Water Supply Facilities Work Plan AmendmentData and Analysis
Overview • Existing Conditions • Planning Assumptions • Future Conditions • Water System Improvements • Alternative Water Supplies • Water Conservation/Reuse Practices
Existing Conditions • Palm Coast is the Primary Provider • Consecutive Systems • Dunes Community Development District • Flagler County Utilities • Stipulated Settlement Agreement • Cooperation • Water Service Areas
Existing Conditions • Private Wells and Septic Systems • 9,251 Private Wells (Over 98% Used for Irrigation) • Minimal number of private septic systems • Relatively Low Per Capita Demand • District Goal of < 150 GPCD • Current City Average of 124.4 GPCD (80 GPCD Household) • Consumptive Use Permit Modification
Existing Conditions Designation as Priority Water Resource Caution Area • Groundwater not sufficient to meet future water demands • Alternative water supplies will be needed to meet future water demands
Planning Assumptions • Unknowns • Amount of future groundwater allocation • Financially and technically feasible alternative water supply source • Assumptions • Fresh groundwater allocations limited • Brackish groundwater allocations allowed • Flagler County Cooperators will identify financially and technically feasible alternative water supply sources
Future Conditions 212,295 137,963 Alternatives Brackish Groundwater
Future Conditions • Regulatory Concerns • Consumptive Use Permit Modification and Future Groundwater Withdrawals • Concentrate Disposal Issues • Future Updates to Water Supply Facilities Work Plan • Based on assumptions • Many factors dependent upon source
Water System Improvements • Water Treatment Plant #1 • Re-rating pilot study to increase production • Re-drilling and adding wells • Water treatment, high service pumping, and standby power improvements • Water Treatment Plant #2 • Add membrane softening trains • Add packed tower aerator • Alternative concentrate disposal system • Add ground storage tank
Water System Improvements • Water Treatment Plant #3 • Scheduled to come online in February 2008 • 18 confined surficial aquifer wells • Upper Florida aquifer wells (brackish) • Low pressure reverse osmosis treatment plant • Other needed upgrades • Water Treatment Plant #4 • Construct by 2017 to treat alternative water supplies (based on planning assumptions)
Alternative Water Supplies • Reclaimed Water • Wastewater Treatment Plant #1 • Treatment to public access standards – 9.10 MGD • Majority used for golf course and common landscape areas • Wastewater Treatment Plant #2 • Currently under design • Treatment to public access standards • First 2.0 MGD of treatment capacity in Spring 2009 • District Cost-Share Funding • Potable Water Off-Set (Predicting 1.5 MGD)
RECLAIMED WATER SITES MGD
Alternative Water Supplies • Brackish Groundwater • Water Treatment Plant #3 Capability • Part of District Permit Modification • Flagler County Cooperators Group • Develop countywide water supply plan • Identify feasible alternative water supply source • Surface Water Options • Saltwater / Desalination
Conservation/Reuse Practices • Continue water conservation program • Water treatment technologies • Water use monitoring • Indoor conservation programs • Water efficient landscape ordinance • Irrigation design requirements • Customer and employee education • Required to install reclaimed water distribution system • Required to connect to reclaimed system
