Polk Central Florida Water Resource Development Project
Status As Of: September 08, 2009
The Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan (PCCWSP) (H072) was completed in July 2009. A preliminary list of
projects from the Water Supply Plan was available in December 2008 to aid in the selection of an alternative water
supply project. On December 17, 2008 the Polk County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved the
agreement with the District designating approximately $2.5 million in West Central Florida Restoration Action Plan
(WRAP) funds to Alternative Water Supply (AWS) projects listed on the PCCWSP (H072) - short list. On August 5, 2009
the Polk County BOCC approved the PCCWSP. In a letter dated May 14, 2009 Polk County prioritized projects to receive
WRAP funds and decided to fund the following three projects: (1) Polk County NERUSA Holly Hill Reclaimed Water
Storage and Pumping and Lower Floridan Aquifer Well (H090); (2) Polk County SWRUSA Reclaimed Water Connection
to TECO (H091); and (3) Polk County NWRUSA Reclaimed Water Storage and Pumping Station (N024). As mentioned
above in the Cost Section of this report, WRAP and District appropriations will be transferred to the projects selected by
Polk County (H090, H091 and N024) and resulting in the closing of this project number (H080).
