Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. Water Conservation: Hillsborough County was the premier local government to criminalize the violation of water use restrictions, and to adopt a civil citation process for the enforcement of the same in July 1993. A fulltime Water Conservation Manager assures that the County stays abreast of conservation issues. This facilitates amendments to the County’s Water Conservation Ordinance (HCO 91-27) as needed to quickly address changing conditions in the regulatory environment and as deemed appropriate by the County’s administration. Through the Lake and Stream Management Program, Florida Friendly landscaping is promoted as a primary form of landscape appropriate for the region. Additionally, the program works with property owners and provides technical advice about conservation techniques including reuse, alternative sources, and rain harvesting, reducing the burden on potable water supplies. Flood Protection: The principal purpose of Hillsborough County’s floodplain management program is to protect residents and business owners from flooding risks. Flooding disasters are the leading recurring hazard within the County and have the potential of affecting greater than one-quarter of the population at a value that is greater than five billion dollars in personal property. Construction standards and planning concepts are implemented through the County’s Land Development Code, Floodplain Management Plan and Local Mitigation Strategy. Additionally, the Lake and Stream Management program provides a network of engaged residents to help identify potential flooding problems and works with volunteers to manage surface water resources which are used for flood storage and mitigation.

The watershed covers an area of approximately 42 square miles (including the three square mile Tank Lake study area) and is located in Pasco County and includes Dade City and the surrounding area. Issues in the watershed are flood damage, rapid growth, and water quality issues. The Watershed Management Plan element includes the following tasks: survey, data management and development of watershed parameters, GIS processing, computer modeling, floodplain analysis, surface water resource assessment (water quality) establishment of LOS, BMP alternative analysis. Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. . Pasco County has adopted Ordinance 01-08 requiring the following: one day per week irrigation restrictions for potable water; curtailed use of potable water for irrigation when rain has occurred within the last 24 hours; scheduled availability and restricted use of reclaimed water for lawn and landscape irrigation to 2 days per week county-wide to serve as many customers as possible; washing of non-business, personal vehicles only using low volume methods and over non-impervious surfaces; prohibiting aesthetic uses of water unless such provides a necessary aeration or water quality benefit; and the use of reclaimed water for road construction activities when available. Enforcement of this ordinance is by designated County personnel and law enforcement officers. During Water Year 2004, 100% of Pasco County Utilities¿ wastewater was reused. The bulk rate currently charged for the use of reclaimed water is $0.61 per 1,000 gallons and a flat rate of $11.00 per ERU per month for residential irrigation. Pasco County¿s potable water rates have been adjusted with steeper water conservation inclining block rates. County Ordinance 93-16 requires each new development to construct a reclaimed water distribution system as a condition of wastewater service when the development is within designated areas in the reclaimed water master plan and providing the development with reclaimed water is determined to be in the best interest of the County. Pasco County has also adopted Landscape Ordinance 02-04 that restricts the use of non-drought tolerant turf grass and encourages drought tolerant landscaping. Pasco County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program administered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. All finished floor elevations are required to be above the 100-year flood elevation. These elevations are reviewed prior to construction and certified after construction Funding Source Prior Funding FY2013 Budget FY2014 Budget Future Funding Total Funding 5
