Description
This project will construct a 2.5 million gallon ground storage tank and design and expand the high service pump
station by adding a 3.3 mgd pump. The benefits of this project will include improving system pressures, peak demand
storage capacity, expand the customer base of the reuse system, and will provide a higher level of service to the
customers. The Heron Creek Development (531,300 gallons per day [gpd]) has 2350 Equivalent Residential
Connections and a golf course. The reuse supply contract between the City and Heron Creek is for up to 500,000 gpd
of reclaimed water. The City currently provides an average of 200,000 gpd to Heron Creek with the existing system.
With the new tank and high service pump they will be able to provide the additional 300,000 gpd to Heron Creek and
provide reclaimed water to additional future customers.
Benefits
The City plans to increase reuse flows to the Heron Creek Development by approximately 0.3 mgd to provide an offset
of 0.18 mgd of existing and future groundwater use by residential, commercial, and golf course customers. This project
will also provide the infrastructure that will enable the City to serve four additional customers with approximately 1.6
mgd of reclaimed water when additional lines are constructed. The project supports the City's Reuse Master Plan and
will allow the City to meet the demands of future growth in the City's service area.
Costs
The total project cost is $2,102,500 and the District's share is requested to be fifty percent or $1,051,250. The City
plans to spend $202,500 in FY2009 and the Manasota Basin Board has budgeted $101,250 which is fifty percent. The
Manasota Basin has been requested to provide $950,000 in additional funds in FY2010. The cost, amortized at 8
percent over 30 years is $3.38 per 1000 gallons offset. The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon
approval of such amounts by the District Governing and Basin Boards in the annual budget(s).
Additional Information
This project is to implement one of the recommendations of the City's Reuse Master Plan, supported and funded by
SWFWMD. The City of North Port's existing WWTP is permitted to provide 1.88 mgd of public access reclaimed water
to the customers of the system, which consist primarily of two major golf courses, the new City Complex, the North
Port Skate Park, roadway medians, and several bulk residential users. Growth in North Port has resulted in the need
for two additional WWTPs that will be constructed over the next 5-10 years, the West Villages District (WVID) WWTP
and the Panacea WWTP. Both of these two facilities will be designed to provide public access reclaimed quality water
to the customers in the region. In addition, the existing City's WWTP will be expanded to 7.0 mgd within the next 5
year period; therefore, the permitted capacity will be modified to reflect the new reclaimed water availability. This
project will allow the City to provide future reclaimed water service to the following new customers: *The Primary
School, Middle School and High School along Price Boulevard - 0.6 mgd *The Police Training Center on Price
Boulevard - 0.1 mgd *The Sembler Development and Butler Park - 0.7 mgd *Existing Residential and Commercial
Areas along Pan American Boulevard - 0.2 mgd Demands by these new customers will serve to increase reclaimed
water use by nearly 1.6 million gallons per day (mgd).
