Recommendation<br />
Fund as High priority. This 4 MG reclaimed water storage tank project will help the City to provide reclaimed water for irrigation and<br />
lessen need for potable water. The project is consistent with the <strong>District</strong>'s objectives by using an alternative water source to offset<br />
potable water use. This project is located in the <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Use Caution Area (SWUCA). There was suffcient information<br />
provided to evaluate the project. The project is within the <strong>District</strong>'s statutory authority to fund and is not the result of a permit<br />
requirement or enforcement action.<br />
Description<br />
The City of Venice proposes to construct an approximately 4 million gallon reclaimed water storage tank adding it to their system.<br />
The City has a reclaimed water program to reduce the demand for potable withdrawals from water supply sources by treating<br />
wastewater to reclaimed water standards. Wastewater is treated and disinfected then piped to neighborhoods and golf courses<br />
and used for irrigation. The City plans to expand its reclaimed water system over the next decade to provide service to as many<br />
homeowners as possible in the City. The system operates in conjunction with the City's Eastside <strong>Water</strong> Reclamation Facility<br />
(WRF) and most of the effluent is utilized as reclaimed water within the City.<br />
Benefits<br />
This project will provide for the increasing customer demand and to lessen the need for existing potable water resources. The<br />
construction of additional reclaimed water storage will allow the City to store additional reclaimed water for future use and provide<br />
additional flow to customers during dry season periods, thereby furthering the City's water conservation efforts.<br />
Costs<br />
Total project cost for construction is estimated at $2,750,000. The City is requesting 50% match in the Manasota basin for<br />
$1,375,000. The City is fully funding the engineering services for this project from the City's fiscal year 2012 budget. These services<br />
are expected to exceed $200,000 and the City is not seeking Cooperative Funding for the design phase of the project.<br />
Additional Information<br />
There are approximately 38 miles of reclaimed water distribution mains and approximately 2,600 reclaimed water customers<br />
billed monthly.The CIty of Venice has one of the lowest per capita water use rates in the region. This is due to a combination of the<br />
City's tiered water rate structure and its reclaimed water distribution system which has been in place for many years.<br />
