IV-B. POTABLE WATER SUB-ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The City of Winter Springs currently owns, operates and maintains a central potable water treatment
and distribution system within its corporate limits. The City's potable water system provides water
for both residential and non-residential purposes, including fIre-fighting demands. A Water and
Wastewater Rate Study for the City was initiated in 2001 to identify the appropriate impact fees for
potable water and sanitary sewer users.
In 2007, the City completed the City of Winter Springs' Water SupplY Pian 2007 (SupplY Pian). The SupplY
Pian was part of legislation adopted in 2005 for the purpose of strengthening coordination of water
supply planning and local land use planning. The legislation required extensive evaluation of water
supply facilities for at least a ten-year planning period. The SupplY Pian:r evaluation period projects
an eighteen-year planning period. By extending the planning period to 2025, the SupplY Pian is better
able to assess future needs and utilizes compatible planning increments with the St. Johns River
Water Management District (SJRWMD)'s Distn"ct Water SupplY Pian 2005 .
The City is located in an area that the SJR'W'MD identifIes as a priority water resource caution area in
the Distn"ct Water SupplY Pian 2005. A priority water resource caution area is an area where existing
and reasonably anticipated sources of water may not be adequate to supply water for all existing legal
uses and anticipated future needs while sustaining water resources and related natural systems
through 2025. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County and the
other cities within the County to develop a county-wide water supply plan (County Plan). It is
anticipated that the County Plan \\ill identify projects that are suitable to be included in a future
update or addendum to the Distn"ct IFater SupplY Pian 2005.
Data and analysis within the Suppb Pian indicates that, based on future population projections,
analysis of the existing supply and treatment facilities associated with the continuation of the
residential reclaimed water system program and conservation programs, the City will not need
additional groundwater or other potable water sources to meet demands through 2025.
PUBLIC POTABLE WATER FACILITIES INVENTORY
a. Operational Responsibilitv
The City of Winter Springs Public Works/Utility Department is responsible for the operations and
maintenance of the central public water system within the City's service area.
b. Service Area
The City has historically provided potable water service to meet demands within the City's
boundaries, with the exception of a few parcels at the City's perimeter. These are served by the City
of Longwood, the City of Casselberry, or by Seminole County Environmental Services (SCES) and
represent an insignificant portion of each utility's service capability.
IV -13
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
Seminole County Environmental Services supplies potable water to Tuscawilla Unit 2. The City area
served by Seminole County currently includes approximately 65 single-family homes (22,750 GPD).
It is very small in comparison with the overall SCES capacity and can be adequately served by SCES.
According to information available from the Seminole County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan,
the current groundwater supply and treatment facilities are sufficient to meet the demands through
the 2025 projections. In general, the amount of water sold to \X!inter Springs residents is a small
fraction of the County's overall water demand.
The City of Casselberry serves approximately seven (7) commercial/warehouse customers on Belle
Avenue that are located within the City. These are direct customers of the City of Casselberry and
are not part of a wholesale or interlocal agreement. These customers are adequately served and
represent a small fraction of the Casselberry service capability.
\X!inter Springs entered into an interlocal agreement in 2006 with the City of Longwood to serve
certain identified properties along US 17-92. Currently, Longwood services only a few customers
that are located within the City.
Additionally, individual wells self-serve approximately 325 single family homes within the City limits.
There are no plans to extend water service lines into these areas at this time. Generally, the City
does not service areas outside of the City limits. The two sites served outside of the City are because
no other service was available.
As of April 2007, the City is servicing approximately 12,500 service connections. The predominant
users serviced by the central system are residential customers within the City limits. The central
water system service area is identified on Map IV-B-1: Service Area. No service area growth is
anticipated.

C. Water Treatment Plants
The City's central system consists of two (2) water service areas with three (3) water treatment plants
which are interconnected and which operate as one (1) system. Each of the service areas are
supplied by four wells.

