N494 Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> - Tarpon Springs - Control, Storage and Pumping Systems Project Type AORs <strong>Water</strong> Supply Cooperative Funding Strategic Initiatives Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> Tarpon Springs Cooperator(s) Project Manager John Ferguson Task Manager(s) Status Proposed Coop. Funding Application Recommendation Fund as a Medium priority. This project is considered favorable by staff, and will prepare the City's reclaimed water system for future distribution expansions. However, it is ranked medium because there is no immediate quantifiable increase to reclaimed water use, or the system's offset utilization percentage. Description This project consists improvements to the City of Tarpon Springs (City) reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> system that will improve system efficiency, reliability, and prepare for future distribution expansions that will increase both Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> utilization and the overall potable water offset efficiency. The system improvements will be developed in two phases. Phase One is the installation of control valves and associated control systems that will allow the City operate residential irrigation zones on a weekly schedule, prevent shut-downs during peak demand periods, and ensure reliability for industrial users who require uninterrupted service. Phase Two is the installation of a 5 mg storage tank and a 4.9 mgd booster pumping station at the City's Municipal Golf Course. The additional storage and pumping capacity has multiple benefits including reduced water losses, improved energy efficiency and system reliability, and allow greater operational flexibility. Both phases will prepare the City's reclaimed water system for future distribution expansions and potential regional interconnections. Benefits The City's current reclaimed water system produces 2.05 mgd on average, of which 1.40 mgd is beneficially reused and 0.65 mgd is annually discharged to the Anclote River. This use pattern varies seasonally, and during dry months the demand occasionally exceeds the available supply causing service interruptions. The reused water is primarily used for residential irrigation, and the current offset utilization is estimated at 64 percent. This project will improve the system reliability and prepare for additional connections, including service to industrial users who can potentially increase the system's overall offset efficiency to over 75 percent. The installation of control valves will allow the City to rotate supplies to residential customers on a weekly schedule during the dry season and ensure reliability to future industrial users who require uninterrupted service. The 5 mg storage tank and pumping station will provide three to four days worth of storage, improve system pressures and operational flexibility, reduce the discharge of surplus reclaimed water to the Anclote River, and reduce water losses from evaporation and percolation occurring in unlined storage ponds. Quantitative offsets are not directly associated with this project and would be credited during future distribution expansions. Costs The City's request is for first-year funding of a multi-year phased project. The total cost is $4,569,994 and the <strong>District</strong> share at 50 percent would be $2,284,997. The first year funding request is for $119,814 and would be applied towards the engineering and construction of the Phase One control valves and associated telemetry. The City expects to expend the requested funds within FY2013, and will request additional funding for the Phase Two Storage Tank and Pump Station in FY2014. The requested funds and additional future funding are contingent on the <strong>District</strong>'s Governing Board's appropriation in the annual budgets. The cost benefit is not calculated because offsets will be associated with future related transmission projects. Additional Information The City has developed multiple reclaimed water transmission, storage, and distribution projects with cofunding from the <strong>District</strong>. The City desires to continue expanding its the reclaimed water system, and is undergoing a reclaimed water optimization and planning study (N258) to select and prioritize future actions/projects that will extend the existing resources to serve more reclaimed water customers and enhance the potable water offset. The study has reviewed the most current supply/demand characteristics using the latest system configuration and has drafted a multi-year action plan to achieve system expansion within available funding projections. This project is the first two phases recommended by the study.
