ITEM #8 Potable/Reclaimed Water
To be discussed under Discussion items
ITEM #9 - Arsenic
Chair Inquired about the Arsenic issue.
Mr. Stowell said he read the articles regarding the ban on arsenic. Mr. Stowell stated a concern
about the playground at Long Center that is on City-owned property. Lab testing of the ground
and the levels of arsenic were higher away from the playground area then at the playground.
This was possibly caused by pesticide. Mr. Miller stated this is timely because the NPDES report
is due in May and one of the areas they are interested in is what has the City been doing to
diminish the use of pesticide and herbicide and what other alternatives could be used to reduce
the harm that may be caused to the environment. This Board cou,ld take leadership action and
make recommendations. We can receive NPDS credifif thE)Y see the Board has taken action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mr. Stowell recommended that the EAB be provided with copies of
the recent soil 'tests from the Long' Center Soccer Field and to further consider this issue at .the
next meeting.
ACTION: By EAB consensus, Mr. Miller agreed to revisit this issue with the Board and to provide
, the requested information.

\..." ,Discussion Items
ITEM #10 - Reclaimed Water master Plan Update
The chair recognized Mr. Neff to give a slide presentation on the Reclaimed Water Master Plan
Update, which included the current status of projeCts, explanation of funding and fees. Island
Estates was completed in 1999. North Clearwater Beach In 2000 and South Clearwater Beach in
2001. Staff is currently constructing intercoastal transmission line replacement under Clearwater
Harbor, also working on pumping and storage facilities at the northeast plant. Reclaimed service
lines are under construction along the north Greenwood corridor. Staff is currently trying to pick
up large businesses In the downtown area and getting ready to initiate design in Harbor Oaks.
This program is set up to match with the way SWFWMD parcels out their grants. The total cost
of implementing over the next 20 years totals a little over $100,000,000. Seville will be the next
area after Harbor Oaks. At this point, supply and demand will be about equal. After that we will
need to look into restrictions in the use of reclaimed water, seasonal storage or combination of
the two. ' Reclaimed water revenues fund only 10% of the City reclaimed water program. The
balance is funded by water and sewer (over half) and SWFWMD grant funding for the balance.
Rates are comparable to other communities in the area. ,
Mr. Rhame questioned the use of aquifers for storage. Mr. Neff explained briefly but stated that
there will be a presentation on aquifers In the future.