Source: Winter Springs Utility Department, City of Winter Springs Water Supply Plan 2007.
\VTP #1 is located at 851 Northern Way in the Tuskawilla residential planned unit development.
The plant has four (4) wells (5200 GPM); two (2) storage tanks [a 500,000 gallon ground storage
tank (aerator capability 3800 GPM) and a 1,000,000 gallon storage tank (aerator capability 3500
GPM)]; and three (3) high service pumps (7950 GPM). There is sufficient area for further
expansion of ground storage capacity and high service pumping.
\\1TP #2 is located at 700 Sheoah Boulevard in the Highlands residential planned unit development.
The plant has some minor room for further expansion. The plant includes two (2) wells (2200
GP:Lv1) [one onsite and one offsite]; one 500,000 gallon ground storage tank (3800 GPM of aerator
capacity); and three high service pumps (4350 GP:Lv1).
\VTP #3 is located at 110 West Bahama Road. The plant consists of two (2) wells (3500 GP:Lv1); one
500,000 gallon ground storage tank (aeration 3800 GPM); and three (3) high service pumps (3100
GPM).
.All of the City's central system treatment facilities utilize the same basic process for water treatment.
First, raw groundwater is pumped from the aquifer through a cascade aerator atop the ground
storage tank for hydrogen sulfide removal. Second, the water is chlorinated/disinfected with either
sodium hypochlorite (a concentrated bleach) or chlorine gas and pumped into the distribution
system with high service pumping units. A phosphate inhibitor is added to the raw water and
provides a "passive" coating on the interior of pipes, thereby reducing the corrosion effect and
leaching of metallic constituents 0ead and copper). Each of these treatment facilities consists of
several distinct parts, which together comprise a complete plant system, including: wells, treatment,
storage, and high service pumping.
d. Water Qualitv
The City's raw water quality meets the maximum contaminant levels for all currently regulated
inorganic and organic contaminants and is of good quality 'W1.th the exception of high concentrations
of hydrogen sulfide, sulfate and chlorides, at specific wells. There is no evidence of coliform
bacteria. Raw water quality is described in detail in the SupplY Plan. The finished water quality
produced by the central system meets all State and Federal regulations related to the production of
safe drinking water. However, it is likely that new regulations by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) 'Wrill require removal of sulphur concentrations over .3 mg/l as
wells are altered or new wells are constructed.

e. Distribution System
The interconnected distribution system consists of water mains up to 16 inches in diameter. The
mains consist of various materials including: asbestos cement, ductile iron, polyvinyl/ chloride, high
density polyethylene (HDPE) and cast iron, depending upon location and/or design circumstances.
The distribution system is illustrated on Map IV -B-2: Water Line Distribution System.
f. Public Wells
The City's central potable water distribution system is connected to eight (8) potable water wells.
Drawdowns in the surficial aquifer are estimated to be very low. A five hundred (500) foot
minimum spacing between wells is maintained, in order to reduce possible interference between
wells. The current capacity for each well is identified below:

The City adheres to the standards adopted for wellhead protection by the S]R\X1MD and the FDEP,
including restricting the type of development allowed in the v..;cinity of a wellhead and requiring a
SOO-foot protection zone around each wellhead (see Future Land Use Element).
Land use surrounding a water supply site is a major consideration in the selection and protection of
well sites to avoid contamination. As part of the City's wellhead protection plan the City should
identify all potential sources of contamination for existing wells. The direction of groundwater flow
is to the northeast toward Lake] esup.
g. Potable Water StoraQe Facilities
The City has four (4) ground storage tanks connected to the central system. The capacity of each

