H. Paul Senft, Jr. Polk oor,glas B. Tharp As .part of the above referenced amendment package, the City of Clearwater sumter has submitted a Water Plan (Potable WaterSub Element) along with a ,udith c. whitenead schedule. of Capital Improvements to be incorporated into the Utilities Hernando Element of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan. However, it is not clear if ' this amendment (08RWSP1) is meant to satisfy the requirements of adopting °avia `' M°ore: . a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for a minimum Ten Year planning Executive Director wiuiams:Biienky horizon set forth in Chapter 163.3177(6)(c), F.S. The amendment does not General counsel specify a planning horizon; many of the data. tables -are for varying time periods, and several maps (Maps 5 and 6) were missing from the packet. The Level of Service outlined in the plan only goes through 2015 and some tables only project through 2010. Furthermore; the City's long range Water Supply. Master Plan that is referred to in the review materials was not included in the amendment packet and it is somewhat unclear what the difference is between the included Potable Water Sub Element and the Water Supply Master Plan. The City should clearly define responsibilities for planning, financing, construction, and operation of the water supply facilities by all entities providing service within its jurisdiction for a minimum 10 year period. Further documentation (at least by reference) should be included to illustrate the - City's potable water agreement and concurrency planning with Pinellas County, and the City's emergency potable water. agreement with the City of St. Petersburg to validate the terms of these relationships. Also, all District Water Use Permit information should be included in the Potable Water Sub Element including permit number(s), quantities, expiration dates, etc. It is important that future withdrawals of groundwater (fresh or brackish) are planned and operated in a manner that is environmentally responsible and ®Po cs {onsumer Waste * • Ray Eubanks July 14, 2008 Page 2 sustainable. Therefore, the District recommends additional wellhead protection policy language and an updated wellhead protection area map in the Work Plan. The City is located within the Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area, where groundwater resources are insufficient to provide for increases in potable water demand. Therefore, the District recommends further language to support conservation and alternative water sources, and the City should quantify conservation programs in more detail to reflect water savings and potable water offset. The Regional Water Supply Plan (RWSP) and associated Appendices provide important information regarding water resource constraints, potential sources (traditional and alternative), regional partnerships, demand projections, conservation options, and quantifiable conservation and reclaimed water data. To access the RWSP and the Appendices (4 and 5), please visit: http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/documents/plans/ RWSP. Finally, the District commends the City for conducting several water conservation programs, in-school education programs, and utilizing reclaimed water but further emphasis should be placed on public education and messaging campaigns (e:g., Water C.H.A.M.P.), land use ordinances, and complying with the District's year-round conservation measures as required by Chapter 40D-22, F.A.C. For more information on water conservation including many practical options, please visit the District's on-line library at www.conservationinfo.orq. The District appreciates the opportunity to participate in the review of comprehensive plan amendments. Please note that this review does not constitute permit approval under Chapter 373, Florida Statutes~(F'.S.), or any rules promulgated thereunder, nor does it stand in lieu of normal permitting procedures in accordance with Florida Statutes and District rules.

The City should retain references to Tampa Bay Water (TBA) in Policies 21.2.1 (coordinate building code revisions) and 21.2.6 (assist efforts to augment existing water supplies and provide for future needs). o Policies 21.2.1 and 21.2.6 have been revised to retain TBA references as per the comment.

The fundamental purpose of a water supply plan is to ensure that the community is able to supply quality drinking water of a sufficient quantity for current and future needs. The statutory requirements call for each local government in the planning region to adopt amendments to its comprehensive plan to incorporate their water supply plan within 18 months after the approval of the regional water supply plan. The City's regional district, the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), approved its plan on November 30, 2006. Therefore, the deadline for the City's amendment is May 34, 2008. This amendment is exempt from the twice a year limitation for large-scale amendments. The consulting firm of Wade Trim was retained by the City to draft an updated "Potable Water Element" (sub-element to the Utility Element) to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan based on the City's 2004 Water Master Plan produced by Parsons Water and Infrastructure, Inc. According to the plan, based on population and density projections, the City will be functionally capable of providing water through the year 2025.

Objectives and Policies Utilities Utility Needs Summary The following summarizes the Utility Element: Sanitary Sewer • Rainfall during the rainy season exerts the greatest influence in producing peak wastewater flows or infiltration. The City has embarked on an extensive evaluation of the sanitary sewer system. The information for the evaluation will be included in a Master Plan which will direct the lining and replacement of the older sewer lines. • The Marshall Street treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and twenty-four {124) gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). • The Clearwater East treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and fourteen (114) gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). The East plant and Northeast plant are cortnected by a two-way force main. • The Northeast Regional Wastewater treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and forty eight (148) gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). • Clearwater's projected peak population in 2010 will be 135,940 permanent and seasonal residents and guests. Sewage flow rates projected for 2010 will utilize seventy-four percent (74%) of the system capacity. • Clearwater has adequate sewage treatment, collection capacity and system redundancy to serve existing and planned development. Current total design capacity is twenty-eight and a half (28.5) MGD; with four MGD allocated to the City of Safety Harbor through interlocal agreement. • The City requires all new development to provide sanitary sewer systems to connect to appropriate sewage treatment districts. New septic tanks should not be permitted. Residents located in nearby unincorporated areas using septic tanks should connect to the City sewage system as sewer lines become available. Soil characteristics have moderate to severe limitations in areas where septic use has been identified. • Currently there are four (4} private treatment plants in areas adjacent to the City. As these "package treatment plants" become inoperable the City should encourage those needing sanitary sewer service to connect to the City sewage system. The City should continue to require annexation into the City when connecting to the City sewer system. • Clearwater has undertaken major pumping station replacement and upgrades for pumping stations located throughout the city. Betty Lane was replaced in 1997, Sand Key will be operational within the calendar year and Morton Plant shall be completed by 2000. Upgrades to twenty four (24) additional pumping stations will be completed based on the recommendations from the Pump Station Capital Improvement Report. The remaining stations will be evaluated and a scheduled renewal and replacement program will be developed. D-1 Goals. Objectives and Policies Utilities Solid Waste The Florida Solid Waste Management Act of 1988 (Chapter 88-130, Laws of Florida) required all local governments to reduce their solid waste stream by thirty percent (30%) by 1994. The reduction has been achieved and exceeded with the reduction in the 1999 waste stream at forty- five percent (45%). This end was achieved by the utilization of source separation and recycling of glass, newspaper, plastic, cardboard, office paper, other metals and aluminum containers. This effort includes cormercial, multi-family and single-family residential recyclables. Recovered materials from the commercial waste stream are available to registered private recovered materials dealers on an open competitive basis. • The City of Clearwater has entered into an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County to assist the County in accomplishing responsibilities emanating from the recycling program mandated by the State. • The City of Clearwater adopted an ordinance in April 1999 regarding the screening of all dumpsters and recycling containers which is estimated to be completed by 2005. This initiative, amongst other components includes an incentive program to complete the process by the schedule date. • Voluntary cooperation and participation in the residential curbside source separation program is imperative to the success of the program and will depend on the willingness of City residents. Public awareness and education programs are important elements to motivate the citizenry to maintain their support and participation in the residential curbside separation program. • The recycling of used office paper generated by City of Clearwater personnel will contribute to the preservation of natural resources and will continue to be a source of revenue for the City to help offset the cost of office paper. • The necessity to monitor market fluctuations for the price of recyclable materials should be reviewed. at all times; this should accompany a regular and continuous market evaluation to optimize revenue received. • The solid waste Level of Service is based on a demand of seven and twelve one hundredths (7.12) pounds per capita per day. • Clearwater residents should continue to partake in the utilization of the Pinellas County small quantity generator disposal site for hazardous/toxic waste materials for households and small generators of hazardous wastes. The City should also promote the Household Chemical Collection program that is held on an annual basis. D-2 Goals, Objectives and Policies Utilities Stormwater Management • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to monitor the stormwater management utility fee rate structure and amend it as required to remain competitive and maintain an adequate funding source to provide revenue for flood control, maintenance, retrofitting, and treatment of storrrtwater. In addition to the hydraulic improvements, this would improve the quality of Stormwater discharging into surface waters, and will complement the measures proposed in the Surface Water Improveme~tt and Management (SWIM) program and the Tampa Bay National Estuary Program to improve surface water quality standards. • The City of Clearwater needs to take advantage of any alternative funding opportunities that may become available from any State agency with regard to watershed management and/or general stormwater improvements. • T'he City of Clearwater needs to continue to reduce flooding problems and strive for abatement of flood damage to houses and streets. • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to coordinate Stormwater management improvement efforts with Pinellas County and other incorporated areas adjacent to Clearwater City limits for both water quality and attenuation. • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to maintain, correct deficiencies and improve, where necessary, current levels of service. Maintenance and improvement of the City stormwater management system must be recognized as a service provided by the City on a regular and continuous basis. • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to prepare stormwater management plans which will identify and prioritize the implementation of programs to improve and enhance stormwater quality and quantity. • Natural and man-made wetlands need to be utilized for Stormwater storage and protected as natural resources. Wetlands provide a natural wildlife habitat and groundwater recharge functions which are pivotal characteristics of the natural and urbanized environment. Such features are firmly established within Clearwater's quality of life values. • The City of Clearwater must continue to obtain appropriate permits from all environmental regulatory agencies prior to implementation of water resource projects. • The City of Clearwater needs to research and develop new methods that are technically, environmentally, and economically viable of treating Stormwater runoff before final discharge to improve and enhance local surface waters. • The city needs to proceed forward in its planning, design and engineering of the proposed downtown lake which has been included in the City's twenty year Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The proposed lake will serve as a basin for Stormwater attenuation and water quality management, as well as enhancing the aesthetic beauty of the downtown area. D-3 Goals Objectives and Policies Utilities The City of Clearwater needs to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (NFIP/CRS). Clearwater has been an active participant siutce 1990. Potable Water and Natural Ground Water Aquifer Recharge Needs Clearwater has maintained an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County since 1955 with approximately eighty-percent (80%) of its water supply emanating from the County. The City also maintains a water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) to pump a maximum of 8 million gallons daily (MGD) from its eighteen active wellheads. The decline in the ability to produce potable water from Clearwater wells is becoming evident. Clearwater cannot maintain its existing levels of service to meet the City's potable water demand without purchasing approximately eight to twelve MGD. The actual average pumpage from wells is approximately 3 MGD. In order to meet the city's future potable water supply needs, several alternative actions must be explored and initiated both individually or in combination with other water supply source alternatives. Cost benefit analysis will be necessary for each alternative in order of priority. • Conservation of potable water supplies is of paramount importance to the City. Clearwater will continue to support Pinellas County and participate in the immediate action to provide for new potable water supplies at a reasonable cost. • Clearwater must continue to utilize and provide efficient use of reclaimed water for irrigation purposes for both public and private use. Furthermore, it must constantly evaluate its approach to the desalination of marine water using reverse osmosis technology to provide a form of potable water backup for periods of drought, and when natural groundwater levels drop to critically low levels. . • Clearwater shall continue to explore and participate proportionately in the regionaVand or County desalination andl or reverse osmosis alternative strategies. • The City needs to continue to recognize potable water as a scarce resource and to continue to operate the water utility prudently in implementing both conservation and consumption objectives. The current water consumption rate is approximately one hundred and twenty (120) gallons gallons/person/day, which includes both the seasonal and permanent population of Clearwater and is inclusive of both City produced water and County purchased water. • The City needs to continue to coordinate with the Southwest Florida Management District (SWFWMD) in the study to determine surficial groundwater direction and flow at various depths. Groundwater data will continue to be needed to determine future well sites and conditions of subsurface transmissivity. This data will be an important tool for management of Clearwater's wellhead operation to determine the City's ability to continue to provide future water supplies. The City, in conjunction with the City's Water Use Permit, needs to continue to develop an ultimate well head plan including well configurations, pumping schedules and locations. This is needed to assure the continued supply of the City's water use permit, which is expected to be reduced to six (6) MGD from Clearwater wells. D-4 Goals, Objectives and Policies Utilities The City needs to continue to implement the recommendations from the A] ligator Creek study. The City needs to continue with its public education program to make the public aware of the value of reclaimed water use.

