county regional partnership (Charlotte DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota) in the southern part of the District. Two major projects have recently been completed: an expansion of the Authority’s surface water treatment facilities from a capacity of 24 million gallons per day (mgd) to 48 mgd, and the construction of an above-ground raw water storage reservoir with a capacity of six billion gallons. The projects were completed ahead of schedule and have given the Authority the ability to reliably provide the full 32.7 mgd authorized in its water use permit and more flexibility in managing water supply, particularly in times of drought. The District has also helped to fund the Authority’s Regional Integrated Loop System, a long term project which will eventually connect the major facilities of its members and provide rotational capacity, operational flexibility and emergency backup capacity to benefit the entire region. In the central inland counties, the District-funded water supply plan for Polk County was completed in 2009 and the District has included significant funding in its Long-Range Funding Plan for alternative water supply projects identified in the plan. The District proposes to fund an update of the County’s water supply plan in the coming fiscal year and is working on an agreement with the County that would provide a framework for future infrastructure funding. The District also continues to fund exploratory wells in Polk County to ascertain the water quality and potential yield of the lower Floridan aquifer, a critically important alternative water source in that region. Throughout the District, cooperative projects leveraged with local governments for water conservation or reclaimed water continue to receive funding to help reduce future water demands and stretch available supplies. Over $23.1 million is budgeted for such projects in fiscal year 2013-14. Trends for water supply development assistance include a slight increase in the budgeted amount since the last fiscal year. This is primarily due to additional funding associated with the Clearwater Brackish Floridan Aquifer Reclaimed Water System, a project expected to produce over 5 mg of potable water supply, and the Manatee Regional Reclaimed Water Storage Tank, a project for increasing storage to enhance the irrigation system’s peak efficiency. This subactivity also includes the addition of several new initiatives, including enhancing reuse systems, regional potable water interconnects, and conservation retrofit projects. In addition, the Project Management Office (PMO) was recently added to this category. The PMO was created to improve the consistency and efficiency of the District’s water resource projects. One of the PMO’s initial activities is to coordinate the implementation of new contract templates. Other long-term goals include creating a process to rank and select cooperative funding projects, develop consistent guidelines for managing projects and creating a database to centrally house all the project information. 81
IV. Program Allocations Budget Variances The 35.1 percent increase for this subactivity is primarily due to additional cooperative funding requests in fiscal year 2013-14 for Reclaimed Water ($2.9 million), Brackish Groundwater Development ($2.7 million), and Aquifer Recharge/Storage and Recovery Construction ($1.8 million) projects Major Budget Items Reclaimed Water projects ($23.1 million) such as: the TECO - Polk Power Station Reclaimed Water Interconnects to Lakeland/Polk County/Mulberry ($5.7 million) and Manatee County Regional 10 MG Reclaimed Water Storage Tank SE-3 ($2.6 million); Brackish Groundwater Development projects ($6.1 million) primarily for the Clearwater-5 MGD Brackish Floridan Aquifer Reverse Osmosis System ($6 million); and the District expanded the benefits reuse of reclaimed water with cost effective storage alternative type projects in fiscal year 2013-14 by funding for Aquifer Recharge/Storage & Recovery Construction projects ($2.4 million) such as the Northwest Hillsborough Regional Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project ($1.5 million). 82
