Description
This alternative water supply project consists of a portion of the first phase of three phases in the master plan to
expand the City's Reclaimed Water System to the eastern and southern portion of the City's potable water service
area. The project consists of design and construction of approximately 17,430 linear feet reclaimed water transmission
main ranging in diameter from 24 to 30 inches, an interim reclaimed water booster pumping station, and necessary
appurtenances. This project will offset the irrigation demands on the City's potable water system and potable source
water supply.
Benefits
The project will serve the Haines City High School (.033mgd), a cemetery (.004mgd), one commercial customer
(Paver Modulus / .029mgd)(WUP # 9412), and an industrial customer (Cellynne / .246mgd)(WUP # 12794), providing
312,000 gpd of reclaimed water and offset approximately 302,000 gpd of traditional groundwater supply (WUP #
8522).
Costs
The total cost of this project is estimated to be $4,302,000, of which the Peace River Basin is requested to fund 50
percent, or $2,151,000. Funding in the amount of $1,000,000 has been budgeted in FY2009 (of which $500,000 is
being allocated from outside state funds) and $225,000 in FY2010. It is expected that Haines City will request
$1,176,000 in future years for this multi-year project. The cost-benefit is $3.44/1,000 gallons, amortized over 30 years
at eight percent interest. The future funds identified for the project are contingent upon approval of such amounts by
the District Governing and Basin Boards in the annual budget(s).
Additional Information
The goal of this project is to replace existing potable water and potable quality groundwater used for irrigation with
reclaimed water. The City of Haines City's overall reclaimed water objective is to develop a system that will offset
potable quality water by providing reclaimed water for irrigation and other approved non-potable uses. Existing
customers include the Southern Dunes Golf Course, City's East Park including a ball field, a small citrus grove
adjacent to the Wastewater Treatment Facility, and internal reuse water at the City's Wastewater Treatment Facility
(WWTF). In addition, the Resnick Property, north of the WWTF is presently being used by the city as a spray field for
pasture. The city developed and passed an ordinance/code stating "all new developments within the City of Haines
City that will be receiving reclaimed water within 7 years will be required to install dual distribution lines (reclaimed and
potable) as part of the development." This city expects to complete the expansion of their WWTF from 3.0mgd to
6.0mgd by 2011 then to 8.0mgd by buildout and add reuse customers from the four zones indicated in their master
plan over three phases. Customers indicated above are only a portion of those indicated in the city's master plan for
zone 4 of phase 1. The lines and pumping station proposed in this phase of the project are being built to coincide with
the overall plant expansion. Although benefits are listed above, the total benefits of this project will not be seen until all
three phases are complete. The project (phase 1) is expected to take approximately two years to complete and has
been identified as a potential project in the city's reuse mater plan. Of the total project cost of $4,302,000,
approximately 87 percent ($3,742,000) is expected to be needed for construction, and the remainder ($560,000) for
design and administration.