The City of Clearwater is permitted through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to own and operate a Public Water System providing potable water service to the population within its service area. The City holds a Water Use Permit (WUP) from the Southwest Florida Water Management District to withdraw groundwater from the Floridan aquifer. Historic and current local production of potable water by the City is insufficient to meet the demand of the consumers within the service area. The City entered into an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County dating back to 1955 to meet this additional demand through wholesale purchase of potable water. As of 2008, the City is experiencing an annual average demand of 13.5 millions gallons per day (MGD). The City is locally producing an average of 3.7 MGD and purchasing 9.8 MGD from Pinellas County. The current Water Supply Master Plan (Parsons, 2004) includes three major capital improvements projects that are in various phases of implementation. Acceptance of these projects were based upon an analysis that indicated that the additional water locally produced would have a cost per unit volume that is less than the future year purchase price from the regional supplier (Pinellas County). Those options that were found to be more expensive were eliminated fi•om consideration. The first and most cost effective project involved an expansion of the current well field owned and operated by the City of Clearwater. Ten new wells, four relocated (out of service} wells and three rehabilitations of existing wells are included in this project that is intended to initially bring the City up to its permitted withdrawal amount of 6.25 MGD and subsequently seek additional capacity through a modification of its water use pe-•mit of an additional 1.25 MGD. The second project will involve an expansion to the existing reverse osmosis (RO) plant at Water Treatment Plant (WTP) 1 increasing production by I.0 MGD to a total capacity of 4.0 MGD. The third project includes a new reverse osmosis plant at WTP No. 2 that will provide 3.5 MGD of treatment capacity bringing the City's total production to 10 MGD (after treatment losses), reducing the reliance upon purchased water from the regional supplier. While the City is continuing to move forward with the three identified capital improvements projects, there are other options that continue to be analyzed as the data becomes available and as emerging technologies are brought forward in the water supply industry. The first of the two major options currently under consideration involve the R/O Plant at Reservoir #2 - a cost benefit over time financial analysis will be conducted to weigh treatment of groundwater from zone A of the Floridan aquifer versus a higher level of treatment of groundwater from zone B. The second option under consideration involves a financial analysis of indirect potable re-use. It is believed that this option could be permitted under current state regulations but would involve significant capital expenditures and a significant public education campaign. 4 BACKGROUND Historical The City of Clearwater is a incorporated municipality in Pinellas County, located on the central west coast of Florida between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. The City was settled in l 830, incorporated in 1915 as the County Seat and currently has a permanent population near 110,000 persons. The climate and location near beaches and other destinations contributes to a healthy tourist population and when coupled with seasonal residents, the functional population totals 140,000 for 2008. Wellfield The City has endeavored to serve the public needs for water and sewer utilities dating back to the 1920's when the first wells were put into service for public supply. Over the years and as the City's population grew, more wells were drilled near the most densely populated areas, mainly near downtown and the bluff area. By the 1960's however, many of the early wells had started to fail with increased chloride, iron, and total dissolved solids (TDS) levels beyond what was deemed acceptable for public consumption and the wellfield expanded to the northeast where most of the wellfield is currently located. The topography and hydrogeology of the region has proved that the best quality groundwater is located between "central" Clearwater and the countryside area as indicated in Figure 2.1. The City continued to be limited to the withdrawal of fresh groundwater requiring minimal treatment and purchasing treated potable water from Pinellas County. With the advent ofcost-effective membrane technologies, the City implemented a capital improvements project constructing the Reverse Osmosis Plant at Reservoir #1 and brought the facility into service in 2003. This facility enabled the City to utilize available resources that previously would have been unacceptable and was produced at a rate that is beneficial to the City and its customers long term. Treatment Plants a) RO Plant No.l -This facility is located at 1657 Palmetto just west of Saturn Drive. The plant includes a pretreatment process train, reverse osmosis process skids, a five million gallon finished water storage reservoir and a high service pumping station. b) WTP No. 2 is located at 21133 US Highway 19 North. The facility has minimal chemical treatment, a five million gallon finished water storage reservoir and a high service pumping station. c) WTP No. 3 is located at 2775 State Road 580 just east of Countryside Boulevard. This facility has minimal chemical treatment capabilities, two (2) five million gallon finished water storage reservoirs and a high service pump station. Interlocal Agreements a) Pinellas County -the most recent agreement was executed by both parties in 2004 and has a term of 35 years. Currently, 8.1 MGD of water from Pinellas County is retreated at WTP Nos. 2 and 3 (1.5 and 6.6 MGD respectively at WTP Nos 2 and 3) on average. The balance of the water demand needed to serve the City of Clearwater is met through the interconnects located on Sand Key and along the southern boundary of Clearwater directly entering the distribution system (2.0 MGD). b) St. Petersburg - an emergency connection between Clearwater's and St. Petersburg's water systems is located on SR 60 east of US ] 9 North. The 5 connection was installed for the mutual benefit of both municipalities. Exchange of water through this connection has never been used. Population Projections and Water Demands Based upon the analysis and projections derived in the 2004 Water Supply Master Plan, the functional populations and corresponding projected demands have been updated as shown in the table below: s..n.~nf lfr cvvdl M l:T~1 .'1%. ,4 3:f• .. .~~ ! s}a0~ r5§{IS >~ !.Slay ;'e;l ~ ;. . ..., nr,r...re. e.. -x..n. ...+ .qix X la.NUar Allmnt n'.rnleurf n>Jga:!::r ulh a fA P: 9'i:rc:-fn:hh ;Lrf:~..Xf %P n•':. aeh ae~rfanhMlrf/ba- ST.fI'IMMt9r:!A'>rr.I~ r.~w. ~.,. ae ar.a ~ :en t r aaa-e,f n rt •> e adf+lttncm»n n l amen a n:.r:n leaf n N p o-a: r nYa s r ,1 %.: x~..n:frwoz: krtur. rnr...•ar: K aAe:r r".ti uH a.Y:m:nKr•tNn+Vh. rw'rr a0 r>.Mnls ~f ewN>•^.a p) h!e1 .tanla E:~sn1Y.i'wnle Yf! .,u!ta,r..+fJxrr *Table 7 generated by Wade-Trim (September 2008) For consistency, the City of Clearwater will continue to plan utilizing Scenario No.l for demand projects through the next 10 year planning horizon and assume 13 MGD as an anticipated annual average daily flow. f~c-xurnaf ~:+et ~:mnaf o: ;rw a.n>..! anR •[eMn tf N{onpn ]:a. r n Y.~ n+n'ii+;rr:-.~t :•am!fr•raae+eN.r.r~rr.~~ t•4Aifnryr 4YTn'ft'>:aP]t]I~a[~t.MnM1gf ,a-a.men,ya•. oe~. r 9!ujenef innuai.r.raSe Drfy Oam fnd S:fnl.ria 1 If] SYSyJ!610,Cft1) S:nr.xru t (38 faf f r610,000~ 6 2008 EXISTING CONDTfIONS Wellfield At the time of this report the City owns and operates a wellfield that produces water meeting only 27% of the City's demand. There are l9 active wells that are currently producing a total of 3.7 million gallons per day (MGD). The locations of the existing production wells are illustrated in Figure 3.1 on the following page. Treatment Plants a) RO Plant No. 1 -receives water from 10 active and existing .production wells. The wells provided an average of 1.8 MGD of raw water for the year 2007. 1.3 MGD are run through the R/O plant to produce 1.0 MGD of permeate that is blended with the remaining 0.5 MGD for a total of 1.5 MGD of potable water delivered to the distribution system. There is no Pinellas County interconnect serving this facility. The raw water is pretreated through multi-media filters to remove iron, arsenic, and other solids. In addition to pre-treatment and RO processes the facility has a 5.0 MG above ground storage tank, chloramination facilities for disinfection, a polyphosphate storage and feed system and a high service pumping station. b) WTP No. 2 -receives raw water from three active wells requiring minimal treatment and blending with potable water from Pinellas County's interconnect located west of WTP No.2. The wells typically provide 0.6 MGD that mix with 1.5 MGD from the County for a total of 2.1 MGD. The facility has a 5.0 MG above ground storage tank, chloramination facilities for disinfection, a polyphosphate storage and feed system and a high service pumping station. c) WTP No. 3 -receives raw water from six active wells requiring minimal treatment and blending with potable water from Pinellas County's interconnect. On an average daily basis, the wells currently provide 1.3 MGD that mix with 6.6 MGD from the County for a total of 7.9 MGD. The facility has two 5.0 MG above ground storage tanks, chloramination facilities for disinfection, a polyphosphate storage and feed system and a high service pumping station. ** As noted in the previous section, the remaining quantity of water required to meet the City's overall water demand is met through interconnects with the Pinellas County Water system. PREVIOUS ANALYSES AND ACCEPTED PLANS WATER SUPPLY SOURCE ALTERNATIVES (March 2000, McKim & Creed) At the time of this report, the City of Clearwater was entertaining sale of its water supply production facilities and becoming a customer of Tampa Bay Water. Various options were evaluated as listed below: 1. Scenario 1 -Tampa Bay Water (TBW) develops 5.0 MGD brackish water treatment facility and City sells its water supply facilities 2. Scenario 2 -City implements treatment improvements to produce 4.0 MGD of ground water supply; TBW project is not implemented 3. Scenario 3 -This option includes the creation of a new water supply source to combine the scenarios outlined above. The options are outlined in three variations: a. Scenario 3a -City develops 3.0 MGD of surface water from Alligator Creek to combine with 1.0 MGD of groundwater. TBW develops the 5.0 MGD brackish water facility b. Scenario 3b -City develops 3.0 MGD surface water from Alligator Creek to combine with 1.0 MGD of groundwater. An additiona13.0 MGD of groundwater is developed in central Clearwater. The TBW facility is not constructed. c. Scenario 3c -City develops 3.0 MGD surface water from Alligator Creek to combine with 1.0 MGD of groundwater. No other supplies are developed in the City. After receipt of this report, it was decided by City staff and City Management that the City would retain its water supply system ownership and seek to increase local production of potable water utilizing groundwater. This decision lead to the design and construction of the wellfield rehabilitation and the Reverse Osmosis Plant at Reservoir #1. WATER MASTER PLAN -CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IMPLEMENTATION MASTER PLAN (October 2004, Parsons Engineering Science) This effort analyzed the existing hydrologic conditions of City and other available resources to identify capital improvements projects that would enable the City of Clearwater to locally produce water at a cost less than anticipated purchase rates through the purchasing agreement with Pinellas County. The results of the analysis resulted in the current plan and as listed below: 1. Welifield expansion for WTP No. 3 adding 1.0 MGD 2. Wellfield expansion forl and expansion of RO Plant No.l adding 1.0 MGD 3. Additional wells and a new RO Facility at WTP No. 2 adding 3.5 MGD 8 2007 CHANGES TO CAPTITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN TREATMENT FACILITIES 1. Wellfield Exaansion -WTP Nos.l & 3 The City initiated design of this critical project once staff had confidence that Chloride Cap Study was going to be successful in modifying the constraints of the old Water Use Permit. Chloride Monitoring had been being performed at the production wellsand had a "cap" of 250 mg/l. If any production well was observed to have chlorides that exceeded this trigger level, the City was required to rest the well (take it out of service). The modification to the permit requested that the monitoring locations be relocated to the monitoring well network to more accurately reflect the intent of the permit constraint. The issue of elevated chlorides is a potential impact to other permitted well users and not necessarily a constraint of water quality, particularly when you consider that City's treatment facility is designed to remove just these types of constituents from the raw water. After the permit was modified, the City moved forward with the expansion project, which originally was conceived to include nine new wells, five for WTP No.l and four serving WTP No.3. After reviewing the preliminary data and hydraulic analysis of the existing raw water network, staff decided to modify the project intending to construct ten new wells, five each for WTP Nos. 1 and 3, as well as drill four new wells that had been permitted in the past but were either not drilled or had become inoperative, and rehabilitate three existing wells that were underperforming. This represents a combined effort of expansion and a final phase of the wellfield maximization effort that staff had been performing in-house for the last four years. 2. Reverse Osmosis Plant No.l - An additional 1.0 MGD of treatment capacity of low quality "fresh" groundwater from Lower Zone A of the Floridan Aquifer will increase the total production capacity of this facility to 4.0 MGD. The City of Clearwater owns and operates an existing reverse osmosis plant at WTP No. 1 with two skids designed to produce 1.0 MGD of permeate (filtered) water per skid. The wellfield that serves this facility has been unable to reliably deliver the necessary raw water to run both skids on a regular basis due to a variety of reasons. The City has taken numerous steps over the past decade to increase its productions levels, but have experienced limited success as described below. To reinforce the complexities of producing sustainable volumes of water, consider that dating back to 1998, the City was entertaining giving up its water production rights to join a regional water supply entity. After much deliberation, the decision was made by staff and approved by City Management to retain our ability to produce and supply water. At that time, a comprehensive effort to rehabilitate the well field ensued in the anticipation of design and construction of the now existing treatment facility. Although the design considered the existing well field and its production limitations, it was felt that through rehabilitation, upgrades and minor modifications to the City Water Use Permit, there would be sufficient water delivered to the then proposed plant for it to be fully functional. However, operation of both skids of the plant require 3.6 MGD of raw water 9 on a consistent basis. Electrical, mechanical, hydrogeological and permit constraints have severely limited operations staff from maximizing production. In 2007, the plant ran for most of the year at half capacity. The Wellfield Expansion Project for WTP Nos.l & 3 will go to bid in October of 2008 and is intended to add the needed volume of raw feed water to allow the R/O Plant to operate at design capacity. Assuming similar operating conditions, only when the wellfield can reliably deliver 5.2 MGD of raw feed water, will it be prudent to expand the existing plant. This is determined by the 3.0 MGD of filtered permeate that three skids would produce, the 1.3 MGD of blend water required to maintain water quality consistency for the health of the transmission and distribution system, and the 0.9 MGD of brine/discharge/waste from the treatment process. It should also be noted that the expansion that increases the waste discharge stream will cause further stress upon the wastewater treatment facilities that currently receive the waste product. This has the effect of potentially disrupting the wastewater treatment process and impacting the quality of the reclaimed water that is produced after APCF treatment. It has always been considered that the expansion of the existing plant would include a discharge piping connection to a alternative discharge point rather than entering the wastewater stream. The most recent plan includes deep well injection yet to be designed but prelirrrinarily proposed to be located at or near the East APCF and/or Northeast APCF that would also serve the discharge from the future RO Plant No.2. 3. Reverse Osmosis Plant No. 2 -Will provide an additional 3.5 MGD of treatment capacity for low quality fresh groundwater from Upper Zone A of the Floridan Aquifer. The first phase of this project has been designed to include three test production wells in the southern portion of Clearwater, each including a monitoring well cluster (2 deep and one shallow for a total of twelve wells). During the design of the test wells, staff recommended that an analysis be performed with real data comparing a plant designed to treat "fresh" water from upper Zone A of the Floridan aquifer versus a plant designed to treat brackish water from the deeper Zone B. The tabletop discussion centers around the varying water quality of Zone A water over time and the presumed additional costs associated with treating lower quality water with higher chlorides and TDS. The pending analysis will include projections of water quality over time based upon actual water quality data retrieved from the test wells. The pilot test (phase two) will be performed to determine necessary treatment levels based on the selected option. 4. Indirect Potable Re-use -The City of Clearwater owns and operates three advanced Pollution Control Facilities providing tertiary treatment of wastewater. The effluent water produced as a result of this advanced treatment supplies the current reclaimed water system that offsets irrigation and other non-potable needs. Regulations (Florida Administrative Code, Ch 62-610) allow for water supply agencies to permit aquifer recharge through a process called indirect potable re-use. The intent of the process is to significantly supplement natural recharge of the groundwater system negating any potential impact that could be caused by permitted withdrawal, protecting the groundwater source from degradation over time due to saltwater intrusion, and/or allowing for greater permitted withdrawal after receiving "credits" for the recharge volumes. The reclaimed water must be purified with greater levels of treatment to meet drinking water quality standards before injection into the Floridan aquifer. Elsewhere 10 and though the City's existing production wellfield, more groundwater could be withdrawn for potable water treatment considering the net impact to aquifer water levels, aquifer water quality characteristics and less potential impact to other permitted water users. Implementation of this process would require close coordination between the wastewater treatment facilities that produce the reclaimed water product, the Operations personnel that are responsible for the reclaimed water system, Operators of the new treatment facilities located at the Northeast APCF and the existing Water Treatment Plant Operations Group. A potential configuration for the City of Clearwater would involve similar post-tertiary treatment facilities at the NE and MS APCF's. The East Plant would either pump 100% into the RCW system, or discharge to the current outfall in Tampa Bay. Pressure set valves at NE and MS would either feed RCW demand or divert effluent flow to the new treatment trains. A second alternative that could be implemented would involve a transfer of surplus reclaimed water produced by the existing wastewater treatment process to Pasco County. The intent of this potential transfer would be to let the reclaimed water percolate through the ground and recharge the Floridan aquifer. The City would receive "paper credits" for the recharge that benefits the Pinellas peninsula allowing for a greater withdrawal allowance as part of the City's Water Use Permit. Capital improvements associated with this alternative would involve paying for a portion of the transmission pipeline, pumping facilities, power costs and potentially land right costs prior to construction. 11 Different Treatment Alternatives under Consideration 1. Option lA -Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis Plant at WTP No. 2 -Additional 6.0 MGD This option is a variation on the currently planned new groundwater plant to be located at WTP No.2. It would involve a wellfield in the same geographic area for the planned project, but have deeper wells providing more consistent brackish raw water for treatment. Deeper wells, higher but more consistent chloride levels, more expensive initial capital investment, longer life span, more available raw water, higher O&M cost due to higher treatment pressures required. 2. Option 2A -Hybrid Plant (fresh/brackish) Reverse Osmosis Plant at WTP No. 2 - Additional 4.5 MGD initially and ultimately 6.0 MGD - This option is a variation on the currently planned new groundwater plant to be located at WTP No.2. It would involve a wellfield in the same geographic area for the planned project, with wells that start out as freshwater but degrade over time to a high chloride raw water source. The Reverse Osmosis plant, wells and raw water system would be designed to maximize the cost-effective low-pressure water production while the available raw water lasted, but have elements included that would enable a transition to treatment with higher pressures of a more saline water source later on. This option may involve more capital costs on the front-end of the project as well as involve a significant upgrade in the future as the water quality degrades from fresh to brackish.. 3. Option 2B -High Pressure Reverse Osmosis Plant No.2 - a high volume brackish water RO Plant (~6-7 MGD) treating 8.0 MGD raw water based upon additional withdrawal allowances due to Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR} supplementing the permitted withdrawal for water supply. This option was brought about after elected officials tasked City staff with exploring IPR. The option as outlined in this document would involve additional treatment at the wastewater treatment effluent point, injection wells, and a larger RO plant to treat greater volumes of water. 12 FINANCIAL EVALUATION OF OPTIONS OVER TIME Figure 1-Cost Comparison of Options over time Figure 2- Actual costs for current production at Water Treatment Plant #1 Figure 3- Actual costs for current production at Water Treatment Plant #2 Figure 4- Actual costs for current production at Water Treatment Plant #3 Figure 5- Actual costs for current production at all Plants combined Figure 6 -Estimated future costs with build-out of CIP at WTP # 1 Figure 7 -Estimated future costs with build-out of CIP at WTP #2 Figure 8 -Estimated future costs with build-out of CIP at WTP #3 Figure 9 -Estimated future costs with build-out of CIP at all Plants combined Figure 10 -Estimated future costs for Option lA -Brackish WTP #2 Figure 11 -Estimated future costs for Option 2A -Hybrid WTP #2 Figure 12 -Estimated future costs for Option 2B -IPR and expanded WTP # 1 Figure 13 -Estimated future costs for Option 2B -IPR and expanded WTP #2 Figure 14 -Estimated future costs for Option lA -Total All Plants Figure 15 -Estimated future costs for Option 2A -Total All Plants Figure 16 -Estimated future costs for Option 2B -Total All Plants 13 CONCLUSIONS ANll RECOMMENDATIONS The City of Clearwater realizes its responsibility to provide a high quality, safe, healthy and aesthetically pleasing drinking water to its residents and customers within its service area. It also understands that it is a civic duty to provide this critical service in the most fiscally responsible way possible. Having considered the options and variables affecting the viability of each, it is staff's recommendation to proceed with the Capital Impxovements Program as outlined below: 1- Continue the current expansion of the City's wellfield serving WTP Nos. 1 and 3. This is immediately the most cost effective solution to increasing local production. 2- Initiate a cost benefit analysis considering financial feasibility implementing a system of Indirect Potable Reuse conceptually described in this document, also considering a SWFWMD backed transfer of surplus Reclaimed water to Pasco County. Either scenario would provide the City with "paper credits" for recharge allowing for a greater volume of raw water withdrawal as part of the future City's Water Use Permit. The preliminary cost data and budget values can assist City Management in determining whether or not to implement. This will effect withdrawal quantities in the next step - expanding the Water Treatment Plants 3- Continue the construction of test wells for the future RO plant at WTP No. 2. Obtain water quality and aquifer performance data from the different zones of the Floridan aquifer. Perform a financial analysis based on availability of raw water and associated water quality to determine plant size and level of treatment. Plant configurations likely to be analyzed include: a. a low pressure groundwater RO plant at ~3.5 MGD b. a higher pressure low quality fresh water source (groundwater) plant with brackish water raw water collection system designed to be upgraded as water quality changes (~4.0 MGD) c. a high volume brackish water RO plant (~6-7 MGD) Future Capital and O & M Cost Comparison IPR Water Treatment Plant No. 2 After Plant Construction (Post 2014) Operating Supplies Process Chemicals $ 394,048 Cleaning Chemicals $ 98,066 Carnidge Filters $ 9,710 Laboratory Expenses $ 9,078 Other eratina Ex enses $ 198,130 nergy Electrical $ 308,968 Labor Operating Labor $ 224,465 Mechanical Labor $ 19,503 Training $ 23,220 Contract Maintenance $ 8,500 Project Capital Costs $70,000,000 Current Water Production (1,000 gallons) 6,500 Cost Per 1,000 Gallons with Capital Cost Recovery* ~ 2.69 Cost Per 1,000 Gallons without Capital Cost Recovery $ 0.55 MGD 6.5 1000 gaUday 6500 2 $ 197,024 2 $ 49,033 2 $ 4,855 2 $ 4,539 2 $ 99,065 2 $ 154,484 34000000 36000000 #2 Wells permitted withdraw limit (MGD) future pumnei #2 RAW Cumulative Plant Tot. to distribution 45 0.5 500000 500000 4500000 6500000 46 0.5 500000 1000000 R/O Feed 53 0.5 500000 1500000 6000000 2-1 O.S 500000 2000000 % of design 2-2 0.5 500000 2500000 Brine Waste 100% 2-3 0.5 500000 3000000 1500000 2-4 0.5 500000 3500000 % of WUP Hermit 2-5 0.5 500000 4000000 City/County Blend 100% 2-6 0.5 500000 4500000 2000000 2-7 0.5 500000 5000000 2-8 0.5 500000 5500000 . 2-9 0.5 500000 ~ 6000000 2-10 0.5 500000 6500000 2-11 0.5 500000 7000000 2-12 0.5 500000 7500000 2-13 0.5 500000 8000000 8 City of Clearwater Adoption of the Amendment To the Utilities Element Data and Analysis: City of Clearwater "Potable Water Element" Document CPA2008-03002 DCA 08-RWSP1 Parable VV~~~r E~ert~r~~ x City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ~. -.`. ~. ~'° ~' t .;~ ~,. ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~D~~rn~~a~ city ~~ clealr~rat~r With the assistance of G~ WnnETiuM at~~e VlJater ~I~n~~nt ~.