ALTERNATE WATER SOURCES
The City of \V'inter Springs operates two (2) wastewater treatment plants \\~th a combined treatment
capacity of approximately 3.56 MGD \\~th a projected capacity of 4.77 MGD by 2010.
Wastewater is collected, treated, and redistributed for irrigation purposes. In 2007, the reclaimed
water system had 1720 residential connections utilizing a flow of approximately 1.1 MGD, average
daily flow. The reclaimed water has also been utilized at two golf courses (Tuscawilla Golf Course
and Winter Springs Golf Club) a public park, and other urban landscape areas. The system has
reduced demands on the City's potable water system.
New subdivisions and other developments are required to install reclaimed water distribution lines
so that reclaimed water, when available, can meet irrigation demands. New developments are also
encouraged to utilize storm water or surface waters for irrigation use wherever feasible.
The system is currently constrained by the availability of wastewater in proportion to the demand
for irrigation water. Current irrigation demand exceeds the amount of wastewater generated by a
single family home by as much as four (4) times. Use of secondary sources of water to supplement
the system (such as Lake]esup), \vill allow expansion of the City's reclaimed water system.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
CONSERVATION PROGRAMS
The City has implemented numerous conservation programs:
Water Restrictions. The City follows the watering restrictions recommended by the SJR\XlMD,
which prohibit watering between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM and more than twice a week. An
ordinance implemented in 2001 addresses water shortage conditions and watering restrictions that
can be imposed by the City. This restriction applies to all water uses including potable, reclaimed
water use, surface water and shallow wells.
Conservation Rate Structure. Since 1998, the City has used a 5-tier water conservation promoting
rate structure for the pricing of potable water use. The City also uses a 3-tier rate structure for
reclaimed water use.
Reclaimed \Xlater Program. The City's reclaimed water program and the water conservation benefits
of the program are promoted through literature distributed to water customers. New developments
are required to construct a reclaimed or other non-potable water distribution system.
Additional water conservation practices that have been implemented include: Conducting an
informal leak detection program; Use of billing software to reduce discrepancies in reported gallons
billed versus gallons pumped; Requiring compliance with the Florida Building Code standards for
low volume fixtures in all new development; Promotion of water efficient landscape and irrigation
(Xeriscape™) practices through regulations and education; Providing sites which showcase
examples of Xeriscape™ practices; Using native vegetation on public lands as feasible; Providing
retrofit kits and making water conservation literature available; and Providing public tours of
facilities.
WATER SUPPLY CONCURRENCY
In order to ensure that water is available at time of development, a concurrency management
procedure has been implemented. This procedure includes the participation of a representative
from the City's Utility Department as a participant during development review. This representative
addresses availability of potable and reclaimed water to new development, thus ensuring that the
approval of development orders are coordinated with the availability of a water supply.
The demand per capita for potable water is calculated by taking the volume of water treated and
pumped and dividing it by the City's population. The City's consumption rate went from a high of
145 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) (1998) to a low of 104 GPCD (2003). Demand can fluctuate
considerably depending upon the weather patterns of a given year. An extremely dry year in 2006
increased demand to 135 GPCD. This represents the volatility of irrigation demands on the water
supply. Expanding the City's Reclaimed Water and Conservation Programs will ensure that the
potable water demand is reduced regardless of weather patterns. The City projects that the per
capita potable water consumption will continue to decrease from historic patterns, given the
expansion of the reclaimed water system, conservation programs, and development of infill
properties with denser housing configurations, such as townhouses, apartments and condominiums,
rather than large lot single family homes.
The City's level of service (LOS) for the potable water supply is a minimum of 115 gallons per capita
per day (GPCD).

