Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department Informing the City Commission of the Construction of a Potable
Water Emergency Interconnect with the City of Casselberry
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to inform the City Commission that the FDEP permit
has been received and construction will commence on an Emergency Potable Water
Interconnect with the City of Casselberry near the city limits on Murphy Road.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Potable Water Emergency Interconnections between adjacent utilities are good practice to
provide additional safety measures to ensure the availability of potable water and fire protection
to customers during emergencies. The Cities of Winter Springs, Casselberry and Oviedo
retained CPH Engineers to analyze pressure differentials, water quality issues and potential
locations.
The report was completed in July 2008 and one of the recommendations was for an
interconnection with Casselberry at the City limits area on Murphy Road. The proximity of
both utilities' lines and similarities in water quality make this a prime location for an emergency
interconnect. The permit was recently received from the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and project construction will be commencing in about 30 days by the field staffs of
Casselberry and Winter Springs.
A map of the proposed location is attached. Aesthetics in this area is a concern and all
efforts including landscaping where possible will be made to minimize the impact of those
sections which have above ground valves, piping and backflows. Additional interconnects are
still being discussed with Oviedo. Because Oviedo disinfects with chloramines (a combination
of chlorine and ammonia), the potential for objectionable water quality as well as the harmful
impact on dialysis patients is a significant concern because in an emergency situation we may
not be able to properly notice those individuals.