""T"1` Pa~l~le i~`t~r ~~I~~In~t `~ City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan I, INTR~D1j~fiICIN According to Florida Administrative Code section 9j-5.011, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to assure that necessary public facilities and services correlate to future land' use projections. Furthermore, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to identify capital improvements and establish goals, objectives and policies that will ensure the City of Clearwater is able to supply quality drinking water of a sufficient quantity for current and future needs. The Potable Water Element focuses on the existing systems and facilities and projected system needs based on projected population growth and future land use in the City of Clearwater. This is accomplished through an inventory and analysis of existing data, identification of present and potential problems and their solutions, and projection of future potable water needs for specific planning periods. The City of Clearwater prepared the Water Master Plan in 2004. The plan was developed in two volumes: Volume I- Water System Assessment, and Volume II, Capital Improvements Implementation. These documents served as the primary basis to guide actions and capital improvements to expand, upgrade and maintain the system.' In 2008, the City prepared an update to the Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan to address population and demand projections until 2018 and ensure consistency with the recommendations of the 2006 Regional Supply Master Plan prepared by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Capital improvements scheduled within the 2004 document remained the same throughout 2012, taking into consideration that additional capacity required after the implementation of these projects is available from Pinellas County. The Potable Water Element has two functions: a) It complements the 2008 Water Master Plan update by providing the policy framework. Boih reports were prepared by Parsons Corporation ~fl~~l~ ~1~t~r ~~~~n~ ~ City of Cleartuater Cs~mpretsensie~e Plan b) It serves as the City comprehensive plan's Potable.

(b) No wellhead protection permit shall be issued unless the protection-containment plan and permit application fully addresses all contamination and safety matters to the satisfaction of the engineering director. A wellhead protection permit may be issued subject to conditions related to the protection of the public potable water supply. P'c~~~le ~Va~t~r ~emen~ ~~ City of Ctearv+rater Cz~m~rehensive Plan Section 9J-5.003, F.A.C. defines a potable water facility as a system of structures designed to collect, treat, or distribute potable water, and includes water wells, treatment plants, reservoirs, and distribution mains. The following section details the existing conditions of the City of Clearwater's water system, with the purpose of identifying future water system needs. 3.1 Operational Responsibility The City of Clearwater Water Division is a municipally operated water supplier, charged with the responsibility of administering the City's water utility. In 2007, the City of Clearwater Water Division supplied water to more than 140,000 customers. The division maintains 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 588 miles of water main in service.2 Users of the City of Clearwater water system consumed approximately 12.65 million gallons of potable water every day. Approximately 26 percent (3.3 million gallons) is pumped from City owned and operated groundwater wells3; the remaining 74 percent of the daily demand is supplied by water purchased from Pinellas County. Pinellas County also receives water supplied by the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water, which in turn becomes part of the 74 percent supplied to the customers of Clearwater. 3.2 Geographic Service Area and predominant Land Uses The geographic service area for the City's water system extends beyond the City limits and represents an area of approximatley 54 square miles in size. The majority of the customers beyond the City limits are located within unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves within the City of Clearwater. The boundaries of the water service area generally extend from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the City of Dunedin to the north, the City of Safety Harbor and Tampa Bay to the east, and the cities of Largo, Bellair, and Bellair Beach to the south. Map 1 shows the geographic service area of the City of Clearwater potable water system. z Public Utilities -Water Division. City of Clearwater Website. Accessed August 2008. Htip://www.clearwater- tl.com/gov/depts/pwa/public_utilsldivisions!water/index.asp. 3 Currently the City pumps water from 15 groundwells. Pr~t~:b1e '~l~ter Elelmer~~ 1~a City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plait According to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BERB) of the University of Florida, the City of Clearwater is estimated to have a total population of 1 10,602 as of April 1, 2006.4 However, the City's water service area extends beyond the City limits to include numerous unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves. Thus, to determine the population of the City's water service area, a broader figure that includes both the City population and enclave population must be utilized. Because it includes the City of Clearwater in addition to all interior county enclaves, the Pinellas County Planning Sector 6 closely matches the City of Clearwater's water service area. Therefore, population projections for Planning Sector 6, which were calculated by the Pinellas County Planning Department in February 2007, will be utilized for this Potable Water Element. Using the projections from Pinellas County for permanent, seasonal, and tourist populations, the functional population of the water service area can be determined based on the following formula: Functional Population = ((permanent + seasonal) x 4~ + (permanent x 81 + tourist 12 2 This formula is based on Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) rules with the purpose of making adjustments for seasonal residents and tourists.s Once calculated, the functional population figure represents the value utilized to calculate the gross per capita water consumption for the City. Table 1 details the projected population served by the City of Clearwater's water system through the year 2025. In 2007, the total functional population for the City was 152,1 1 7 inhabitants. 4 Bureau of Economic and Bossiness Research (2007).

Within downtown Clearwater, a dense mix of institutional, commercial, office, recreational and high density residential land uses are found. !n addition to downtown, the Clearwater Beach area features a dense mix of land uses that include major commercial/resort destinations, high density residential developments, and recreational uses. Intensive commercial land uses, including regional commercial shopping centers are scattered along the City's major transportation arteries, particularly Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and U.S. Highway 19. The majority of the rest of the City is dominated by well-established single- family neighborhoods, intermixed with supportive institutional and recreational uses. Map 2 shows the existing land uses found within the City of Clearwater water service area. 3,3 Design Capacity and Current ©emand on Existing Facilities. Water Wells and Treatment Facilities Potable water within the City of Clearwater is provided by 23 City-operated fresh water wells (19 active and 4 inactive) and seven interconnects with the Pinellas County water system. Although it is currently not used, the City has access to the water system of the City of St. Petersburg though an emergency interconnect. The City's water wells are located in close proximity to three treatment and storage facilities: Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3. The interconnects to the Pinellas County system are found at various locations in the City: Reservoir No. 2; Reservoir No. 3; along Belcher Road near the intersections with Drew Street, Gulf-to-Bay (SR 60), and Belleair Road; and at South Sand Key. The locations of the various water supply facilities within Clearwater are illustrated on Map 3. Pinellas County water is purchased by the City of Clearwater through an intergovernmental agreement as a means to augment the City's groundwater sources and to meet the City's water demands (See Appendix A). From 2005 to 2007, the average amount of water purchased by the City from Pinellas County was 9.3 MGD.6 s In the Fall of 2003, after a reverse osmosis treatment facility was implemented at Reservoir No. 1, the City was able to reduce the amount of water purchased from the County by a net of 2-mgd ~~~~le V~~t~~ ~I~~~~ ,~ pity ~f Ci~an~ater ~amprehensive Dian Map 2.

WADETRIM 2'1 ~~~~~e !'ater El~~~r~t City Qf Ciearuvater Comprehensive Pian In general, the groundwater source for both Clearwater and Pinellas County comes from a groundwater supply called the Floridan Aquifer. More specifically, the City water sources are 23 groundwater wells, while Pinellas County potable water is obtained from two different sources: Tampa Bay Water's regional water system; and fresh water from Eldridge Wilde wellfields. Tampa Bay Water is a local wholesaler providing water to six local governments in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Multiple sources contribute to Tampa Bay Water's regional water supply; these include groundwater and surface water from around the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and saline water from Tampa Bay. A summary of the daily production rates for the three reservoirs is provided in Table 2. The table also details the relative production provided by the City and the production provided by Pinellas County. Table 2 Summary of daily Production by Source, 2t7g~ Source: City of Clearwater's Annual Water Report, 2007 'Value listed represents finished blended water capacity. In order to produce this blended finished water capacity, it is required to pump an additional 14 to 16% of well water. "Water provided by Pinellas County interconnects located on-site with existing Cily of Clearwater facilities. The values reflect the addition of a reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 1, which, at the time of the preparation of the Water System Assessment (Clearwater Water Master Plan), was expected to reduce the amount of water purchased from Pinellas County by a net of 2-million gallons per day (mgd} on a long term basis. The average daily demand for potable water within the City of Clearwater's water service area totals-12.65-mgd, of which 74 percent is provided by Pinellas County and 26 percent is provided by the City's wells. POtale VUat~c ~erll~er~t ?2 troy of Clearwater Cc~mprehertsive Plate According to the City's water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the City is allowed to pump a maximum of 6.25-mgd from its wells (See Appendix B). The City is using approximately 52.8 percent of its pumping capabilities. Reservoir No. 1 is located on Palmetto Street near Saturn Avenue and consists of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, a single 5 million gallon (mg) storage tank, chloramination facilities for disinfection, and a high service pumping station. Reservoir 1 utilizes 2.08-mgd of raw groundwater to produce 1.8-mgd of treated potable water. The Reverse osmosis plant uses 2.6-mgd of water to produce 2.0- mgd of permeate which is blended with 1.0-mgd of pre-treated by-passed water, attaining a total of 3-mgd of potable drinking water. Feed water to the plant comes from 10 active wells (Well Nos. 23, 31, 48, 65, 66, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 81). Production from Well 81 is limited due to the need for a sand pack to prevent sand from entering the well.8 Reservoir No. 2 is located near the intersection of US 19 and Drew Street and consists of a single 5-mg storage tank, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 3 active wells (Well Nos. 45, 46 and 53). Two additional inactive wells are also connected (Well Nos. 51 and 52). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 0.8 mgd. Also on- site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 1.2-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine concentration of the incoming water. The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.9 Reservoir No. 3, located near the intersection of Countryside Blvd. and State Road 580, consists of two 5-mg storage tanks, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 6 active wells (Well Nos. 56, 58, 63, 68, 69, and 77). Two inactive wells are also connected (wells 79 and 80). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 0.7=mgd. Also on site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 8.15 mgd.

The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.~o Elevated Storage Tanks The City of Clearwater operates three 1 million gallon (mg) elevated storage tanks to provide additional storage capacity, consistent distribution system pressure, and to respond to emergency demands such as fire. The three elevated storage tanks are identified and located as follows: Del Oro, located near the intersection of McMullen-Booth Road and Drew; Martin Luther King, located near the intersection of Bellevue Blvd. and Martin Luther King; and Otten Street, located near the intersection of Otten Street and Highland Ave. At the time of the preparation of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment (June 2004), the three elevated storage tanks were valved-off due to water stagnatian issues and degradation of water quality. However, the City has since placed the Martin Luther King and Otten Street tanks back into service in order to maintain an adequate level of service and for additional emergency storage capabilities.>> With regard to the total capacity of drinking water sources and treatment facilities, Chapter 62-555(6) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: The total capacity of al/ water sources and treatment.faci/ities connected to a water system sha// at /east equal the water system's design maximum-day water demand (inc/udiny design fire-f/ow demand if fire protection is being provided). In total, the City has a storage capacity of 23-mgd provided by the four 5-mgd storage tanks at Reservoirs 1, 2 and 3 and the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks. However, at the time of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment ,the City's total storage capacity was estimated at 20-mgd, not calculating the capacity of the elevated storage tanks because of their stagnation and water quality issues. In addition to the City's own storage capacity, Pinellas County provides the City with some storage capacity through the interconnections. However, the exact amount of storage capacity available to the City through Pinellas County is unknown.12 ~~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment Update, 2008 ~~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment Update, 2008 12 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment Update, 2008 Potable ~4l~t~t` El~mlen-t z~ City of Clearwater Cornprehei~sive Plan Based on the Water System Assessment report, the City's design maximum-day potable water demand is estimated at 19-mgd. At 20-mgd, the City's current storage tank capacity is sufficient to achieve potable water design maximum-day demand according to Chapter 62-555 F.A.C. However, the Water System Assessment noted that .this total capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. For this reason, and as noted above, two of the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks were put back into service, but several modifications to the distribution system were recommended in the assessment to increase overall capacity, including distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.13 Pumping Facilities High-service pumps are found at each of the City's three reservoirs to ensure distribution system capacity and pressure. These pumps ensure that water under sufficient pressure is delivered from the wellheads to the various storage and treatment facilities and then into the distribution system. Additionally, system capacity and pressure is supplemented through the six direct interconnections with the Pinellas County water system. With regard to required pumping capacity, Chapter 62-555.320(15) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: (a) Un/ess elevated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity of a booster pumping station, sha/l be sufficient to: 1. Meet at /east the water system's, or the booster station service area's, peak- hour water demand (and if fire protection is being provided, meet at least the water system's, or the booster station service area's, design fire-flow rate p/us a background water demand equiva/ent to the maximum-day demand other than fire-flow demand); and 2. Maintain a minimum gauge pressure of 20 pounds per square inch throughout the water system's, or the booster station service area's, distribution system up to each customer's point of connection to the distribution system. is City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment Update, 2008 ~c~t~b~~ at~r E~r"at x~ City of Clearwater ~~rntsreher-stve Plan (b) Where elevated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity of a booster pumping station, sha!/ be sufficient to at least meet the water system's, or the booster station service area's, maximum-day water demand (including design fire-flow demand if fire protection is being provided) and to maintain distribution system pressure as specified in subparagraph 62- 555.320(1 S)(a)2., F.A. C. /n addition, the total capacity of the high-service pumping stations, or the capacity of the booster pumping station, combined with the useful elevated finished-water storage capacity sha/l be sufficient to meet the water system's, or the booster station service area's, peak-hour water demand for at /east four consecutive hours (and if fire protection is being provided, sha// be sufficient to meet the water system's, or the booster station service area's, design fire-f/ow rate plus a background water demand equivalent to the maximum-day demand other than fire-f/ow demand for the design fire-f/ow duration). As noted above, the City's total water storage capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Because pumping capacity is related to achieving sufficient storage capacity, improvements to the City's pumping capacity is warranted. The Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment notes that possible solutions include distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.14 Distribution System The City of Clearwater's water distribution system includes 574.6 miles of water main, 40,000 water meters, 4,050 fire hydrants, 8,330 valves and 7,500 backflow devices. Approximately 48% of the water mains of the City are 6 inches in diameter while almost 20% are 8 inches. Table 3 displays the distribution of water mains in the system. In 2006, the City of Clearwater completed the implementation of 17 phases of a 20-Year Plan to upgrade the pipes of the distribution system.

The use of reclaimed water helps the City to preserve high quality potable water sources by providing a reliable and economical alternative source for irrigation water. Use of reclaimed water for irrigation can benefit the City because every gallon of potable water not used for irrigation is one less gallon of water purchased from Pinellas County. This has the potential of significant potable water savings .given the escalating casts of purchasing water from Pinellas County.~s The City's reclaimed water system is the result of cooperative funding by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the City of Clearwater.16 The City's reclaimed water system is shown on Map 5 and includes 51 miles of reclaimed water main. At present, reclaimed water service extends to the Countryside Country Club Golf Course and driving range, Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Course and the soccer fields on McMullen Booth Road in the Countryside area, which are fed from the Northeast Treatment Plant. The Northeast Treatment Plant will also serve the reclaimed projects on the east side of Clearwater: Drew Union, Del Oro, Morningside, and Skycrest. The Marshall Street Plant feeds jack Russell Stadium, Pier 60 Park, Coachman Park as well as 1,400 customers on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. In 2004, reclaimed water became available to the Harbor Oaks Area of Clearwater. This area also receives it supply from the Marshall Street Plant. 15 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan Update. 2008 ~s City of Clearwater Reclaimed Waler Master Plan.

WADETRIM 31 City of Cleaz~ater Cornprehensive Plan In 2008, approximately 2,200 customers are now provided with reclaimed water. According to the 2007 City's Annual Water Report, reclaimed water demand increased from 2.i4-mgd in 2005 to 3.16 mgd in 2007. These figures represent approximately 47.6 percent increase in the last two years, a significant impact on the city's water savings.• The City of Clearwater is currently designing the Skycrest Reclaimed Water Project which will include an east/west interconnection, pumping and storage facility. This interconnection will complete the loop within the City, resulting in both sides of the City being connected for future expansion of our reclaimed program.~~ Future extensions are based on several factors, including lawn Irrigation usage/potential offset, proximity to existing reclaim sources, and infrastructure cost. In December 2007, the City of Clearwater re-evaluated its Reclaimed Water Master Plan (2001) that includes a 20-year schedule for reclaimed water extensions.

