Description
This project expanded the City of Punta Gorda's Shell Creek Water Treatment Plant (WTP) from 8 to 10 mgd. Project
elements included rehabilitating existing filters and improving the facility's chemical mixing and disinfection processes.
Although the facility recently received a re-rating from the DEP from 8 to 10 mgd, these improvements were necessary
for the plant to treat a sustained capacity of 10 mgd.
Benefits
The City of Punta Gorda will have the ability to supply additional water to the regional system. The intent is to make
water available to address a potential water supply shortfall that may occur while the Peace River/Manasota Regional
Water Supply Authority (Authority) completes its facility expansion in 2010. This project will assist in maximizing
surface water for public supply; providing rotational capacity and the ability to rest sources; providing reserve capacity
for emergency transfers; limiting development of ground water in the Southern Water Use Caution Area; and better
matching supply, demand, and financial investment on a regional basis.
Costs
Total estimated project cost was $3,000,000 while the District's share initially was $1,500,000. The entire District
share was allocated in FY2007.
Additional Information
The City of Punta Gorda originally planned an expansion of its Shell Creek WTP capacity to meet future public supply
demands through 2016. The expansion was initially scheduled to occur in two stages, from 8 to 10 mgd by January
2008 (later amended to June 2009) and from 10 to 15 mgd by 2014. The City submitted a separate cooperative
funding application for each expansion in FY2007. This project (H060) was only for the expansion from 8 to 10 mgd.
The Authority identified the Shell Creek WTP as a potential source for providing 2 mgd towards the Authority's GAP
Plan. The GAP Plan addresses a possible water supply shortfall that may occur prior to full utilization of the Authority's
Facility Expansions (F032 & F033). In addition to the WTP expansion (H060), the City of Punta Gorda submitted a
cooperative funding application (H087) for the future construction of a 2 mgd RO facility at or near the Shell Creek
WTP to meet their future public supply demands.