PROJECTED WATER NEEDS AND SOURCES
a. Population
Population growth is expected to increase by 1.2 % per year over the 18-year period through 2025.
This projection adds 8835 people to the City.
Population and corresponding water demand rates are the most important factors in determining the
need for additional supply and treatment facilities. Historical rates of water usage were analyzed to
better understand demand factors.
b. Potable Water Capacity Surpluses and Deficiencies
As of 2007, the City of Winter Springs's central system is providing 9.4 MGD maximum daily flow.
Treatment plants are rated by their ability to serve based on the limiting component. Currently this
limiting component is the storage capacity. The storage system has a maximum capacity of 10.1
MGD (maximum daily flow criterion). Therefore, there is an estimated 0.70 million gallons per day
of surplus capacity. The existing system is able to serve all of the existing residential and non-
residential units that are currently connected to private wells. The City does not have any capacity
deficiencies within the central system.
c. Future Demand Capacity
The ability of the City's system to meet the consumptive demand is controlled by the maximum
permitted pumping capacity as limited by the City's Consumptive Use permit from the St. John's
River Water Management District. SJR\XlMD has indicated that the permitted supply of
groundwater will be frozen at the 2013 level for subsequent years, based on what the Floridan
Aquifer can support for the region.
Future water demand was forecast based on City population projections through 2025. The City has
the capacity to service the City's potable water demands through the projected planning period,
while considering the 2013 limitations. The expanded use of reclaimed water further reduces this
demand and enables the City to meet its LOS.

pro-vision of an alternative water source. Improvements to prmride for facility upgrades or existing
maintenance requirements are also included.
d. Fire Protection
In addition to domestic and commercial demand, the City has identified the need to rate the water
system in terms of its ability to provide fire protection. To rate the water system in terms of fire
protection, the City has embraced the fire protection standards of the NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) and the ISO (Insurance Services Office).
Recommended fire protection standards for each land use designation have been established. In
order to identify areas of possible deficiency in meeting the fire protection standards, fire
department hydrant flow test data was analyzed. As of 2007, the City does not have any
deficiencies.

e. Performance and Condition of Existing Facilities
The water quality from the Floridan Aquifer is sufficiently good and only requires aeration and
chlorination treatment to pro-vide potable water. Each of the City's three water treatment plants has
consistently operated in compliance with all criteria established by the FDEP and the Florida
Department of Health with respect to public water supplies.
All three of the City's water treatment plants (WTP #1, 'W'TP #2 & \,Trp #3) were constructed in
1972. Each plant continues to be maintained in good operating condition. Repairs and/or upgrades
to each plant are performed as required on an individual basis. Each plant should have a minimum
remaining useful life of at least 40 years.
The folio-wing table summarizes the City's historical and projected water consumption data based on
plant flow records from January 2001 to December 2006 and shows the SJR\v1\ID's CUP data in
comparison to demand. Conservation efforts and an expanded reclaimed water system have led to a
general decrease in per capita demand, with the exception of 2006 which was a particularly dry year.

FUTURE WATER SOURCES
Limitations on the Floridan Aquifer as a resource require the City to consider alternative water
sources. The 2006 Addenduln to the SjRW10D's District Water SupplY Plan 2005 included alternative
water source options for local jurisdictions to consider. Winter Springs is currently in the planning
stages of the Winter Springs - Lake Jesup Reclaimed Water Augmentation Project. This project is
a single jurisdiction project and is projected to produce 2.25 MGD. Winter Springs has requested
cost-share funding under the Water Protection and Sustainability Program and has been granted
$1.82 million over a three year period (2008-2010). Total construction cost is anticipated at $6.06
million. \Vinter Springs has purchased a site for the plant on the south shore of Lake J esup and in
2006, applied for a CUP (#105763) for the withdrawal of surface water from the Lake to
supplement its reclaimed water supply. The CUP application is under review by the SJRw:MD. The
project consists of construction of fIltration treatment, two 1.0 MGD ground storage tanks,
pumping facilities and high level disinfectant facilities. The facility 'Will be constructed with
expansion capacity to provide treated surface water to neighboring entities not in the \Vinter
Springs' service area, through interconnects based on interlocal agreements. Completion of the
project is slated for 2010.
Over the next 18-year period, it is estimated that another 3.2 MGD \\ill be made available from the
reclaimed water system and the future water augmentation system. The City is continuing to expand
its reclaimed water distribution system. It anticipates supplying approximately 20% of its residents
with reclaimed water for landscape irrigation by 2013 and expanding to every single family detached
home which is connected to City sanitary sewer service by 2025. Projections for the use of
reclaimed water indicate that public reception is above average and that it is a viable source of
irrigation water for the City. Reclaimed water reduces demand for potable water and will allow the
City to use potable water for new development which is its highest and best use. As reclaimed water
becomes available, potable water for irrigation use will be prohibited.
FUTURE CONSERVATION PROGRAMS
Conservation Programs can impact public perception and support of good stewardship of water
resources. These efforts, however, are not able to be quantifIed in terms of MGD reductions on a
spreadsheet. If they were, they would appear to have only an insignifIcant impact. Their greater
impact is a greater community awareness of the identity of the place in which they reside and how to
better sustain it. The following summarizes key areas where the City can make improvements:
Land Development Regulations. The City's Land Development Regulations will be re,rised to
reflect best practices in water effIcient landscaping and the use of native plant materials.
Water Conservation Education. The City's web site will be expanded to include information on
water conservation. \Vater conservation materials will be displayed at City Hall. The City will
continue to implement examples of water efficient landscapes (Xeriscapes™) as models for the
public. The City will consider initiating an award program recognizing best practices in water
effIcient landscaping within Winter Springs and consider supporting City Staff training and
involvement in school programs such as "Drop Savers" and "Project W'ET".
RetrofIts. The City will continue its meter replacement program to retrofIt meters with unaccounted
water loss and consider incentives for retrofItting old plumbing fIxtures with low volume fIxtures.

