Description
The project consists of a master plan to examine the feasibility of expanding the City of Auburndale's existing
reclaimed water system. In particular, the study will investigate the best use of the city's existing 0.5 mgd excess
reclaimed water supply and the 1.0 mgd of previously used reclaimed water (by the Calpine Power facility) that is
disposed of via sprayfield. The report would identify the potential users, quantities, and offsets, address the required
components, along with sizing and cost, associated with the design and construction of the necessary storage,
pumping, transmission, and distribution systems. The provided options would optimize the beneficial use of reclaimed
water flows and include a multi-year plan for implementing the recommended options.
Benefits
The project would provide options to optimize the beneficial use of reuse flows and create a multi-year plan for
implementing the recommended options.
Costs
The project cost is $50,000, of which 50 percent, or $25,000, was funded by the Peace River Basin Board in FY2009.
Additional Information
The City of Auburndale has adopted ordinances that mandate the use of low-volume toilets and low flow shower
heads and faucets in all construction requiring a building permit. The City also has a school based education program
and inclining rate structure to encourage water conservation. The City has adopted ordinances and regulations to
regulate and restrict uses in zoning districts designated as Flood Hazard Districts. These regulations are intended to
protect and preserve natural open spaces, park lands, swamp lands, water sheds, recharge areas, and lakes and their
canals. To those ends, permitted and permissible uses are basically limited to conservation agriculture, low intensity
recreation, and, with certain limitations, uses otherwise not contrary to the character of these districts.