It is projected that the system expansion (201 1- 2020) will bring savings of 5.23 MGD. . 3.4 Water Conservation Measures The City of Clearwater is a co signer of the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement leading the City to a program call "Green Clearwater". As part of this program, the City has compromised to expand water conservation efforts through the following methods: • Expanding the Reclaimed Water System and promoting its use. • Enforcing water use restrictions ordinances • Promoting xeriscape planting • Promoting and facilitating to the public the use of water conservation devices such as low flow shower heads, faucet accelerators, toilet tummies,etc. • Reducing leakages on transmission mains • Providing information through its website regarding water conservation The City is looking to expand the water conservation programs as it collaborates with Pinellas County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. a~bl~ ~~~~r E~il~~int ~~ City cif Clearater Corr€prehensive Plan 3.5 Level of Service The existing Clearwater Comprehensive Plan has established the following Level of Service standards to be used in determining the availability of facility capacity and demand created by new development: 120 gallons per capita per day at a pressure of 40-45 psi. Potable water level of service is measured based on the rate of potable water consumption on a per person basis. This method of measurement provides an indicator of the demand placed on the potable water system and allows for tracking improvements in potable water conservation measures. As the rate of consumption decreases, the rate of success of potable water conservation measures increases. Based on the water service area's 2007 functional population of 152,117, the demand for potable water per capita per day at the 2007 level of service is 18.25 out of 21.25 MGD available from City and Pinellas County sources. If the same level of service is maintained through 2025, the City will still have enough capacity. 3.6 Facility Capacity Analysis. As highlighted in Table 2, the City of Clearwater's production is limited to 6.25 mgd from local potable water resources and is supplemented by purchase of potable water through an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County to meet demands in excess of what is locally produced by the City. Rated/permitted capacity at the City of Clearwater three Water Reservoirs /High Service Pump Stations is 25 mgd with pumping capable of meeting instantaneous peaks in excess of 31 mgd. The current inter-local agreement between Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater was signed on September 2005 and it is valid through September 2030. The agreement states that the County agrees to furnish up to 15 mgd yearly average of water (treated) for its use and for distribution in its water service area.~$ In 2007, the City of Clearwater's water system was estimated to have an average daily demand of 12.65-mgd. This is based on a functional population estimate of 18 Interlocal Agreement Water Service Delivery. City of Clearwater and Pinellas County. September 2005. Pc~t~ble Utl~t~r Elell~tel~t s~ City of Ctearwater Comprehensive Plan 152,117 for the water service area, and assumes a demand of 90.5 gallons per capita in addition to 610,000 gallons per day for significant water users.19 The estimated average daily demand of 12.65-mgd also takes into account the planned future land uses of the City of Clearwater. Taking into consideration these figures, the City is using approximately 53 percent of its permitted pumping capabilities from City's wells from SWFWMD and approximately 62 percent of its available capacity to water purchases from Pinellas County. The estimated demand of 12.65-mgd does not account for the reduction in potable water demand resulting from the City's reclaimed water system. Therefore, 15 and 25 percent water reuse offsets have been applied to the total demand, resulting in an average daily demand of 10.72-mgd or 9.47-mgd, respectively.20 Given that the City is almost completely built-out, significant population growth and the conversion of large undeveloped lands to urban use is not expected. The City's population is expected to increase only slightly, while the City's current distribution of land use is planned to be maintained generally in its present state. Rather, the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan focuses on redevelopment efforts throughout the City, particularly within downtown Clearwater and the Clearwater Beach area. Table 6 provides the projected annual average daily demand for the City of Clearwater water system for the planning period, 2008 through 2025. 19 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan Update, 2008 ~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan Update, 2008 3 lily of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Table 6 Water System Average C7aily demand: 2008 through 2025 008 s s 152 , 552 ~. f b 14.4 t. ~ r !i ! 12.3 ~ *.

(b) Annual average daily demand is calculated based on 90.5 gallons per capita per day plus 610,000 gallons per day for significant users other than hotels. (c) Average annual daily demand considering a 15 percent offset due to the use of reclaimed water for irrigation. (d) Average annual daily demand considering a 25 percent offset due to the use of reclaimed water for irrigation. By 2018, the water system service area is projected to have a functional population of 156,673, resulting in an annual average daily demand of 14.8-mgd. However, considering a conservative 15 percent offset for water reuse, the average daily demand would actually decline to 12.6-mgd by 2018. A 25 percent offset results in an average daily demand of 1 1.1-mgd by 2018. ~~tabl~ ~el~~ir ~~rnent ~~ City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Taking into consideration the City's permitted capacity to pump from its wells of 6.25-mgd, the governance agreement with Pinellas County that allows purchases of treated water up to 15mgd, and the projected reuse offset (15-25%), it could be concluded that the City of Clearwater has sufficient quantity of treated water available to the City to support the projected growth beyond 2025. The City's water demand projections are slightly below what the 2006 Regional Water Supply Plan establishes due to several factors: a) Population projections were adjusted to the most recent data provided by Pinellas County (February 2007) b) Demand projections were prepared using most recent data related to average daily consumption rates (per capita water use) c) Scheduled reclaimed water projects in 2005 are now contributing to the overall water savings. 3.7 Performance and Condition of Ixisting Facilities An assessment of the performance and condition of existing facilities was conducted as part of the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment, prepared in 2004. The assessment revealed that a variety of corrective measures are necessary to maintain existing levels of service. These recommended corrective measures are outlined below. Well Pump Corrosion Currently, corrosion in the vertical turbine pumps used at each raw water production well requires the periodic replacement and maintenance of the pump shaft and pump bowl assembly. Because this maintenance process is difficult and labor intensive,. it is recommended that stainless steel submersible pumps be utilized instead. The stainless steel construction of the submersible pumps helps to minimize corrosion, extending the useful life of the pumps.21 zt City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment Update, 2008 t~~le 'U~lat~r E~rl~~n~t ~~ City of Clearwater Comprehensive t'lan Standb~Power Requirements Chapter No. 62-555 F.A.C. states that each community water system shall provide standby power for operation of the water source, treatment, and pumping facilities necessary to deliver drinking water meeting all primary and secondary standards to meet the average daily demand for the system. The raw water production wells feeding Reservoir 1 are not currently provided with an auxiliary power source as needed to achieve compliance with Chapter 62-555, F.A.C. Two alternative corrective measures were evaluated: installation of a permanent generator or the purchase of portable generators. In the end, portable generators to serve the production wells were chosen as the preferred alternative given the cost savings. According to the Water System Assessment, backup generators with sufficient capacity are available to serve the treatment and storage facilities at Reservoirs l and 2, but not Reservoir 3. Therefore, the study recommended that the existing generator be replaced with a larger generator to handle the current load. Control and Monitoring Improvements In order to make control and monitoring of the City's water system centralized, it is recommended the City install the necessary Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment at existing facilities to allow communications with the new network installed at Reservoir No. 1. This includes control and monitoring of Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3, raw water wells and Pinellas County interconnections. For Reservoir Nos. 2 and 3, the raw water wells, and county interconnects, the Water System Assessment recommended that a radio telemetry system be established to enable effective communications between system facilities. At the county interconnects, it was recommended to add a remotely operated valve to open or close the interconnects. Storage Improvements As stated previously, the City's three elevated storage tanks face water stagnation issues with the potential result of degradation to water quality. At the time of the Water System Assessment, the storage tanks were valved-off. Additionally, the Water System Assessment noted that the City's storage tank capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Therefore, the study recommended the elevated storage tanks to be placed back into service, restoring sufficient fire- P c~ t a b l a U41 ~ ~c e r E l e lrlrlw a ll~ ~t ss ~lxy flf CJearwater Comprehensive Plan flows to certain areas of the City. To alleviate the water stagnation issues at the storage tanks, recommendations were outlined that included the installation of a mixing system, an altitude valve, isolation valve and small booster pump station to force water out of the storage tanks. To increase fire-flow capacity, the Water System Assessment recommended the addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks in combination with distribution system pipe modifications. Pumping Improvements Improvements to the City's pumping facilities are also necessary to improve fire- flows. The Water System Assessment indicates that the current high service pumps are deficient in meeting fire-flow levels in some areas of the City. Therefore, additional booster pump stations are recommended in conjunction with distribution system pipe modifications. 3.8 Issues and Opportunities for Cxpansion and thew facilities One of the major goals of the City is to increase self sufficiency in water supply to control future costs. Presently, the City purchases approximately 8 million gallons of water from Pinellas County at a cost of approximately 7 million dollars per year. Over the years, wholesale water rates have increased and are projected to continually rise. To accomplish increased self sufficiency, the Capital Improvement Plan portion of the Water Master Pian outlines numerous projects involving the expansion of existing water production facilities or the construction of new water production facilities. Limited Source Water Opportunities The City of Clearwater is uniquely located between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay in an area that has relatively low rates of aquifer recharge. This results in limited quantities of fresh groundwater, and subsequently, limited opportunities to expand source water production. Source water quality continues to degrade due to increased chloride levels caused by pumping of wells in excess of long term safe yield capacities, but within existing water use permitted quantities.22 Chloride Cap Restriction sz Cily of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan Update, 2008 ~~ Pt~t;~b~ ~lU~.t~lr El~r~~nt City of Clearwater Comprei~ensive Plan One of the greatest challenges in increasing capacity for existing production wells and the construction of new production wells is the Southwest Florida Water Management District's chloride cap of 250 mg/L. This chloride cap level is intended to serve as a guideline in evaluating trends and controlling the effects of wellfield withdraws on groundwater quality. In order for the City to proceed with new and sustainable water resources as outlined in their Capital Improvement Plan, the chloride cap must be increased. To provide the necessary evidence to support an increase in the chloride cap, the City is planning to undertake a Chloride Monitoring Well Study. The first phase of this study will. examine the effects in the vicinity of Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3, as the impact of this cap will limit the water production from these facilities first. In a later phase, a similar study will be initiated in the vicinity of Reservoir 2 and south of Gulf-to-Bay to support the development of a new reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 2.23 Feasible New Groundwater Sources As part of the Capital Improvements Plan, the Water Master Plan identifies three improvement projects aimed at increasing water supply that are economically viable as well as technically feasible during the planning period. These three projects include: • Development of an additional 1-mgd of fresh groundwater supply and associated wells and transmission mains to connect to Reservoir No. 3; • Development of an additional 1-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 1 by means of adding an additional 1.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply and expansion of the reverse osmosis facility; and, • Development of an additional 3.5-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 2 by adding an additional 4.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply, transmission mains and a new, low-pressure reverse osmosis facility. s3 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan Update 2008 Potable VV~t~r ~I~:Ifn~r~t ~~~ City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan As stated previously, these projects are partially dependent upon an increase to the SWFWMD's imposed chloride cap. However, even if the effort to raise the cap is unsuccessful, the proposed new production wells for Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3 are still recommended to be developed and permitted. The development of these wells would increase the rotational capacity, maximize production, rest existing wells, and allow for chloride levels to subside. 3.g Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge The natural drainage features within the City of Clearwater water system are shown on Map 6. As can be seen, the City is located between the seawater bodies of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. Freshwater water bodies within the City include Lake Bellevue, Crest Lake, Alligator Lake, Beckett Lake, Lake Chautauqua, and various creeks and drainageways. To the north of the City, Lake Tarpon is a large freshwater resource. According to the Southwest Florida Water Management District over 84 percent of all water used within the District's boundaries emanates from groundwater resources. The deepest and most productive aquifer within the District is the Upper Floridan, which also is found underneath the City of Clearwater.24 In the Clearwater area, the Upper Floridan aquifer contains a relatively thin layer of fresh groundwater underlain by a transition zone of brackish water, which increases in chloride and dissolved solids concentrations with depth until seawater concentrations are reached.25 The Upper Floridan is a productive aquifer, supplying more than ten times the amount of water pumped from the two other aquifer systems found in the Water Management District. In the northern portion of the District, the Floridan aquifer is readily recharged by rainfall (greater than 10 inches per year), and is most highly productive. In central Pinellas County, the Floridan aquifer features a recharge rate of 1 to 10 inches per year.zs sa Southwest Florida Water Management District. Regional Water Supply Plan.

The primary threats to groundwater in the Clearwater area are saltwater intrusion via overdraft and contamination. When groundwater recharge exceeds withdrawal, there is a potential for saltwater to move inward from coastal areas, ultimately affecting the quality of the available groundwater. Additionally, contamination from injection and drainage wells, fertilizers, storage tanks, and other sources affect the quality of groundwater. Both overdraft and contamination are risks that can be reduced via careful regulation. The Southwest Florida Water Management District is the primary regulator and program administrator relating to natural drainage and groundwater recharge. The City of Clearwater is contained within the boundaries of several SWFWMD water supply programs, including:27 Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) was initiated by the district to assess water availability, including minimum flows and levels, in order to support water resource recover, water use permitting, and environmental resource permitting. Both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County provide input to the technical projects performed by the District. Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area sets water use permit (VI/UP) for the area, including additional conservation requirements such as reuse. Public supply permits within the WUCA limit per capita water use demands to 1 50 gallons per person per day. Any utility not meeting these numbers has strict timeframes and guidelines to implement this limit. The City of Clearwater is not using its entire permitted allocation of groundwater from the Upper Floridan aquifer although it is anticipated that its utility will eventually grow into its unused 27 Southwest Florida Water Management District, 2005 District Water Management Plan P~ta~l~ t~~~er E~~Imen City of Clearwater Comprehensive Flan quantity to meet future demand. For example, the City of Clearwater's brackish R.O. facility is permitted to withdraw 6.3 mgd of brackish groundwater, although the City has been withdrawing an average of 3 mgd~s. The City of Clearwater has been and is actively participating in SWFWMD's efforts to prioritize recharge areas within the Upper Floridan aquifer recharge area. Tampa Bay/Anc%te River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Project As part of SWFWMD's continuing efforts to ensure the coordination of local governments' planning practices regarding water supply management, SWFWMD has developed the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Program in coordination with local governments to conduct water resource assessments and planning on a watershed rather than district-wide basis. The City of Clearwater is in the Tampa Bay/Anclote River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Area. This area encompasses all of Pinellas County and parts of Hillsborough and Pasco Counties or approximately 566 square miles. The Tampa Bay/Anclote River CWM Plan was last adopted in 2002. The 2006 SWFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan requires updates to the CWM Plan in which Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater will be invited to participate. 3.1 1 Capital Irrtprnvement Projects Appendix C presents the list and budget for several potable water projects to be completed from FY 2008-2009 to FY 2013-2014.