Water Supply Work Plan, April 2007
(Planning Period through 2025)
Winter Springs is proposing to continue the progressive plan that it has been implementing since its
fIrst purchase of private utilities in 1984. Winter Springs' approach to meeting the projected water
demand through 2025 is based on sound solutions, both economically and environmentally.
1. Optimize the use of groundwater as a source of potable water, in an environmentally effective
manner. Require connection to the City's central system in areas where potable water lines are
\vithin the right-of-way. Continue meter replacement program to retrofit meters which have
unaccounted water loss. Consider incentives for retrofItting old plumbing fixtures with low volume
fixtures.
2. Implement ordinances that encourage water conservation, Xeriscape™ landscaping and low water
use devices, ete. Revise land development regulations to reflect best practices in water efficient
landscaping and the use of native plant materials.
3. Continue implementation of the residential reclaimed water retrofit program. Optimize
participation by prohibiting use of potable water for irrigation use, in areas where reclaimed water is
available.
4. Continue to require new development to prov'ide infrastructure for connection to reclaimed water
or use of surface water from stormwater ponds supplemented with private wells for irrigation.
5. Continue evaluation and development of alternative water supplies and/or augmentation sources.
Support regional water supply initiatives and cooperative efforts with other jurisdictions. The City
has land available on the shore of Lake Jesup for a secondary (non-potable) water treatment facility,
to provide supplemental water to its existing reclaimed distribution system.
6. Seek funding assistance on reclaimed water and alternative water supply programs to reduce
burden on customer base.
7. Continue the implementation of water conservation lrutlatlves. Expand website to include
information on water conservation. Display and make water conservation materials available at City
Hall. Continue to implement Xeriscape™ demonstration projects as a tool for public awareness.
Consider initiating an award program recognizing best practices in water efficient landscaping within
Winter Springs. Consider supporting City Staff training and involvement in school programs such

The City has historic ,been able to provide adequate potable water service to meet the demand
'W'ithin the City's bou aries. Presently, the City does not service surrounding areas of
unincorporated Seminole ounty with the exception of a single commercial property, Gould's
Publications, located on S.R. 17-92 north of Shepard Road.
In 2001, a Water and Waste tel' Rate Study for the City of Winter Springs was initiated. The
primary objective of the study rill be to identify the appropriate impact fees for potable water and

