Description
This project consists of a shallow well rebate program to provide incentives and assistance to encourage existing
homeowners/businesses of Manatee County who use potable water as a landscape irrigation source to convert to a
shallow well (surficial/intermediate) system. This area includes the western unincorporated service area of Manatee
County and the cities of Anna Maria, Bradenton Beach and Holmes Beach.
Benefits
It is estimated that there will be 100 wells installed each year, saving 493 gpd per site, within the retail service area of
Manatee County Water System. The estimated water savings from this project is 49,300 gpd.
Costs
The total project cost is $50,000, and the District's share is requested to be $25,000. The Manasota Basin is
requested to fund $25,000 in FY2006. The cost, amortized at 8 percent over 20 years, is $0.28 /1000 gal saved. Any
additional funds are for staff time.
Additional Information
This shallow well rebate program provides a cost share (50% of cost up to $500) to any eligible customer who
converts to a shallow well (surficial/intermediate) system and meets all criteria set forth by the Shallow Well Feasibility
Study, conducted during FY2004 and FY2005. Rebate payments are subject to the recipient's submittal of the
documented cost to the Utility Operations Department, Water Conservation Section and a completed site inspection of
every well installation.