CITY will not change, alter, add to, or take away any part of any flow measuring or backflow device without prior approval of COUNTY. COUNTY will, at its expense, install and retain ownership of the telemetering line from the measuring device to the point of readout. 7. To assure accuracy, the flow-measuring devices shall be tested yearly by COUNTY with results delivered to CITY's Utilities Director within 30 days of test. At other intervals of Time, should any question arise as to the accuracy of any flow measuring device, CITY may require any or all of the flow measuring devices to be tested. Should the tests show the flow measuring device to be registering within an accuracy of two and one half (2-1/2) percent, CITY shall bear all the expense incurred in the testing. If the tests show the flow measuring device not to be registering within two and one half (2-1/2) percent accuracy, COUNTY will pay all the expense incurred in the testing and will immediately repair the flow measuring device. For any meter found inaccurate, COUNTY will adjust the previous month's or months bills, as appropriate, to reflect the result of the test. COUNTY agrees that the supply of water to be delivered hereunder shall be at all times continuous, except that temporary cessation of delivery of water at any time by an Act of God, fires, strikes, casualties, accidents, breakdowns of or injuries to machinery, pumps or pipelines, civil or military authority, insurrection, riot or any other cause beyond the control of COUNTY shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement on the part of COUNTY, and COUNTY shall not in such case be liable to CITY or its inhabitants for any damage resulting from an unavoidable cessation of delivery related to one of the causes stated in this paragraph. 9. It is recognized by both parties hereto that COUNTY supplies water to other municipalities on a whaIesaie basis, and also to many thousands ofretail users, and it is agreed that at any time when the total demand for water by all of the users, including CITY, exceeds the capacity of COUNTY's water supply and distribution system, both wholesale and retail customers will receive equal priority for the supply of water; and in such event, the inability of the COUNTY to supply either the wholesale or retail customers' full requirements and needs shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement on the part of COUNTY. CITY agrees that should the Director of Pinellas County Utilities declare an emergency to exist in the supply of water for COUNTY'S water system, the Director shall have the right and complete authority to allocate or pro-rate water supply to CITY based upon existing needs of the system, past and presex-t demands on the system by CITY, and all other reasonable circumstances then existing at the time of the emergency. 10. In the event that COUNTY is unable to furnish the amount of water CITY needs to supply its service area, CITY shall be entitled to purchase water from other sources for such supply until such time as COUNTY can again furnish CITY's water needs. 11. All water delivered under this Agreement shall conform to applicable State and Federal laws and regulations and the standards of the State of Florida Department of Health and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. COUNTY will notify the CITY if water provided to the CITY fails to meet any ofthe above Federal or State of Florida regulations or standards. 12. COUNTY will bill CITY for water used on a monthly billing cycle. Each month COUNTY will read and record the reading on the register of each of the flow 4 measuring devices.and compute the volume of water that has been quantified by the measuring device during the billing cycle. CITY will, within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the bill, make payment to COUNTY of the amount shown on the bill. Failure of CITY to pay when due any amounts billed,- under the terms of this Agreement, shall constitute breach of this Agreement and COUNTY'S obligation to furnish water may then be voided at COUNTY's option. Prior to voiding the agreement, City shall provide written notice of any disputed amounts billed within ten (10) days of receipt of such billing. The parties shall resolve said disputed amount within thirty (30) days of the date of City's notice of dispute or submit the controversy to arbitration, to be settled in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. However, either party may reject the arbitration award by commencing legal action on the dispute within thirty (30) days after the rendering of the award. If rejected by the commencement of a legal action as provided in this paragraph, the award shall be deemed void and shall not be admissible for any purpose in the legal action. Unless the award .is rejected as provided in this paragraph, the circuit court of the county in which the award is made may enter judgment confirming the award. If payment is not made within~the time provided in Section 218.335, Florida Statutes, the CITY will pay to the COUNTY interest at the rate established by Section 55.03, Florida Statutes. 13. CITY will be billed for the water recorded by the flow measuring device at the wholesale rate established by the Board of County Commissioners. The wholesale rate will be based on a pro-rata share of revenue requirements of the COUNTY'S water system to include only those reasonable treatment and transmission costs that can be shown to be required for the supply of water to COUNTY wholesale water 5 users. The rate will become effective October 1 of the. same fiscal year as the budget, and may then be revised at any time by the Board as necessary to meet the revenue requirements of the COUNTY'S water system. However, revisions after October 1st which result in increased rates will not be effective until at least sixty (60) days after adoption by the County Commission. Adequate notice, of not less than thirty (30) days, will be given to CITY before any proposed rate increase is adopted. The following factors shall be used in determining the municipal rate referred to herein: A. Operation, maintenance, renewal and administrative costs. B. Payment obligations of annual principal and interest payments on COUNTY'S water system bonded indebtedness. C. Collection ofcoverage or other reserves as required byBond Resolutions and Ordinances D. Pro-rata share of the costs of providing treatment, transmission and storage facilities for expansion through revenues of water sales. E. Payment of the cost of the water to COUNTY purchased from other agencies, plus other costs to COUNTY required to furnish water to CITY as described in A through D of this paragraph. 14. On or before March ]each year during the term of this Agreement, CITY will notify COUNTY on form provided by COUNTY of CITY's projected requirement by the month for forthcoming yeaz, together with a five (5) year projection of usage. 15. CITY will accept the potable water at the pressure in COUNTY's transmission mains. Not withstanding paragraph 8 above, COUNTY will make every effort to maintain a minimum of 35 psi static pressure or greater at all points of delivery to CITY. 6 16. CITY will operate its system in such a manner so as to prevent peaking of flow rates that would place an unequal burden on COUNTY's facilities and be out ofproportion to other customers of COUNTY's water system. Storage to accommodate peak flow demands will be included by CITY in the design and installation of the distribution system in CITY's water service area. "Peaking" is recognized to be the rate of flow which for any period of time exceeds a rate one and fifty five hundredths (1.55) times the average gallons per day on a yearly average. 17. All parties agreed that the area described in Exhibit "B" herein will be the farthest extension of retail water service by CITY into COUNTY'S water service area, regardless of future annexation by CITY. Any encroachment by CITY beyond this service area boundary into COUNTY's water service area, without written agreement from COUNTY, shall constitute breach of this Agreement and COUNTY'S obligation to furnish water beyond the established COUNTY service area boundary shall be void. It is the intent of both parties by adopting and observing this service area to avoid duplication of capital investment and maintenance costs and to render water service to the public as efficiently as possible. CITY recognizes the right of the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners to designate water service areas for all municipalities in Pinellas County, and accordingly, CITY agrees not to extend any water line into COUNTY's water service area without approval of the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. In the event CITY shall wish to extend its water service area, CITY shall make appropriate application to the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners for the passage of a resolution extending CITY's 7 service area as requested. CITY agrees to strictly abide by all decisions of the Board of County Commissioners in regard to applications or requests for extensions of the CITY water service area. 18. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the CITY from obtaining some or all of the water necessary to serve to its customers from any other source. 19. .This Agreement shall be for a period of thirty (30) years commencing on the date of October 1, 2005 and terminating on September 30, 2035. 20. Both parties represent that the execution of this Ageement has been approved by the governing bodies of both parties in accordance with taw and that both parties have the legal authority to execute this Agreement. 21. This Agreement replaces and supersedes all previous Agreements between COi1NTY and CITY regarding water service. 22. This Agreement may be amended or terminated upon the mutual agreement of both parties, in writing. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties herein to have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective authorized officers and it shall be effective on the day and year first above written. •: V 0 ('..• •' S .~ \? ; ~. :: ,, ' . ti e .

WATER QUALITY CONCENTRATION TRIGGER LEVEL a. WELLFIELDOPERATIONANDMANAGEMENTTOAVOIDEXCEEDINGTHETRIGGERLEVEL The Permittee shall operate and manage the wellfield in a manner to avoid exceeding the chloride concentration trigger level of 250 mg/liter in each of the production wells. Such operation and management of the wellfield shall include regular evaluation of water level and water quality data, rotation of production among wells, quantity reductions at specific water quality problem wells, pumpage dispersion, rotation to otherwater supplysources outside thewellfield, a combination of the abovr.activities, or other methods deemed appropriate to control chloride concentrations. The trigger level is intended to serve as a guideline in evaluating trends and controlling the effects of wellfield withdrawals on groundwater quality. Single water qualit}r sample concentration readings In excess of 250 mglliter may occur, provided long-term upward trends (sustained increases) or other significant water quality changes do not occur. At such time as the chloride concentration in any water sample reaches the designated concentration trigger level of 250 mg/liter, the Permitter shall review the data, examine the cause and consequences of the elevated concentrations acid take appropriate action to reduce concentrations below the trigger level set for the particular well. WELLFIELD OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT IF UPWARD TRENDS IDENTIFIED If the chloride concentrations from any single well over any six (6}month period show an increasing trend (sustained increasds) above the trigger level, or if the average of all chloride samples over any consecutivethree (3}month period exceeds the trigger level, then the Permitter shall rotate that well out of service for 30 days. After the 30th day has passed, the Permittee shall sample the well to determine if chloride concentrations have recededto belowthetriggerlevel. If chloride concentration levels have receded below the trigger Irvel, theri the well can be placed back into regular service. If chloride concentration levels remain above the trigger level, then the well shall be further evaluated as identified below. Permit No.: 20002981.010 Permittee: City of Clearwater Page 9 c. DETAILED EVALUATION OF WELLS WHICH REMAIN ABOVE TRIGGER LEVEL If, after taking the actions described in Sections (a) and (b) of this condition, chloride concentration levels remain above the trigger level, a further and more detailed evaluation of the well shall be undertaken to determine ifth@re are any other feasible and more effective options to avoid exceeding the trigger level. An evaluation of such options shall be undertaken and submitted to the District within 90 days of the determination that chloride concentration levels remain above the trigger level (as per Section (b) above). The evaluation shall include geophysically logging the well with appropriate geophysical logs as agreed to bythe Director, Tampa Regulafwn Department. Options to be evaluated shall include the following: enhanced rotation of production among wells. further quantity reductions from the we(I, further pumpage d(spersbn (through construction of additional production wells through permit modification), backplugging the well, plugging the well, rotation to other sources outside of the wellfreld, a combination of the above activities, or other methods to control chloride concentrations. d. TRIGGER LEVEL MODIFICATIONS If the Permittee has evaluated and implemented all feasible options to avoid exceeding the trigger level for a particularwell (as described in (a)thru (c) above), and the chloride levels still remain above the trigger level, the Permlttee may request modification of the respective trigger level to the lowest feasible chloride concentration, as described below. Such requests shall be submitted in writing, and shall require the written approval of the Director, Tampa Regulation Department. The request for modification of the choride concentration trigger level shall include documentation regarding all wellfield management measures that have been implemented and evaluated to attain compliance with the trigger level specified in this permit. The Permittee's request for modification of the trigger lave{ must also include a proposal of the lowest feasible concentration trigger level for the specificwell (based on a review of observed field data) for consideration. This proposed trigger level shall be based upon a comprehensive evaluation of water level and water quality data from production and monitor wells in order to predict lateral and vertical changes to the location of the saline water interface in the Floridan aquifer which may result from the proposed increased trigger level. The request shall include an evaluation ofthe effects ofwithdrawals from the specificwell and thewelifleld as a whole on other existing legal users, the Permttttee, and public health, safety and welfare. The District will allow chloride concentration trigger modifications if the District determines that the proposed modified chloride concentration trigger level will cause only limited saline water intrusion, and that such salinewater intrusion will not adversely effect other existing legal users. the Pemtittee, and public health, safety and welfare. If new trigger levels are specified by the Director, Tampa Regulation Department, they shall supersede the trigger level listed in this permit. If the District determines that reasonable assurance has not been provided that the proposed modified chloride concentration trigger level will cause only limited saline water intrusion, or that such that saline water intrusion will not adversely effect other existing legal users, the Permittee, and public health, safety and welfare, the chlorfde concentration trigger level will not be mod~ed. if the District reaches such a determination, the Permttttee shall be required to implement other effective measures to-remain below the chloride concentration trigger level or remove the well from service. If the District determines that long-term upward trends or otherslgniflcantwaterquality changes are occurring, and such trends or changes have not been effectively addressed by the Permttttee, then the District may reconsider the quantities permitted. Permit No.: 20002981.010 Permittee: City of Clearwater Page 10 e. ANNUAL REPORT The City's efforts to manage its wellfield to avoid exceeding the trigger level for the City's wells shall besummarized in theAnnual Report, as described in the WELLFIELD ANNUAL REPORT condition of this permit. 6. WATER USE CAUTION AREA CONDITIONS a. PER CAPITA USE The Permittee shall maintain a per capita water rate equal to or less than 150 gpd.

This modification revises Special Condition No. 5 of WUP No. 20002981.10 which addresses chloride trigger levels at the production wells. The Special Condition replaces the chloride trigger levels on the production wells with chloride action levels on the specifred monitoring wells. This modification also revises a Special Condition to require water quality monitoring from three proposed monitoring wells. The Special Condition requiring the investigatidn/mitigation of water quality well complaints has also been revised. The following constitutes modif+cations.to the terms and conditions of Water Use Permit 20002981.013, effective February 13.2007. The total permitted annual average and peak month quantities authorized under this permit have not changed. 2. ~:~ Special Condition No. 5 of Water Use Permit Revision No. 20002981.010 has been revised as follows: Water Quality Action Levels Ai such time as the chloride concentration in any water sample reaches the Action Levels designated below, the Permittee shall take appropriate action to reduce concentrations to below those set for the particular well. These measures may include, but shall not necessarily be limited to those listed in the Water Quality Action Plan City for the City of Clearwater Wellfield submitted on June 30, 2006, in support of the permit application for the water use permit. Sample concentration readings in excess of the concentrations designated below may occur, provided long-term upward trends or other significant water quality changes do not occur. If the District determines that long-term upward trends or other significant water quality changes are occurring, the District may reconsider the quantities permitted.

Prior to the request for concentration limits review, the Permittee shall document in writing to the District that all feasible wellfield management measures have been explored within reasonable limits to attain compliance with the concentration limits specified in this permit. ,M :;: " y~ ~ . 4 / _ „_ , ~~:~ ~~ r,~ t . ~; _~ .~,''S.. Permit No. 20002981.014 February 13, 2007 Page 4 The Permittee's written request for review of the limits must include a proposal (well by well) of the Lowest feasible concentration Limits (based on a review of observed field data) to the Director for consideration. This proposal shall Include predictions of changes to the location of the saltwater interface, both laterally and vertically, which may result from the proposed increased limits. If the Director accepts, in writing, that the Permittee has explored all feasible wellfield management measures within reasonable limits, that the Permittee cannot attain compliance with the concentration limits, and increasing the limits will not cause adverse impacts, the Director may consider modifying concentration limits for each well. If new limits are specified by the District, these shall supersede the limits listed in this permit. Si-Annual Water Quality Conditions Re ort Chloride concentration data from the City's. production and monitor wells will be evaluated on a bi- annual basis. The results will be summarized in bi-annual reports to the District with the first report due by April 1, 2009. Statistical analysis of chloride concentration, water level, and production data will be conducted to verify trends. If upward chloride trends are identified then the appropriate actions outlined in the June 2006 City of Clearwater Water Quality Action Plan will be implemented. 3. The following condition is added to this permit: Reserve Rights To Set Water Quality Concentration Limits The District reserves the right to set chloride, sulfate, andlor total dissolved solids concentration limits on any production well in the future, based on data collected and after a sufficient data base has been established to determine limits. These limits shall be required after discussions with the Permittee. At such time as the concentration in any water sample reaches or exceeds the designated concentration limits, the Permittee shall take appropriate action to reduce concentrations to below those set for the particular well. if the District determines that long-term upward trends or other significant water quality changes are occurring, the District. may reconsider the quantities permitted. 4. Special Condition No. 3 of Water Use Permit Revision No. 20002981.010 has been revised as follows: A. Production Wells Water quality samples shalt be collected and analyzed, for parameter(s), and frequency(ies) specified below. Water quality samples from production wells shall be collected whether or not the well is being used, unless infeasible. If sampling is infeasible the Permittee shall indicate the reason for not sampling on the water quality;data form. Water quality samples shall be analyzed by a laboratory certified by the Florida Department of Health utilizing the standards and methods applicable to the parameters analyzed and to the water use pursuant to Chapter 64E-1, Florida Administrative Code, "Certification of Environmental Testing Laboratories". At a minimum, water quality samples shall be collected after pumping the well at its normal rate for a pumping time specified in the table below, or to a constant temperature, pH, and conductivity. In addition, the Permittee's sampling procedure shall follow the handling and chain of custody procedures designated by the certified Laboratory which will undertake the anatysis. Any variance in sampling and/or analytical methods shall have prior approval of the Regulation Department Director, Resource Regulation. Reports of the analyses shall be submitted to the Permit Data Section, Records and Data Department, (using District forms) on or before the tenth day of the following month, and shall include the signature of an authorized representative and certification number of the certified laboratory which undertook the analysis. The parameters and frequency of sampling and analysis may be modified by the Regulation Deparlrnent Director, Resource Regulation, as necessary to ensure the protection of the resource. .

On August 1, 2008, the City received from DCA their "ORC" report (objections, recommendations and comments) for this submittal. The Engineering and Planning Departments and Wade Trim, the City's consulting company for this project, have been working with DCA, SWFWMD and the County to address the recommendations from the ORC report. The following summarizes the report and our responses to it. A. Objections: 1. Lack of a Minimum Ten-year Planning Horizon. a. Response: Objective 21.1, changed year to "2018" to maintain adequate levels of service for existing and future populations. 2. Lack of Current Data and Analysis to support the Water Supply Plan. a. Response: Wade Trim has provided updated tables from .Pinellas County to support the plan -reviewed by SWFWMD to be consistent with the Regional Water Supply Plan 2006 update. 3. Lack of Policies Guiding Coordination with Southwest Florida Water Management District. a. Response: Policy 21.2.9 and new Policies 21.6.5 and 21.6.6 address this objection. 4. Inadequate Policy No. 21.7.3 (to include an updated wellhead protection area map based on supporting data and analysis). a.

"~'~},~ JEB BUSH ~UU Governor ~ _ c~ R ~ June 29, 2004 ~- ~ ~~ RE: Legislative Action Affecting Due Date of Water Supply Facilities Work Plans Dear Local Planning Official: During the 2004 session, the Florida Legislature enacted House Bill 293 changing the due date for the 10-year water supply work plan from January 1, 2005, to December 1, 2006. The bill was signed into law by Governor Bush on June 24, 2004. This is a change to legislation passed in 2002 in which the Legislature amended Section 163.3177(6)(c), Florida Statutes, requiring local governments having responsibility for water supply facilities to amend their infrastructure element to adopt ~ water supply work plan. The work plan must cover at least a 10-year planning period and must reflect consideration of the applicable water management districts' Regional Water Supply Plan. The work plan was due January 1, 2005, or the the Legislature evaluation and appraisal report (EAR) due date, whichever came first. This session, extended the due date to December 1, 2006, and eliminated the language regarding the EAR due date. Postponing the due date allows the work plans to reflect the most current update of the regional water supply plans, which are due to be revised in 2005. In addition, the legislation requires that once the work plans have been adopted they be updated every five years within 12 months of the update to the regional water supply plans. Also, amendments to incorporate the work plans are now exempt from the twice per year limitation on amendments to the comprehensive plan. An excerpt from the legislation is attached. The entire bill can be viewed at http //www flsenate ~ov/data/session/2004/House/bills/billtext/pdf/h0293er.pdf. Some local governments have already begun preparation of the work plan and are now considering whether to continue or wait. We are advising that local~governments delay adopting the work plan until after the regional water supply plans have been updated. If you choose not to delay, then the work plans will still need to be updated as necessary within 12 months of the approval of the revised Regional Water Supply Plan. Local governments 'who ha ~e already adopted the work plan, or who have transmitted to the Department, will be contacted by the Growth Management Administrator responsible for that area.