and Ta e IV-B-l summarizes the plant capacities and current demand.
Water Tr tment Plants
The East '\ er Treatment Plant (\XlTP-l) is located at 851 Northern Way. This
facility service the eastern half of the City. The maximum design capacity of this
treatment plant currently 6.0 million gallons per day. The current average demand
on the EWTP is '/.615 million gallons per day. This plant has several support
facilities, including: ree (3) wells (1 @ 1,200 GPM and 2 @ 2,000 GPM), three (3)
high service pumps .ated @ 2,400, 2,600 and 3,350 GPM), and two (2) above
ground storage tanks (0. - and 1.0 million gallon capacity).
The West Water Treatmen Plant consists of two separate plants (WTP-2 & \vrP-3)
located at separate sites. -2 is located at 700 Sheoah Boulevard. \v'TP-3 is
located at 110 West Bahama venue. Together, these facilities service the western
portion of the City. The ma .mum design capacity for both treatment plants
combined is 6.0 million gallons p day. The current demand on the plants (\vrP-2
& WTP-3) is 1.627 million gallon per day. The follO\\ling support facilities are
provided at each plant: two (2) wells TP-2: 2 @ 1100 GPM, WTP-3: 1100 GPM
& 1800 GPM), three (3) high service umps (rated @ \XlTP-2: 2500 GPM, 900
GPM, & 1200 GPM, W'TP-3: 250 GPM, 950 GPM & 850 GPM), a
hydropneumatic tank and a 500,000-gallon round storage tank.
Combined, these two treatment plants have maximum pumping capacity which is
limited by the City of Winter Springs Consu tive Use Permit (permit no. 2-117-
0029NGM3R) as issued by the St. Johns River Water Management District. This
permit, which expires in October of 2006, allows r a combined annual withdrawal
of 1598.7 million gallons for 2001,1.653.5 million ons for 2002,1719.2 million
gallons for 2003, 1792.2 million gallons for 2004, 18 4.4 million gallons for 2005,
and 1963.7 million gallons for 2006.
Public Potable Water Storage Facilities
The City has four (4) ground storage tanks connected to he central system as
described above. The capacity of each storage tank is identified. Table IV-B-4.
Public Distribution System
All of three of the water treatment plants are connected to the in distribution
system. This central distribution system consists of water mains rangin in size from
2 inches to 16 inches. The vast majority of the distribution system conSl s primarily
of six (6), eight (8), ten (10) and twelve (12) inch mains. The predomina material

protection by the St. Johns River Water]\ nagement District and the FDEP.
The Floridan "~quifer in the \XTinter Springs rea receives low to moderate recharge
from the surficial aquifer. This is due to water ble elevation differences between the
surficial aquifer and the Floridan Aquifer and t e vertical hydraulic conductivity of
the soils. The transmissi'l--ity is sufficiently high s h that most large diameter wells,
twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) inches, can be expec d to produce over 1,500 gallons
per minute (GPM) with little draw down in the we and little impact to adjacent
users. Drawdowns in the surficial aquifer are estimate to be very low, due to the
Hawthorn Formation. In order to lessen the interfere ce between wells, a five
hundred (500) foot minimum spacing between wells is mal tained. At that distance
the draw down in one well due to another will be minimal.
Public Level of Service
The central system currently treats an average of 4.193 million g ons per day of
potable water. The existing level of service for potable water dema d is calculated
by di'l--iding the volume of water treated and pumped by the City's po ulation. The
current level of service provided is estimated to be 123 gallons per cap a per day.
This amount is for residential and non-residential combined.

