Proposed Coop. Funding Application<br />
Recommendation<br />
Fund as a 1A priority. The project will make wet-weather reclaimed water supplies available for beneficial purposes in a<br />
cost-effective manner, addressing the <strong>District</strong> priority of alternative water supply development. The offset of traditional supplies by<br />
using reclaimed water relieves stress on groundwater supplies in the Pasco County area of the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin.<br />
There was adequate information available to evaluate the project and the cooperator has confirmed it has included the necessary<br />
matching funds in its CIP budgets for FY2011 and FY2012. The project is within the <strong>District</strong>'s statutory authority to fund and is not<br />
the result of a permit requirement or enforcement action. The cooperator ranked this project their one and only top FY2013 <strong>District</strong><br />
funding priority.<br />
Description<br />
This project will design and construct a 3 million gallon reclaimed water storage tank, a low pressure transfer pump station, a high<br />
pressure booster pump station, and approximately 200 LF of 24-inch diameter reclaimed water transmission line to interconnect<br />
FGUA’s Aloha/Seven Springs reclaimed water system to Pasco County’s reclaimed water system. The project will also include<br />
approximately 2,000 LF of 4-inch reclaimed water connections to serve the Trinity Oaks subdivision common area irrigation in<br />
FGUA’s service area. The project’s overall intent is to provide diurnal and wet weather storage, and transmission of reclaimed<br />
water to existing residential and commercial irrigation customers to offset potable groundwater use in Pasco County.<br />
Benefits<br />
An average annual amount of 0.45 mgd of reclaimed water will be stored in the ground storage tank (diurnal) and in Pasco<br />
County’s Boyette reclaimed water reservoir (wet weather) to enable the offset 0.225 mgd of traditional groundwater demands in<br />
Pasco.<br />
Costs<br />
The total cost of the project is estimated to be $2,400,000. FGUA requested $1,200,000 from the <strong>District</strong> for fifty percent of the<br />
funding. The Governing Board included $500,000 from the Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Reserves in its FY2012 budget for this<br />
project, and the cooperator has requested $350,000 in FY2013 for the second year funding. The remaining <strong>District</strong> funding portion<br />
($350,000) will be requested in future years. The estimated cost, amortized at 8 percent over 30 years, is $2.57 per 1000 gallons<br />
offset.<br />
Additional Information<br />
This project is the result of a past cooperatively funded FGUA feasibility study (N334) to make the best use of approximately 2 mgd<br />
of available reclaimed water flows from the FGUA Seven Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant in New Port Richey, <strong>Florida</strong>. The<br />
feasibility study included: (1) Providing for interconnections to Pasco County reclaimed water system to allow for the redistribution<br />
of the resource, (2) Investigating projects that maximize the reduction of potable water use in the Seven Springs Service Area by<br />
providing reclaimed water for public access irrigation to areas of high potable water demand where reclaimed water is currently<br />
not available, (3) Investigating projects reducing the amount of effluent being discharged into surrounding FGUA reclaim water<br />
sprayfields, and storage/pumping improvements to maximize water utilization, such as adding diurnal and seasonal storage, and<br />
(4) additional transmission of distribution system projects to expand distribution and transmission delivery and availability to new<br />
customer groups. The FGUA has entered into discussions with Pasco County for the selected interconnection between the two<br />
reclaimed water systems. Furthermore, the FGUA entered into discussions with the representatives from the Trinity Oaks Home<br />
Owners' Association to provide reuse service to irrigate common areas.<br />
