(Withdrawn) Bradenton - MARS Reuse Interconnection Project
Start Construction 2/15/10
Complete Construction 6/30/11
Status As Of: February 27, 2009
District staff has drafted the agreement and has been waiting for the results of the Bradenton/Manatee Co./Palmetto
Reuse Interconnect Study (L854), before finalizing the agreement. The preliminary results of that study indicates the this
project is not desired. The study points out that the MARS sytem only needs additional reclaimed water supply during
some periods in the dry system. Manatee County does not want to commit to take specified quantities for any set
periods. The City of Bradenton has excess reclaimed water supply and needs to have a dependable customer to
beneficially utilize that reclaimed water. Interconnecting the City of Bradenton's reclaimed water system with the County's
MARS System will not produce the benefit anticipated. The City of Bradenton has requested to withdraw this project.