Amendments to incorporate the work plan do not count toward the limitation on frequency of adoption of amendments to the comprehensive plan. r Pinellas County Utilities Ten-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan ~ PCU' TOTAL WATER DEMAND tMGt31 ~ FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 64.78 67.00 65.00 64.50 64.00 63.50 63.00 62.50 62.00 61.50 61.00 61.00 61.00 TYPE PROJECT TITLE FUNDING SOURCE LOCATION TEN YEAR SCH EDULE OF IMPROVEMEN TS (Dollar Shown in Thousands) Total Facility Replacement Distribution Mains Water Enterprise Fund Throughout Service Area nla 37,841 12,235 2,573 2,680 2,530 1,530 1,530 1,530 1,530 1,530 1,530 1,530 68,569 Facility Replacement Water Supply Stations Water Enterprise Fund Throughout Service Area nla 1,322 2,778 85 85 85 85 85 85 85 85 85 85 4,950 Facility Replacement CIAC2 Water Enterprise Fund Throughout Service Area nla 100 100 100 100 100 100 100' 100 100 100 100 100 1,200 Facility Replacement Source and Treatment Water Enterprise Fund Throughout Service Area nla 4,953 21,750 35,025 12,625 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 74,553 Facility Replacement Transmission Mains Water Enterprise Fund Throughout Service Area nla 1,150 4,510 3,440 4.,000 0 0 D 0 0 0 0 0 13,100 Facility Replacement Distribution Stations Water Enterprise Fund Throughout Service Area nla 1,410 3,045 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 4,705 Facility Replacement Distribution Buildings Water Enterprise Fund Throughout Service Area n/a 40 185 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 625 New Facility Reuse System Expansion3 Sewer Enterprise Fund Select Area -North County nla 6,700 11,185 19,900 5,000 2,000 2,000 1,000 0 0 0 0 0 47,785 New Facility Reuse System Expansion3 Sewer Enterprise Fund Select Area -South County nla 10,479 10,380 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20,859 FY04 - FY05 63,995 66,168 61,188 24,555 4,805 3,805 2,805 1,805 1,805 1,805 1,805 1,805 236,346 a O&M PROGRAMS Conservation Projects" Efficient Use of Potable Water Water I Wastewater Enterprise Throughout Service Area 3,812 3,899 3,749 3,843 1,206 1,236 1,267 1,298 1,126 1,154 1,183 1,212 24,985 Conservation Educations Education and Outreach Water l Wastewater Enterprise Countywide 980 910 840 770 700 718 735 754 773 792 812 832 9,616 FY04 - FY05 4,792 4,809 4,589 4,613 1,906 1,954 2,002 2,052 1,899 1,946 1,995 2,044 34,601 ' PCU =Pinellas County Utilities; the PCU water service area includes approximately 110,000 retail connections. PCU provides wholesale service to the cities of Clearwater, Pinellas Park, Oldsmar, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor and Dunedin. Several of these communities are considering water supply alternatives to reduce their demand on PCU. z CIAC = Contributions in Aid of Construction -for example, the implementation of the reclaimed water system benefits the water system in that the system doesn't need to expand to meet the new demand. Therefore, funds are transferred from the water system enterprise to the sewer enterprise to pay for part of the reclaimed system construction. 3 The expansion of Pinellas County's reclaimed water distribution system and incentives to citizens to utilize alternative water sources for irrigation are key conservation and potable water demand reduction strategies. ° Water conservation programs are focused on: a) Ultra-low volume toilet retrofits ($9.7 million estimated), b) Alternate water sources for irrigation ($1.5 million estimated), and c) Industrial, commercial and institutional performance contracting incentive ($300,00 for pilot). s Due to reducing per capita consumption of water, the focus will shift to maintaining public knowledge and sensitivity to water resource issues. NOTE: All figures are projections based on best available data, The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners approves budgets and priorities annually. AMENDMENTS PROPOSED TO THE WATER SUPPLY ELEMENT AND THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT OF THE PINELLAS COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADDRESS CH. 163.3177, F.S., REQUIREMENTS TO INCLUDE A TEN YEAR WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES PLAN IN THE WATER SUPPLY ELEMENT. WATER SUPPLY ELEMENT New Policy 1.1.9 Pinellas County supports the value of local and re ig onal partnerships in the provision of potable water supply and will coordinate its water supply facilities lp anning with Tampa Bay Water and the Southwest Florida Water Management District and with their respective Master Water Plan and Regional Water Supply Plan. Amended Objective 1.2 A Ten Year Workplan, including a six year schedule of Capital Improvements, shall be adopted in order P~ to correct existing deficiencies, to replace worn out or obsolete facilities, to fund new and ongoing conservation initiatives, to provide the facilities and programs to meet retail and wholesale customer needs and to accommodate desired future growth . INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT Amended Policy 1.4.5. Pinellas County shall continue to coordinate with the SWFWMD, including with its adopted Regional Water Supply Plan, and area governments and agencies in planning for a reliable long term regional potable water supply. Note: additional and related updates and amendments will occur in conjunction with the evaluation and appraisal of the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan to more fully integrate the new requirements with the remainder of the Comprehensive Plan. Pinellas County's Evaluation and Appraisal Report is due to DCA by August 1, 2005. water policy new stuff f e retrofit-rebate program to replace 94,000 toilets for a demand reduction of 2 million gallons per day by 2006. To reduce the demand for outdoor use of potable water for irrigation, PCU has instituted an alternate water source incentive program where customers can be reimbursed up to $300 per customer for developing an alternative source of water for irrigation such as shallow or deep wells, or surface water withdrawal. This program is only available in areas where reclaimed water is not to be provided, and to those connected to our wholesale customers' systems. PCU continues to enforce watering restrictions as a means to educate customers, limiting water use for irrigation to appropriate days and times. This has had the effect of controlling growth in the demand for outdoor irrigation and educating customers on excess, or over, use of irrigation water. For example, PCU's Healthy Lawns program is aimed at changing water demand by changing habits and educating citizens on native plant species and xeriscaping concepts that can reduce demand, and assuring an understanding of the benefits to lawns when appropriate watering techniques are employed. With the exception of the reclaimed water system build-out, PCU's capital program for the water system is driven by repair and replacement of existing facilities. This is due to the lack of growth being experienced in the service area and the age of the system. Other considerations in the capital program include actions necessary to address varying water qualities received from Tampa Bay Water. To address the softer water being received from Tampa Bay Water, an accelerated pipe replacement program was initiated. To address issues associated with Tampa Bay Water's water being received from multiple sources (and therefore multiple qualities), PCU is considering developing the infrastructure to allow blending and retention as a way to assure that a stable, more consistent quality product is delivered to PCU customers via the distribution system. Clearly, the rising cost of water from Tampa Bay Water, combined with the cost of the capital programs described above, will impact rates to customers for the foreseeable future. Consistent with Section 163.3177, F.S., a 10 Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan has been prepared by PCU. It does not address costs associated with water supply, as that is the responsibility of Tampa Bay Water. It does address things like distribution, transmission, treatment, and associated facilities, for the entire Pinellas County Water Demand Planning Area, consistent with individual wholesale agreements. Water narrative for 10 year plan final c. - t An Overview of Pinellas County Utilities' Water Supply Programs, Challenges and Long-Range Facility Planning Pinellas County Utilities (PCU) is a mature water and wastewater utility system providing service to most of the unincorporated area and several municipalities. As Pinellas County is essentially built-out, there is little anticipated growth in Pinellas County Utilities Water Demand Planning Area. A very small percentage of the County still remains on private wells or septic systems. Pinellas County is a member of Tampa Bay Water, through interlocal agreement, and Tampa Bay Water is required to meet all its member governments' water supply needs. With the formation of Tampa Bay Water, Pinellas County is no longer permitted to own its own potable water producing assets or supplies. Tampa Bay Water currently provides an average of 70 million gallons of potable water per day to PCU from groundwater, surface water and desalination sources. PCU provides water to both retail and wholesale customers. The wholesale customers represent approximately 35 percent of the overall system demand. Of the wholesale customers, Clearwater and Tarpon Springs currently have their own water use permits issued by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Due to the rising cost of water from Tampa Bay Water, these customers are considering reducing their reliance on Pinellas County as a source of their water supply. Oldsmar is also considering developing their own water supply capabilities due to this increase in cost. While Pinellas County is forbidden by agreement from seeking other sources of water supply other than Tampa Bay Water, PCU's wholesale customers are not under similar constraints. A partial reduction of two million gallons per day of potable water demand is projected for these wholesale customers and is currently factored into the demand projections included with the 10 Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. A significant portion of PCU's strategy for reducing potable water demand and thereby providing an environmental benefit, is the expansion of the reclaimed water transmission and distribution system. When complete, the system will have 30,000 connections, which is in the same order of magnitude as Clearwater's op table water system. The total projected effect of the build-out of the reclaimed water system is a reduction in potable demand of 6 million gallons per day. The impact of this potable water demand reduction will be felt when the system reaches its projected subscription rate (i.e., when the maximum number of people have signed up for reclaimed water service) in 2013. PCU is also committed to several other conservation programs which are focused on structurally changing water demand through public education and instilling efficient water use habits in PCU customers, both wholesale and retail. Some of the structural programs used so far include the distribution of water conserving fixtures and toilet tank devices to reduce the volume of water used per flush. However, recent studies have shown that, since their introduction, these fixtures have significantly penetrated the local market, so less emphasis will be placed on these methods in the future. Another retrofit opportunity, however, exists with ultra-low volume toilets. PCU has established a 11~~ste~ ccte~ I~lccn The Plan includes an aggressive conservation program with the goal of reducing regional demand by 10 mgd in 2000 and 17 mgd in 2005.

Tampa Bay Water is governed by two agreements with its Member Govemments, the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement (Interlocal Agreement) and the Master Water Supply Contract, which were established in 1998. Tampa Bay Water has an unequivocal obligation to provide for the wholesale water supply needs of its Member Governments. The Interlocal Agreement outlines requirements for Tampa Bay Water's Long- term Water Supply Plan and Master Water Plan, which must contain. sufficient water supply projects to meet Member Governments' water needs over the 20-year planning horizon. Dear S~i~~ The Long-term Water Supply Plan 2003 was provided to you and to the Pinellas County Utilities Department in May 2003 for your use in developing your Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for Pinellas County. In addition, this correspondence is being sent to you to further assist you with the requirements of the Work Plan.

Mr. Brian Smith, Director p February 23, 2004 Page 2 The Long-term Water Supply Plan and Master Water Plan identify sufficient supply projects to meet the 20-year planning horizon needs of Tampa Bay Water's Member Governments. Several reports have been issued, in addition to the Long-term Water Supply Plan 2003 of the Master Water Plan, that document Tampa Bay Water's planning efforts towards updating its Master Water Plan. These documents include the following and are support documents for the Long-term Water Supply Plan 2003 of the Master Water Plan: ~ Long Term Water Supply Planning Technical Memorandum -Comprehensive Project Screening List, December 2001 o Long Term Water Supply Planning - PrajectAlternative Information, December 2001 e Lang Term Water Supply Planning -Recommended Developmental Study Lz;rt, January 2002 e Source WaterAssessment Guide, February 2003 The Comprehensive Project Screening List considered every water supply project listed in the Southwest Florida Water Management District's Regional Water Supply Plan (RWSP). Applicable ideas in the RWSP were further evaluated in the Project Alternative Information and the Developmental Study list. Three of the five projects that were moved into the Master Water Plan by Tampa Bay Water's Board of Directors in Apri12003 are recommended in the RWSP. In order to meet the Member Governments' future water needs, Tampa Bay Water must understand projected water demands. The Long-term Plan reviews and evaluates the Member Governments' Annual Reports, Tampa Bay Water's Demand Forecasting System, and the Southwest Florida Water Management District's Regional Water Supply Plan projections for this purpose. Tampa Bay Water's demand projections when compared with those contained in the Southwest Florida Water Management District's RWSP were found to be compatible with each other (within approximately 5% of each other). As a part of evaluating future water supply needs, Tampa Bay Water must consider the next scheduled reduction in pumping from the Consolidated Wellfields in December 31, 2007, which is a requirement of the Partnership Plan between Tampa Bay Water and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Based on Tampa Bay Water's final Demand Forecasting System probabilistic forecasts, the expected water demand (mean probabilistic water demand forecast) in 2008 is approximately 253 mgd. Considering the City of Tampa's surface water system supply (which produced 62 mgd of supply during the dry season conditions of 2001), Tampa Bay Water's existing and Configuration I facilities are more than adequate to meet this demand. Additional water supply facilities would not be needed until the 2013 timeframe. In addition to finalizing its Demand Forecasting System (DFS), Tampa Bay Water completed a detailed Probabilistic Need Forecast in September 2003. This forecast analyzes the capacity and timing of future supplies needed by comparing existing supply sources, their expected production capability in the future, and then comparing that to future water supply demands. The purpose of the Probabilistic Need Forecast is to take the demand forecast a step further and look at the timing and quantity of supply needs so that future supply projects can be built at the optimal time, thus limiting future rate impacts, while assuring that demands are met. Tampa Bay Water will update the Probabilistic Need Forecast on an annual basis and use this to confirm the schedule of its Capital Improvements Program. The results of the Probabilistic Need Forecast are graphically depicted below. T:\Strat_Plan\DYE\Water Supply Facilities Work Plan correspondence-Smithdoc In addition to its capital planning program, Pinellas County Utilities conducts its conservation and conservation education program throughout its entire Water Demand Planning Area. This program includes such things as eligibility for incentive programs (e.g., low flow toilet rebates, shallow well rebates, etc.) as well as education programs and materials in the schools, at special events, at hotels and motels, as well as general conservation materials for distribution at municipal buildings and events. The commitment and resultant success of Pinellas County Utilities' conservation programs is reflected in the fact that Pinellas County Utilities' customers have one of the lowest per capita water consumption rates in the State. A short narrative, and a corresponding (draft) amendment to the objectives and policies of the Water Supply Element and Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan, has also been included with this letter. You may wish to use some of the information as you update your own Water Supply Element to meet the requirements of Section 163.3177, F.S. While the County proposes to amend its Water Supply Element to include the new policy and amended objective, we intend to more fully address the additional and related Chapter 163, F.S., requirements through the evaluation and appraisal process also underway at this time. It is our intention that this letter, and the attached information, should satisfy the Department of Community Affairs that Pinellas County is planning for the long-term wholesale water needs of the City of Clearwater, and that the required coordination has occurred between the County and the City, as well as the County and Tampa Bay Water, and Tampa Bay Water and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. In addition, the County will continue to coordinate directly with the Southwest Florida Water Management District during the evaluation and appraisal process to ensure, at a minimum, that the additional Chapter 163, F.S. requirements relating to the Conservation and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements are fully met. We will continue to share information with you as our comprehensive plan amendments move forward, and as we make progress on the evaluation and appraisal of the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan.

Tampa Bay Water's Master Water Plan contains potential future projects with an estimated capacity of over 90 mgd (see attached map). The Tampa Bay Water Board of Directors has set a goal of developing 8-12 mgd of new supply sources by 2012 in order to meet the 2013 supply requirements. In December 2003, the Tampa Bay Water Board chose projects for System Configuration II of the Master Water Plan. Three projects were moved into System Configuration II including the Crystals International Water Supply Project, the Downstream Augmentation Project, and the Mid-Pinellas Brackish Water Project. These three projects have an estimated capacity of 21.5 - 27.5 mgd on annual average.

