Description
The Polk Central Florida Water Resource Development Project will implement a water resource sustainability
project/program as described in the West Central Florida Water Restoration Action Plan. The project will also be
consistent with the current Regional Water Supply Plan and the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan
(H072).
Benefits
This project/program will aid in the development 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
providing alternatives to groundwater use.
Costs
The total estimated alternative water supply (AWS) demand for Polk County is 10 mgd, which will result in a total
project cost of $150,000,000 as detailed in the District's Long-Range Water Supply and Resourde Development
Funding Plan (Financial Engine). To date this project has received $5,013,750 in legislative appropriation and it has
been allocated towards projects on the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan Short List including $2.5
Million to H076 Regional Reclaimed Water Partnership Initiative. The remaining $2,513,750 in legislative
appropriation for this project (H080) were transferred/lapsed and then rebudgeted to the projects selected by
Polk County as detailed below. The transferred appropriations will be matched by the cooperator and the District within
each project. As a result of all funding being transferred, this project (H080) is closed out. The proposed District
FY2010 Request of $1,256,875 will no longer be attributed to H080 but to each specific project selected by Polk
County.
A total of $1,010,973 will be transferred to H090 and divided between the Governing Board ($505,487), and the Peace
River Basin Board ($505,486). A total of $833,332 will be transferred/lapsed and rebudgeted to H091 and divided
between the Governing Board ($416,666), Peace River Basin Board ($208,333) and Alafia River Basin Board
($208,333 - lapsed). A total of $669,445 will be transferred/lapsed and rebudgeted to N024 and divided between the
Peace River Basin Board ($66,945) and Hillsborough River Basin Board ($602,500 - lapsed). The below funding table
will reflect the lapsed and rebudgeted funds after October 1, 2009.
Additional Information
The Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan (H072) identified viable public water supply sources and
alternative water supply sources for various public utility systems within Polk County. As part of the Water Supply
Plan, initially source options were ranked but were later revised to include individual City Implementation Plans for
each municipality. The Water Supply Plan was completed in July 2009 and the projects selected by Polk County for
the Polk Central Florida Water Resource Development project are anticipated to begin in FY2009/FY2010.
