  1. Broward County-wideMaster Reuse Plan Southeast Florida Utility CouncilMarch 10, 2014

  2. Presentation Overview - Road Map Where we started: • Background • Goals What we did: • Team Selection • Scope Development • Project Tools Development Where we’re going: • Implementation • Planning, and Data Collection

  3. BACKGROUND

  4. Background: Water Resources Task Force • Task Force Report - January 2011 • Included 40 recommendations in the areas of: • Water conservation • Reuse planning and development • Regional water supply projects • Investigation and modeling

  5. Background: Water Resources Task Force Eleven (11) recommendations specific to reuse including; Recommendation #19 Regional Reuse Master Plan

  6. Background: Water Reuse Challenges Challenges: • Developed urban areas • 25 distinct water providers • 15 distinct wastewater providers • Seasonal demand fluctuations • Treatment costs/disposal options

  7. Background: Water Reuse Drivers Key Drivers in the Past Key Drivers Today • Water/Wastewater concurrency • Saltwater intrusion • Costs for alternatives Regional Water Availability Rule Ocean Outfall Rule Climate Change Regulatory Requirements

  8. Background: Regulatory Reuse Drivers

  9. Background: Reuse Master Plan Goal To develop a Regional Reuse Master Plan that will build upon current municipal and county efforts and coordinate a regional approach to reuse planning, maximizing cost-effective reuse development within Broward County To create a platform for shared communication To provide flexible and interactive planning tools

  10. Coordination&Tool Development

  11. Work Effort: Team Selection • Water and Wastewater Providers/Local Gov’ts • Consultants • Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. • Craven Thompson & Associates, Inc. • Cordova Rodriguez & Assoc., Inc. • Steve Lamb • Broward County: • Natural Resources Planning and Management • Development and Environmental Review • BC Water and Wastewater Services • FLDEP, DOH, DOT, SFWMD

  12. Work Effort: Team Collaborations • Review of Previous Studies/Reports • Stakeholder Meetings • Stakeholder Specific Interactive Project Analysis • Reclaimed Water Planning Tools Development

  13. Work Effort: Tool Production Project Evaluation Model GIS Reclaimed Water Planning Tool

  14. Work Effort: GIS Planning Tool • Foundation for data storage and interpretation • Database of existing and planned reclaimed water infrastructure • Addition of planned County Public Works Projects • Google Earth platform allows for easy manipulations of alternatives • Tool was used to develop proposed regional projects

  15. Work Effort: BC WWS Example Broward WWS Utility Boundary • Evaluated potential users based on distance from WWTP • Two scenarios: • With utility boundaries • Without utility boundaries Broward NRWWTP 3 Miles 5 Miles 1 Mile

  16. Work Effort: BC WWS Example, cont.

  17. Work Effort: Project Evaluation Model • Criteria were developed with stakeholders • Final criteria included the following categories • Project Benefits • Project Implementation • Project Reliability • General Acceptance of Project • Project Costs • Weights and scaling factors were established • Model is in Excel – simplifies revisions

  18. Work Effort: Master Reuse Plan Potential reclaimed water opportunities by utility Regional reclaimed water projects Regional projects using Criteria Model Guidelines for future maintenance of tools Existing and planned reclaimed water infrastructure Planned County Public Works projects Costs and carbon footprint of potential reclaimed water projects Climate change impacts on reclaimed water options

  19. Future implementation

  20. Implementation: Benefits Current: • Database of existing reclaimed water infrastructure-not previously available • Catalyst for multijurisdictional partnering • Documents reuse projects for future funding under SB 444 or other Future: • Reduction in engineering costs for future planning efforts • Ability to visually analyze options • Platform to coordinate with future public works projects and potentially reduce construction costs

  21. Implementation: Potential Projects for Analysis

  22. Implementation: Criterion

  23. Implementation: Initial • Initial Implementation Plan is based on criteria today • The Implementation Plan is flexible • Will be updated as drivers change over time • To be updated by utilities in the future

  24. Implementation: Preliminary

  25. Implementation: Phase I 2015-2020 1 – BCWWS will progress in incremental amounts. 2 – City is required to construct 2 mgd but may install additional capacity. 3 – Town is presently constructing.

  26. Implementation: Phase II 2020-2025 1 – City will pay another utility to construct for ocean outfall compliance. 2 – BCWWS compliance alternative for ocean outfall compliance.

  27. Implementation: Phase I 2015-2020

  28. Implementation: Phase II 2020-2025

  29. Implementation: Future !!!