Prior completion of the plan updates, the districts will use the current ~gional water supply plans as the guide for selecting projects for funding. Can a WMD's regional water supply plan be updated more ~equent/y than once every five years to amend the list of Iternative water supply protects? , es, if the WMD feels that additio Ian sodas deemedtneces ad yd, it may emend its regional water supply p ( ) 3. If a WMD updates its regional water supply plan more 'requently than once every five years, does each update trigger `he requirement for the local government to update its :omprehensive plan? [f the update adds new alternative water supply projects to the regional water supply plan's list of alternative water supply projects and indicates the entity recommended for implementation of the project, the WMD would have to notify only those recommended entities. If the notified entity is a local government, it would have. to update its comprehensive plan within the statutory 18-month time frame. 9. If a city/county falls in two water management districts, can we apply to both? If a proposed water supply project would assist in providing water in more than one water management district, the applicant could seek funding from both districts. To allow the districts to coordinate their funding efforts, the application should indicate that a submittal has been made to both districts and clearly state the amount of funds sought from each district. 10. What if the applicant (local government or water supplier) is in one district, but the alternative water supply project it wants to develop is located in another? The funding application should be submitted to the district where the water will be used, with a courtesy copy sent to the district where the project will be located. A consumptive use permit for the projector uds~o e obtained from the district where the water is withdrawn, as opp where the water is used. 1 i. Who can apply for the new funds? Local governments, public anda other uublic and privatelwateruserstmay operations, special districts an P all apply for program funds. While the prima the prog~amgs not I m ed to of the legislation was on public f teFrsu provides: "It is in the public that sector. Section 373.196(1)( ), interest that county, municipal, industrial, agricultural, and other public 9/21/2005 ' _ Page 5 of 10 Growth Management 2005 ~ FL Dept of Community Affairs nd private water users, the Department of Environmental Protection, nd the water management districts cooperate and work together in the evelopment of alternative~tive water supplies to avoid the adverse ffects of competition for limited supplies of water. Public moneys or ervices provided to private entities for alternative water supply evelopment may constitute public purposes that also are in the public iterest." l2. Can more than one jurisdiction apply together? (es. Local governments, special districts, and publicly or privately owned water utilities are encouraged to form multijurisdictional water supply entities to jointly develop alternative water supplies (Sections 373.019 ;12) and 373.196(1)(e), F.S.). One of the factors "to be given significant weight by a WMD in selecting projects for funding is whether or not the project will be implemented by a multijurisdictional water supply entity or regional water supply authority. 13. Are the state funds matched by the water management districts? The statute provides that it is the goal of the WMDs to match state funds on adollar-for-dollar basis. Two types of district funding allocations will count as match for the state funds. Under Section 373.196(6)(a), F.S., districts must include the following two separate allocations in their annual budgets: (1) Funds for alternative water supply projects selected for inclusion in the Water Protection and Sustainability Program. This district allocation will be combined with state funds provided through the Water Protection and Sustainability Program Trust Fund under Section 403.890, F.S., and made available to water suppliers (through cost-sharing agreements) to assist them in constructing alternative water supply projects. (2) Funds for "water resource development that supports alternative water supply development[.]" Although the statutory. definition of'~water resource development" is very broad, the critical factor for purposes of determining what qualifies as match is menth'r In general, water resourrce ive water supply develop development that furthers the i mpfo ect s tmay bene or more specific alternative water supp y P j ( ) appropriately counted as match. For example, district funds expended for project feasibility analysis, des rt a part cula 9~ or specific data collection ro e t would qualfy as match. alternative water supply p j 14. What is the local government contribution for project construction? _ _~...,. ~, „~irr~.x,rt,wtana~ement2005/waterfags.cfrn 9/21/2005 Growth Management 2005 ~ FL Dept of Community Affairs Page 6 of 10 section 373.1961(3)(e), F.S., states that applicants must pay at least .0% of the project's construction costs. Each WMD governing board will letermine the percentage of project construction costs to be provided by he program. In some cases, the level of program funding may be less han 40% of the construction costs, so that the governing board can naximize the number of projects that will receive construction funding jssistance. Water management districts have the discretion to waive ;partially or totally) the 60% requirement for projects sponsored by Financially disadvantaged small local governments. Water management districts or basin boards may also use ad valorem or federal revenues to yelp an applicant meet the 60% requirement. I5. Can local governments use other grant money, such as federal funds, for matching funds? Federal, regional and local funds may be used as match for the alternative water supply funds provided by the state and water management districts under Section 373.1961(3), F.S. Other state or district funds may not be used as match. 16. Who decides which projects will be funded by the new alternative water supply funding program established by Section 373.196i(3), F.S.? The governing boards of the water mana9ement districts (Section 373.1961(3)(f), F.S.) 17. What factors will the governing board use to determine which projects to fund? Will the water management districts have additional factors of their own? The statute provides two sets of factors that the WMD Governing Boards must consider when determining those projects that will be selected for funding. The legislation does not designate any one factor as a "precondition" for funding assistance. Rather, the Governing Board has the discretion to weigh each of the factors in its consideration of proposed projects. Section 373.1961(3)(f), F.S., provides factors that must be F S. given significant weight in project selection. Section 373.1961(3)(8), , provides a second List of factors that should also be considered. The Governing. Board also has the discretion to establish additional factors. The statutory factors are not "minimum criteria"; rather, they serve to guide the WMD Governing Boards, in their assessment of the relative benefits of potential projects. Sections 373.1961(3)(f) and (g), F.S., provide: (f) The governing boards shall determine those projects that will be selected for financial assistance. The governing boards may establish factors to determine project funding; however, significant weight shall be given to the following factors: 1. Whether the project provides substantial environmental 9/21 /2005 Growth Management 2005 ~ FL Dept of Community Affairs .~ benefits by preventing or limiting adverse water resource impacts. 2. Whether the project reduces competition for water supplies. Page 7 of 10 3. Whether the project brings about replacement of traditional sources in order to help implement a minimum flow or level or a reservation. 4. Whether the project will be implemented by a consumptive use permittee that has achieved the targets contained in a goal-based water conservation program approved pursuant to s. 373.227. 5. The quantity of water supplied by the project as compared to its cost. 6. Projects in which the construction and delivery to end users of reuse water is a major component. 7. Whether the project will be implemented by a multijurisdictional water supply entity or regional water supply authority. (g) Additional factors to be considered in determining project funding shall include: 1. Whether the project is part of a plan to implement two or more alternative water supply projects, all of which will be operated to produce water at a uniform rate for the participants in a multijurisdictional water supply entity or regional water supply authority. 2. The percentage of project costs to be funded by the water supplier or water user. 3. Whether the project proposal includes sufficient preliminary planning and engineering to demonstrate that the project can reasonably be implemented within the timeframes provided in the regional water supply plan. 4. Whether the project is a subsequent phase of an alternative water supply project that is underway. 5. Whether and in what percentage a local government or local government utility is transferring water supply system revenues to the local government general fund in excess of reimbursements for services received from the general fund, including direct and indirect costs and legitimate payments in lieu of taxes. 28. If an alternative water supply project is listed in a regional ana~ement2005/waterfags.cfin 9/21/2005 Growth Management 2005 ~ FL Dept of Community Affairs Page 8 of 10 eater supply plan, does that mean the WMD must fund it? !o, but the project would be eligible for funding under the program if elected by the Governing Board. I9. If a city or county has existing water capacity, can they apply `or future projects in advance? ' NMDs' regional water supply plans have 20-year planning horizons to dentify whether additional water supply will be needed in the future. If a District has determined that certain jurisdictions will need additional water supplies in coming years to serve projected growth, those jurisdictions should start planning for those sources and facilities now. Local governments' early identification of projects needed to meet future demand would demonstrate its commitment to providing adequate water and facilities to serve future growth, encourage the WMD's inclusion of the project in its regional water supply plan, and reflect the local government's desire to obtain funds under the Water Protection and Sustainability Program. Alternative water supply projects can take seven to 12 years to plan, design and construct. Keeping in mind thlicants s from the new program can only be used for construction, app should apply for funds well enough in advance to ensure that the facility can be built and operational in time to meet the projected need. 20. Who should local governments contact to apply for funds? The state's water management districts will administer the alternative water supply funds.

Z3. Can local governments apply for phased funding to implement project construction over time? =unds may be granted for a portion of a project or the entire project, depending on the length of time needed to complete the project, the complexity of the project, and other factors related to the particular Funding cycle. 24. If an application is not funded, can it be resubmitted at a later date? Projects that are not funded initially can be resubmitted at a later date, assuming the project is eligible for funding under the program and was not previously selected due to other higher priority projects, or the project application was amended to correct deficiencies previously identified by the WMD. 25. Once a local government is awarded funds to implement a project, can it modify the application to change or reschedule the project? Any changes to the original application would have to be approved by the WMD. If a modification would affect the original funding decision or result in a substantial delay, the district could redirect the funds to another project. 26. What are the obligations of the local government when it receives funding? The local government must build and operate the project to produce water supplies from the alternative water supply source in accordance with the project proposal approved by the WMD for funding. In addition, the local government must have water rates that promote water conservation and the use of alternative water supplies in accordance with Section 373.1961(3)(j), F.S. (2005). 9/21/2005 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Susan Latvala -Chairman John Morroni -Vice Chairman Calvin D. Harris Karen Williams Seel Robert B. Stewart Barbara Sheen Todd Kenneth T.

By this letter, Pinellas County is providing the City with assurance that Pinellas County Utilities plans for, and provides, the facilities necessary to transmit and distribute potable water within the Pinellas County Water Demand Planning Area (see Figure 1). For the City's purpose, this means that Pinellas County Utilities actively plans for, and can provide the facilities, to meet its wholesale water obligations to the City. Pinellas County Utilities is not, however, responsible for the potable water supply itself. Pinellas County Utilities receives its potable water supply from Tampa Bay Water, Inc., the regional water supply utility. Pinellas County is a member government of the regional utility, and Tampa Bay Water is under agreement with its member governments, including the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners, to supply the potable water to meet all member government water demands. Attached to this letter is correspondence from Tampa Bay Water evidencing this commitment as well as coordination of their Master Water Plan with the Regional Water Supply Plan prepared by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. As you know, Section 163.3177, F.S., now requires assurance that water suppliers coordinate their water supply planning with Regional Water Supply Plans, where appropriate. Also attached to this letter is the 10 Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan prepared by Pinellas County Utilities which reflects the long term funding commitment to the facilities required to support the potable water needs of Pinellas County Utilities' retail and wholesale customers. The Work Plan is compiled to address the entire Water Demand Planning Area, which includes the City.

CONSISTENTLY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.), AND RULE 9J-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (F.A.C.) Introduction: "I~he City of Clearwater's proposed 08-RWSP1 Amendment includes a Potable Water Sub-Element along with a schedule of Capital Improvements to be incorporated into the Utilities Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Department has the following objections and comments to the proposed amendment. A. Objections 1. Lack of a Minimum Ten-year Planning Horizon: The City submitted a Water Supply Plan (Potable Water Sub-Element) along with a schedule of Capital Improvements to be incorporated into the Utilities Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed 1 amendment does not include adequate data and analysis for aTen-year planning timeframe for ~~~5 the Water Plan. The Cityhas•provided potable water demand projections through the year 2025 / but the information in~able 7 did not include reuse offset projections that covers at least ten ~~-- ~~ years. ~,.,- ~~ 30 ~ 4.~Ja-.~ ?'tit,..,,;.,.. - -----V ~____.. [Sections 163.3177(2), (6)(a), and (c); 163.3177(8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2)(c), 4, 5(a), and (6), F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise the Water Supply Plan to include information in Table 7 regarding reuse ol~sets that covers at least the required ten years. 2. Lack of Current Data and Analysis: The Water Supply Plan is not based on current data and analysis. The Water Plan references the City's 2004 Water Master Plan which was prepared prior to Southwest Florida Water Management District's (District) Regional Water Supply Plan adopted in 2006. Additionally, the Water Supply Plan does not include the District's Consumptive Use Permit information, including permit number(s), quantities, and expiration dates for the City's 23 potable water wells. [Sections 163.3177(6)(c); l b3.3177(8), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.005(2)(c), (~), F.A.C.] Recommendation: The City should update as appropriate the City's 2004 Water Master Plan in coordination with the District's Regional Water Supply Plan and the Pinellas County Water Supply Plan, and include the City's 2004 Water Master Plan or excerpts from it as data and analysis. Also, the City should coordinate with the District regarding the Consumptive User Per-rmit info~-~nation for all the municipal potable wells. • • 3. Lack of Policies Guiding Coordination with Southwest Florida Water iVlanagement District: The City did not amend the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to address Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S., which requires a local government to '`update the water supply work plan every five years within 18 months after the governing board of a water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan.'' [Sections 163.3177(5)(b); 163.3177(6)(c) and (h) l ; 163.3177(9)(f) and (g), F.S.; and Rules 9J- 5.011(2)(a) and (b); 9J-5.015(3)(b)1 and (3)(c)I1, F.A.C.] Recommendation: The City should revise the proposed text amendments to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to include a policy that states, '`The City will maintain a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan that is consistent with the Southwest Florida Water Management District's Water Supply Plan by updating the Work Plan within 18 months of an update to the District's Regional Water Supply Plan that affects the City. 4. Inadequate Policy: Adopted Policy 21.7.3 is inadequate because it defers to the Wellhead Protection Ordinance the establishment of guidelines and criteria that will ensure the protection of potable water wellfields instead of establishing them in the comprehensive plan as required. Also, the City did not provide an updated wellhead protection area map based on the supporting data and..analysis. [Sections 163.3177(5)(b), (6)(c), (9)(f) and (g), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.003(90); 9J-5.005(2, 5 and 6); 9J-5.006(3)(c)6, F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise the policy to delete reference to the Wellhead Protection Ordinance and include in the comprehensive plan the guidelines and criteria that will ensure t e protection of wellheads as required. Also, include an updated wellhead protection area map. B. Comments: Pinellas County provides over 60 percent of the City's potable water. The County has an established 2007 to 20101evel of service standard of 120 gallons per capita per day Co , (gpcpd) which will decrease to a level of service standard of 115 gpcpd after 2010. The 616~e~"~S City's comprehensive plan establishes a level of service standard of 120 gallons per capita per day but does not reflect the change to 115 gpcpd after 2010. Since the City receives 60% of its water from Pinellas County, the Department recommends that the City consider using the same per capita standard as the County. Although the City has identified the water conservation programs it currently has in place, the Southwest Florida Water Management District recommends that further language to support water conservation should be developed by the City giving the location of the City within the Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area where groundwater is insufficient (please see the District's letter attached to this memorandum). • ~-,~,~ • In light of the City's agreement acid the Count ~ticipation with Tanlpa Bay Water (TBW), the City should retain references t BW ' Policies 21.2.1 (coordinate building code revisions); and 21.2.6 (assist efforts to augment existing water supplies and provide for future needs). The Water Supply Plan states that the City has an emergency interconnect with Pinellas County and the City of St. Petersburg. The City should discuss in detail how those interconnections operate and the amount of water committed from those interconnections. II. CONSISTENCY WITH STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The proposed amendment is not consistent with and does not further the following goals and objectives of the State Comprehensive Plan [Section187.201, F. S.]: (7) Water Resources; Goal (a) and Policies (b) 3, 5, 11 and 13: these issues pertain to objections 2 through 7; (17) Public Facilities; Goal (a) and Policies (bj 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9: these issues pertain to objections 3 and 7; (25) Plan Implementation: Goal (a) and Policies (b)7: this issue pertains to all of the above objections. Recommendation: Revise the proposed amendment, as indicated in the objections and recommendations of this report in order to further the above goals and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan. ~ • July 14, 2008 Ray Eubanks, Plan Review Administrator Florida Department of Community Affairs Division of Community Planning 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, FL 32399-2100 Subject: City of St. Clearwater 08RWSP1 Dear Mr. Eubanks: fn accordance with Chapter 163, F.S., the staff of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) has reviewed the above referenced Comprehensive Plan amendment and offers the following comments for your consideration. As part of the above referenced amendment package, the City of Clearwater has submitted a Water Plan (Potable Water Sub Element) along with a schedule of Capital Improvements to be incorporated into the Utilities Element of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan. However, it is not clear if this amendment (08RWSP1) is meant to satisfy the requirements of adopting a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for a minimum Ten Year planning horizon set forth in Chapter 163.3177(6)(c), F.S. The amendment does not specify a planning horizon, many of the data tables are for varying time periods, and several maps (Maps 5 and 6) were missing from the packet. The Level of Service outlined in the plan only goes through 2015 and some tables only project through 2010. Furthermore, the City's long range Water Supply Master Plan that is referred to in the review materials was not included in the amendment packet and it is somewhat unclear what the difference is between the included Potable Water Sub Element and the Water Supply Master Plan. The City should clearly define responsibilities for planning, financing, construction, and operation of the water supply facilities by all entities providing service within its jurisdiction for a minimum 10 year period. Further documentation (at least by reference) should be included to illustrate the City's potable water agreement and concurrency planning with Pinellas County, and the City's emergency potable water agreement with the City of St. Petersburg to validate the terms of these relationships. Also, all District Water Use Permit information should be included in the Potable Water Sub Element including permit number(s), quantities, expiration dates, etc. It is important that future withdrawals of groundwater (fresh or brackish) are planned and operated in a manner that is environmentally responsible and • Ray Eubanks .1uly ~4. ?OOFi Page 2 • sustainable. Therefore, the District recommends additional wellhead protection policy language and an updated wellhead protection area map in the Work Plana The City is located within the Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area, where groundwater resources are insufficient to provide for increases in potable water demand. Therefore, the District recommends further language to support conservation and ~°alternative water sources, and the City should quantify conservation programs in more detail to reflect water savings and potable water offset. The Regional Water Supply Plan (RWSP) and associated Appendices provide important information regarding water resource constraints, potential sources (traditional and alternative), regional partnerships, ,demand projections, conservation options, and quantifiable conservation and reclaimed water data. To access the RWSP and the Appendices (4 and 5), please visit: http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/documents/plans/ RWSP. Finally, the District commends the City for conducting several water conservation programs, in-school education programs, and utilizing reclaimed water but further emphasis should be placed on public education and messaging campaigns (e.g., Water C.H.A.M.P.), land use ordinances, and complying with the District's year-round conservation measures as required by Chapter 40D-22, F.A.C. For more information on water conservation including many practical options, please visit the District's on-line library at www.conservationinfo.org. The District appreciates the opportunity to participate in the review of comprehensive plan amendments. Please note that this review does not constitute permit approval under Chapter 373, Florida Statutes (F.S.), or any rules promulgated thereunder, nor does it stand in lieu of normal permitting procedures in accordance with Florida Statutes and District rules.

Our current land use and transportation planning and investment decisions presume that over the next 30 years the transportation network will be quite similar to the last 30 years. And the implicit assumption driving land use and development patterns today is based on the belief that energy supplies will be relatively cheap and readily available. Perhaps planners should challenge this basic assumption and assess the region's capacity to respond to a significant shift in the price and availability of liquid fuels.

Based on County staff review, it is recommended that the City include a policy regarding coordination with Pinellas County and Pinellas County's adopted standards for potable water supply (perhaps under Objective 21) since Pinellas County Utilities provides over 60 percent of the City's potable water supply.

The City proposes to revise the Utility Element to update the Potable Water Sub-Element. Background: Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County. The estimated 2005 population was 110,831 (BEBR). The City covers 21 square miles and has several miles of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. The City has little vacant developable land (less than 3% of the area). Tourism is the number one employer in the City (14,000 people directly employed in it). The City is working to diversify its economic base and to redevelop and revitalize the beautiful Clearwater Beach, a popular tourist destination. The aforementioned information is from the Evaluation and Appraisal Report adopted on September 21, 2006. Comments: Clearwater operates a potable water utility with many wells and completed a Water Master Plan in 2004. However, 63% of the City's daily demand for water is supplied through the purchase of water from Pinellas County. Pinellas County is a member of the Tampa Bay Water (TBW) regional water supply authority but the City is not. TBW works with the water management district to address current and future needs for potable water. The City may acquire additional water from Pinellas County through. the City's intergovernmental water service agreement. In light of the agreement and the County's participation in TBW, the City might consider retaining references to TBW in Policies 21.2.1 (coordinate building code revisions); and 21.2.6 (assist efforts to augment existing water supplies and provide for future needs). We support the additional coordination with TBW in proposed revised Policy 21.6.2 (develop data that will identify safe, reliable potable water yields in existing and future well-fields). Also, we would inquire regarding the dwindling number of customer accounts seen in proposed revised Objective 21.2 (53,430 accounts in 1999; and 40,390 accounts in July, 200. www. dot. state.fl.u s ® RECYCLED PAPER • • Mr. Ray Eubanks June 24, 2008 Page Two We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed Plan amendment. if you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at carol.coilins~a dot.state.fl.us or call me at 813.975.6444 Sincerely, Carol M.

