Description
The Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan will identify and quantify viable public water supply and alternative
water supply sources for various public utility systems within Polk County. Recommendations from the plan will include
project definitions, specific actions, production rates, schedules, project costs and unit water costs. The total cost for
the project is $955,318.
Benefits
Development of this plan will aid in the identification of viable water supply sources for Polk County's increasing water
demands, and advance the preservation of natural resources in the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA) by
selecting projects that support limited groundwater use.
Costs
As presented in the consultant's proposed Scope of Services and Fee Schedule, the total estimated cost for the
project is $955,318 with the requested District's share being $382,127, SFWMD share being $95,532, and Polk
County's share being $477,659. Total District funding budgeted in FY2009 is $382,127, divided between the
Governing Board $191,063 (50%), the Peace River Basin Board $149,030 (39%), and the Alafia Basin Board $42,034
(11%).
The Funding table below shows the Cumulative Transfers of $477,659 in "District Budgeted - Ad Valorem Based
Revenue" which was budgeted in FY2009 before the SFWMD share of $95,532 was incorporated. As a result, District
Ad Valorem dollars of $95,532 will lapse at the end of fiscal year 2009.
Additional Information
Two previous planning studies were commissioned with District funding to investigate the water supply sources of Polk
County. The current Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan differs from the previous studies in that this plan
will provide Polk County with feasible water supply options, schedules and cost estimates.