Potable Wa r Capacity Surpluses and Deficiencies
a.
The evaluation of n essary systems to meet domestic and commercial consumptive
demand is based upon he entire system's ability to meet peak hour flow. Presently,
the ability of the City's stem to meet the consumptive demand is controlled by the
maximum permitted pum 'ng capacity as limited by the City's Consumptive Use
permit from the SJR\X'MD.
The City of Winter Springs's ntral system is currently providing 4.193 MGD,
average daily flow. The system n s a maximum capacity of 12.0 MGD. Therefore,
there is an estimated 7.8 million gall s per day of surplus capacity, which is available
for additional connections. Therefore, e central system has the capacity to serve all
of the existing residential and non-resi tial units that are currently connected to
private systems or private wells.
To date, the City has not identified any level f service related existing deficiencies
~thin the potable water treatment and . stribution system. The Capital
Improvements Program identifies various projects cheduled to be completed \Ji1.thin
the next five years. Many of these projects represe improvements to provide for
facility upgrades or existing maintenance requirements. The City does not currently
reserve future capacity for developments other than thos agreements made prior to
the City's purchase of the utilities.
b. Future Demand Capacity
Future water demand was forecast based on City population projec . ons. The level of
service standard used in the calculation is 115 gallons per capita per
The potable water demand was projected for the years 2005 and 2010 y the City's
Engineering & Community Development department and was prepared p 'or to the
2000 Census. By 2005, the demand is projected to be 4.84 MGD, increasin to 6.01
MGD by the year 2010. As previously stated, the cumulative maximum sign
capacity of the three \VfP's is 12.0 MGD and the maximum capacity of all the . h
service pumps is 24.84 MGD. Therefore, the City's central system has the capacl '

INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
to service the projected gro'W'th. However, the City will be required to increase the
maximum permitted \vithdrawal volume when it renews the Consumptive Use
permit in 2006 in order to meet the projected demand.
A detailed list of capital projects required to meet future service demand through
fiscal year 2005-2006 and eliminate expected deficiencies is presented in the Capital
Improvements Element.
Fire Protection
In a . tion to domestic and commercial demand, the City has identified the need to
rate th water system in terms of its ability to provide fire protection. To rate the
water sys m in terms of fire protection, the City has embraced the fire protection
standards the NFP A (National Fire Protection Association) and the ISO
(Insurance Se rices Office).
Recommended re protection level of service standards for each land use
designation has 0 en established. A tiered approach is applied to meet fire
protection level of se rice (LOS) standards.
In order to identify area: of possible deficiency in meeting the fire protection LOS,
fire department hydrant w test data was analyzed in selected areas of the City. To
date, only one (1) deficiency xists in the system and it shall be eliminated by the end
of 2002 when the S.R. 434 2" water main from Spine Road to Vistawilla is
constructed. This improvement roject is listed within the Capital Improvements
Program.
2. Performance and Condition of Exis . ng Facilities
The water quality from the Floridan aquifer is s ficiently good and only requires aeration
and cWorination treatment to prmride potable wate Additionally, Ortho-Poly-Phosphate is
added to allow for corrosion control at \IY'TP-1.
Each of the City's three water treatment plants have nsistently operated in compliance
with all criteria established by the FDEP and Departm t of Health and Rehabilitative
Senrices with respect to public water supplies.
All three of the City's water treatment plants (\X!TP-1, \X'TP-2 . \X'TP-3) were constructed
in 1972. Each plant continues to be operated and maintained in ood operating condition.
Repairs and/or upgrades to each plant are performed as require on an individual basis.
Each plant should have a minimum remaining useful life of 50 years.
a. Distribution System Performance
Overall, the performance of the distribution system is
maintenance is performed.

b. Public Well Performance
There is a slight reduction in pumping volumes when the water level drops in the
wells. Wells are rotated and consolidated daily by operating personnel.
3.
Potable Water Facility Replacement, Expansion and New Facility Siting
Reco nded capital projects to overcome existing deficiencies in water transmission, and
to provid system capacity needed for projected growth, are included in the Capital
Improveme Schedule. iill of the City's water treatment plants are programmed for
improvement ring the short term planning horizon. There are also several line extensions
programmed du g the short term planning horizon.
a.
Future wells sh d be between twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) inches in diameter
and be cased appr " ately 150 feet deep and be open from 150 to around 400 feet
to produce at least , 00 GPM. Wells in the south can be expected to require 300 to
350 feet of casing bec se of the soft nature of the limestone. The wells should be
spaced at least five hun ed (500) feet apart to minimize draw down impacts on the
other wells. The City antic' ates construction a new well to be located at WTP-l in
the near future.
