water for aquifer recharge of the UFA. This project includes an Avon Park Formation exploratory well and associated monitoring wells. This phase of the project includes preparation of bid documents, bidding the work to a qualified driller, oversight services, construction of wells, re-permitting the wells to allow commencement of recharge activities, and well completion reports. The anticipated water conservation benefit at build-out is 4.5 MGD based on 90% potable quality offset. The estimated cost/benefit ratio calculated at an 8% annual interest rate, amortized over 30 years is $0.21/1000 gallons for the total project ($4,000,000) and $0.11/1000 gallons for the District's share ($2,000,000). Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. Hillsborough County was the premier local government to decriminalize 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 03-07) as needed to quickly address changing conditions in the regulatory environment and as deemed appropriate by the County's administration. All significant regulatory issues pertaining to the County's water conservation efforts are reviewed through a Water Conservation Technical Committee comprised of environmental interests, green industry representatives, other local governments, Tampa Bay Water and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Enforcement of water conservation issues is done through a 5-member Conservation Team, and supplemented by Code Enforcement and Construction Services (Plumbing and Building Departments) in areas of their respective responsibilities. Reclaimed Water Master Plans have been developed to determine how reclaimed water throughout the County will be utilized for the primary goal of offsetting potable water use and meeting regulatory compliance. Additionally, the County has established a Reclaimed Water Improvement Unit (RWIU) ordinance to retrofit existing subdivisions with reclaimed water distribution systems. Hillsborough County has adopted a flood plain ordinance (County Ordinance 01-33) as required to participate as a community in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) administered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The county has developed land development regulations (LDR 96-35) to enforce the ordinance. All development is required to receive the proper building and site alteration permits. At this time flood plain issues are addressed to insure compliance with the flood plain ordinance. Finished floor elevations are compared to the 100 year flood elevation. The County is also a participant in FEMA¿s Community Rating System and received a Class 6 rating.

Currently there is no reliable method to use reclaimed water from the Lake Rita Reservoir for frost and freeze protection for the surrounding orange groves. This project will provide a more reliable reclaimed water irrigation source during the frost and freeze periods. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $250,000 to be expended during FY 2014. The County is requesting 50 percent funding from the District ($125,000). There is no cost benefit for this project due to the fact that there are no reclaimed water customers that will be served directly from this pipeline. Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection ordinances. Pasco County adopted Ordinance 01-08 requiring the following: one day/week irrigation restrictions for potable water; curtailed use of potable water for irrigation when rain has occurred within 24 hours; scheduled availability and restricted use of reclaimed water irrigation to distribute limited supply to 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 use also 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 2012, 100% of Pasco County Utilities' wastewater was reused. The bulk rate charged for the use of reclaimed water is $0.47 per 1,000 gallons (normal rate), $0.21 per 1,000 gallons (surplus rate), and a flat rate of $10.26 per month residential irrigation. Pasco County's potable water rates are applied in a water conservation inclining block rate. 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 when providing the development with reclaimed water supply is determined in the best interest of the County. Pasco County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, administered through FEMA. 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. Fill Ordinance, adopted 3/05, requires permit applications and review for placement of fill greater than 5 CY on properties.