With regards to the other roads I offer the following: • Remember that these LOS values are all PM Peak not daily. Do not get the idea that these roads are operating at Fall day long. • Keene north of Drew is projected to go to LOS F in ten years if no improvements are made to it and that is simply based on the model the MPO uses to project where improvements are needed. Basically a very expensive guess based on future development trends along the corridor. • The other roadways are projected to be LOS F in the same manner as Keene and it is based on the model. Many of these will not be widened as there is not enough funding to do all these roadways. Remember this represents a worst case scenario for planning purposes. • One of the options being considered for mitigating the projected LOS F on these corridors is the use of ATMS and BRT wherever it makes sense to do so. In many cases ATMS will raise the LOS to at least an E and maybe a D.

At work session on Monday, Vice Mayor'Cretekos was asking about the E-F LOS on the roads shown on the Road Network: 2018 Level of Service (Major Road Network) map in our amendments to the Comp Plan (this map is based on the MPO 2025 map of same name) -many are indicated going to E-F from the existing LOS shown on the Existing Major Road Network map. He was a bit concerned that these roads would be going to E or F in 2018 and what will be done about this. Jill S., Gina C. mentioned that developments would need to make any necessary improvements as required (concurrency reviews). I said some of these roads are constrained roadways such as Gulf to Bay Blvd. What else should be said if he mentions it again on Thursday night? One question I have from these maps: Why does Keene Road north of Drew Street go from existing A-C to an F in 10 years? Is this correct? I found this table from you a few months ago. « File: CONSTRAINED ROADS CLEARWATER FROM MPO LOS May { 2008.x1s » Is it still correct?

The policies listed under Section 1.4 of the Comprehensive Plan encourage the use of natural methods toward achieving these goals. Therefore, the District encourages the use of Low Impact Development techniques in this and future redevelopments in Pinellas County as a way to help improve the quality of receiving waters through more natural methods. William S.Bilenky The following list represents several examples of Low Impact Design strategies: General Counsel . Shallow vegetated swales in all parking areas • Appropriate Florida Friend/y plant selections • Small recessed garden areas throughout parking and building landscape areas • Porous pavement and other pervious pavement technologies • Stabilized grass areas for overflow parking • Retention of the maximum amount of existing native vegetation (if applicable) The District appreciates the opportunity to participate in the review of comprehensive plan amendments.

In mid to late May, the Pinellas County Planning Department will have compiled a packet of information, including a letter of assurance that Pinellas County Utilities plans for, and provides, the facilities necessary to transmit and distribute potable water within the Pinellas County Water Demand Planning Area, including to your jurisdiction. In addition, since Tampa Bay Water is the potable water supplier to the Pinellas County Utility System, we will be obtaining similar assurance from them to distribute to our wholesale customers. Pinellas County is also in the process of updating its 10 Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and will provide this information along with the letter of assurance. The 10 Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan will also consider the findings of the SWFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan, particularly with regard to reclaimed water and water conservation commitments. It is our intention that the letter and packet of other information we will be sending you in May will satisfy the Department of Community Affairs that Pinellas County is planning for the long- term wholesale water needs of the City of Clearwater, and that the required coordination has occurred between the County and the City, as well as the County and Tampa Bay Water, and Tampa Bay Water and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Please contact Liz Freeman or Robert Feigel of my planning staff at 464-8200, if you need additional information, or have any questions.

CITY will operate its system in such a manner so as to prevent peaking of flow rates that would place an unequal burden on COUNTY'S facilities and be out of proportion to other customers of COUNTY'S water system. Storage to accommodate peak flow demands will be included by CITY in the design and installation of the distribution system in CITY's water service azea. "Peaking" is recognized to be the rate of flow which for any period of time exceeds a rate one and fifty five hundredths (1.55) times the average gallons per day on a yearly average. 17. All parties agreed that the azea described in Exhibit "B" herein will be the farthest extension of retail water service by CITY into COUNTY's water service azea, regardless of future annexation by CITY. Any encroachment by CITY beyond this service azea boundary into COUNTY'S water service azea, without written agreement from COUNTY, shall constitute breach of this Agreement and COUNTY'S obligation to furnish water beyond the established COUNTY service area boundary shall be void. It is the intent of both parties by adopting and observing this service area to avoid duplication of capital investment and maintenance costs and to render water service to the public as efficiently as possible. CITY recognizes the right of the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners to designate water service azeas for all municipalities in Pinellas County, and accordingly, CITY agrees not to extend any water line into COUNTY's water service area without approval of the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. In the event CITY shall wish to extend its water service area, CITY shall make appropriate application to the Pinellas County Boazd of County Commissioners for the passage of a resolution extending CITY'S 7 • • users. The rate will become effective October 1 of the same fiscal year as the budget, and may then be revised at any time by the Board as necessary to meet the revenue requirements of the COUNTY' S water system. However, revisions after October 1st which result in increased rates will not be effective until at least sixty (60) days after adoption by the County Commission. Adequate notice, of not less than thirty (30) ,,:r,.. ,w,,::- ,.. days, will be given to CITX.before any proposed rate increase.is adopted... The following factors shall be used in determining the municipal rate referred to herein: A. Operation, maintenance, renewal and administrative costs. B. Payment obligations of annual principal and interest payments on COUNTY'S water system bonded indebtedness. C. Collection of coverage or other reserves as required by Bond Resolutions and Ordinances. D. Pro-rata share of the costs of providing treatment, transmission and storage facilities for expansion through revenues of water sales. E. Payment of the cost of the water to COUNTY purchased from other agencies, plus other costs to COUNTY required to furnish water to CITY as described in A through D of this pazagraph. 14. On or before March 1 each year during the term of this Agreement, CITY will notify COUNTY on form provided by COUNTY of CTTY's projected requirement by the month for forthcoming year, together with a five (5) year projection of usage. 15. CITY will accept the potable water at the pressure in COUNTY's transmission mains. Not withstanding paragraph 8 above, COUNTY will make every effort to maintain a minimum of 35 psi static pressure or greater at all points of delivery to CITY. 6 0 0 1 measuring devices,and compute the volume of water that has been quantified by the measuring device during the billing cycle. CITY will, within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the bill, make payment to COUNTY of the amount shown on the bill. Failure of CITY to pay when due any amounts billed,- under the terms of this Agreement, shall constitute breach of this Agreement and COUNTY's obligation to furnish water may then be voided at COUNTY.'s option.. Prior to voiding the agreement, City shall provide written notice of any disputed amounts billed within ten (10) days of receipt of such billing. The parties shall resolve said disputed amount within thirty (30) days of the date of City's notice of dispute or submit the controversy to arbitration, to be settled in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. However, either party may reject the arbitration award by commencing legal action on the dispute within thirty (30) days after the rendering of the award. If rejected by the commencement of a legal action as provided in this paragraph, the award shall be deemed void and shall not be admissible for any purpose in the legal action. Unless the award .is rejected as provided in this paragraph, the circuit court of the county in which the award is made may enter judgment confirming the award. If payment is not made within the time provided in Section 218.335, Florida Statutes, the CITY will pay to the COUNTY interest at the rate established by Section 55.03, Florida Statutes. 13. CITY will be billed for the water recorded by the flow measuring device at the wholesale rate established by the Board of County Commissioners. The wholesale rate will be based on a pro-rata share of revenue requirements of the COUNTY'S water system to include only those reasonable treatment and transmission costs that can be shown to be required for the supply of water to COUNTY wholesale water 5 • . . delivery related to one of the causes stated in this pazagraph. 9. It is recognized by both parties hereto that COUNTY supplies water to other municipalities on a wholesale basis, and also to many thousands of retail users, and it is agreed that at any time when the total demand for water by all of the users, including CITY, exceeds the capacity of COUNTY'S water supply and distribution -- ~ ~ - «L system; both wholesale.and retail customers will receive equal priority_for the supply _ .... of water; and in such event, the inability of the COUNTY to supply either the wholesale or retail customers' full requirements and needs shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement on the part of COUNTY. CITY agrees that should the Director of Pinellas County Utilities declare an emergency to exist in the supply of water for COUNTY'S water system, the Director shall have the right and complete authority to allocate or pro-rate water supply to CITY based upon existing needs of the system, past and present demands on the system by CITY, and all other reasonable circumstances then existing at the time of the emergency. I0. In the event that COUNTY is unable to furnish the amount of water CITY needs to supply its service azea, CITY shall be entitled to purchase water from other sources for such supply until such time as COUNTY can again furnish CITY'S water needs. 11. All water delivered under this Agreement shall conform to applicable State and Federal laws and regulations and the standards of the State of Florida Department of Health and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. COUNTY will notify the CITY if water provided to the CITY fails to meet any of the above Federal or State of Florida regulations or standards. 12. COUNTY will bill CITY for water used on a monthly billing cycle. Each month COUNTY will read and record the reading on the register of each of the flow 4 o by either party, such party shall pay for all relocation costs. 6. The ownership of the flow measuring and backflow devices will remain with CITY. CITY will not change, alter, add to, or take away any part of any flow measuring or backflow device without prior approval of COUNTY. COUNTY will, at its expense, install and retain ownership of the telemetering line from the measuring device to the point of readout. ... ~. To assure accuracy, the flow-measuring devices shall be tested yearly by COUNTY with results delivered to CTI'Y's Utilities Director within 30 days of test. At other intervals of time, should any question arise as to the accuracy of any flow measuring device, CITY may require any or all of the flow measuring devices to be tested. Should the tests show the flow measuring device to be registering within an accuracy of two and one half (2-1/2) percent, CITY shall bear all the expense incurred in the testing. If tie tests show the flow measuring device not to be registering within two and one half (2-1/2) percent accuracy, COUNTY will pay all the expense incurred in the testing and will immediately repair the flow measuring device. For any meter found inaccurate, COUNTY will adjust the previous month's or months bills, as appropriate, to reflect the result of the test. S. COUNTY agrees that the supply of water to be delivered hereunder shall be at all times continuous, except that temporary cessation of delivery of water at any time by an Act of God, fires, strikes, casualties, accidents, breakdowns of or injuries to machinery, pumps or pipelines, civil or military authority, insurrection, riot or any other cause beyond the control of COUNTY shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement on the part of COUNTY, and COUNTY shall not in such case be liable to CITY or its inhabitants for any damage resulting from an unavoidable cessation of • • ;., ,~, ~..... . remains on a standby status to the CITY, for that portion obtained elsewhere, the CITY will be chazged a standby fee, that will be determined at the time the CITY obtains water from other sources. 3.

Should any contamination or possibility of contamination occur in either party's water system, or should any other situation occur in either party's system that would in any manner contaminate the other party's water supply, the causing party will be responsible for any damage to the other party's water system which occurs from such conditions and shall immediately correct the cause of such contamination, take all necessary precautions to insure the protection of the other party's water supply and water system, and shall, if possible, within thirty (30) minutes of knowledge of such occurrence, notify the office of the other's party's Director of Utilities. If the CITY does not provide an ongoing cross connection control program, the COUNTY may require the installation of backflow devices at the meter connection. 5. The quantity of water delivered to CITY shall be quantified by a measuring device of standazd make and sufficient size, selected and maintained by COUNTY. The measuring device shall be equipped with an indicating and recording register and a transmitter for telemetering remote readout.

INTRODUCTION The 2002 Legislature expanded the local government comprehensive plan requirements to strengthen coordination of water supply planning and local land use planning. One of the most significant new requirements is a Long Range Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) identifying needed water supply facilities for at least a 10-year planning period. ,~ These new requirements direct each local government to: 1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of their comprehensive plan with the appropriate water management district's regional water supply plan(s). (see s.163.3177(4)(a), F.S.) ~ 2. Revise the Potable Water sub-element to consider the regional water supply plan(s) of the appropriate water management district(s). (s.163.3177(6)(c), F.S.) 3. Revise the Potable Water sub-element to include a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for at least a 10-year planning period addressing water supply facilities necessary to serve existing and new development and for which the local government is responsible. (s.163.3177(6)(c), F.S.) 4. Revise the Conservation Element to assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period considering the appropriate regional water supply plan(s) or, in the absence of an approved regional water supply plan(s), the district water management plan(s). (s.163.3177(6)(d), F.S.) 5. Revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with the applicable regional water supply plan(s). (s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.) 6. Consider, during preparation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, the appropriate regional water supply plan. (s.163.3191(2)(1), F.S.) 7. During preparation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report and adoption of EAR- based amendments, revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. (x.163.3191(2)(1), F.S.) These guidelines have been prepared to help local governments understand their responsibilities under the legislation, the data and analysis that must be collected to prepare the Work Plan, and the amendments to the comprehensive plan that are required. Also included is a list of sources of information that local governments can use to assist them. i Page 3 of 21 t 1 ~~ ~~ 1 B. WHEN TO ADOPT THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN AMENDMENT Initially, only those local governments having responsibility for all or a portion of their water supply facilities and located within an area for which the water management district has prepared a Regional Water Supply Plan (RWSP) must prepare and adopt the Work Plan. See Attachment A for a map depicting areas where RWSPs have been prepared and Attachment B for an overview of the RWSPs. Eventually, however, all local governments with water supply facility responsibilities must prepare and adopt a Work Plan. 1. Local governments having responsibility for water supply facilities and located within designated areas with approved RWSPs should, by January 1, 2005, or the EAR due date, whichever is earlier: a) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to incorporate consideration of the appropriate RWSP (see Section A, paragraph 2, of these Guidelines). b) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for at least a 10-year period for those water supply facilities necessary to serve existing and new development and for which they are responsible (see Section A, paragraph 3, of these Guidelines). Amend, if necessary, the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements (this will ensure consistency between the Potable Water Sub-element and the Capital Improvements Element). c) During the regularly scheduled EAR update, the local government must also comply with corollary requirements for the conservation element and intergovernmental coordination element (see Section A, paragraphs 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of these Guidelines). While these corollary requirements are not explicitly required for the completion of the Work Plan due January 1, 2005, it is recommended they be completed concurrently to provide assurance that the Work Plan adequately addresses the water supply facilities needed for the projected 10- yearperiod. 2. Local governments having no responsibility for water supply facilities and located within designated areas with approved RWSPs should by January 1, 2005 submit to DCA a letter and supporting documentation from the water supplier confirming that the water supplier has identified adequate sources, considering the RWSP, and has made necessary infrastructure plans to serve the agreed upon need projected for your community. 3. Local governments that are not located within areas with approved RWSPs should, as part of their EAR-based amendment, complete all of the above requirements. When revising the Conservation Element to include projected needs and sources, consideration should be given to the district's water management plan including the Districtwide Water Supply Assessment, since no RWSP exists for these areas. [Note: A RWSP could exist for portions of these areas in the future. ] Page 4 of 21 C. PREPARING FOR THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN AMENDMENT 1. Objective of the Work Plan: The Water Supply Facilities Work Plan should ensure the construction of water supply facilities that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year planning period. The Work Plan should address those facilities for which the local government is responsible. In areas where local governments rely on regional water supply authorities or other water suppliers to provide all or a portion of the community's water supply, the Work Plan must address both the provider's plans and also the local government's own water infrastructure needs. The Work Plan will strengthen the coordination between local government land use planning responsibilities, water supply facilities planning activities and the water resource development responsibilities of the water management districts. 2. Determine Due Date: First, determine when your Work Plan amendment should be adopted (see Section B on page 4 of these Guidelines and Attachment B). Determine the date by which you will need to transmit the proposed amendment in order to be able to adopt the amendment by the scheduled due date. Schedule the completion of the proposed Work Plan amendment to occur prior to the local planning agency and local government hearing dates. 3. Coordination With Your Water Management District: When preparing your Work Plan you must consider the plans of the water management district. If your community is located in an area with an approved RWSP, you will need to coordinate with the district regarding demand projections, the use of appropriate water sources to meet projected demand and the use of water conservation and reuse strategies. Other communities not located in regional water supply planning areas will need to consider the district water management plan. See Section A, paragraph 4, on page 3 of these Guidelines. Regardless of where your community is located, ask the district to identify the relevant aspects of their plans that you should consider when formulating your Work Plan. Remember that district water resources planning is a process and the plans are ' updated periodically. As part of their planning process, the district may have relevant information that is not contained within a given plan published on a specific date. Be sure to inquire about the availability of more recent information that might be useful to you. Ask the water management district to designate one person as your point of contact 1 for all of the information and assistance you will need from the district. A single point of contact will greatly facilitate coordination between you and the district. ' Close coordination with the district can avoid concerns when the district reviews your proposed Work Plan amendment . RWSP's are prepared fora 20-year planning timeframe and most include demand projections for five-year increments, such as 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. It is recommended that you choose along-range planning timeframe that corresponds to Page 5 of 21 one of the district's five-year planning increments. This will greatly facilitate the sharing and use of consistent data. For example, if normally your 10-year planning period would be say, 2018, you should choose 2020 as your planning timeframe (you would still only need to adopt a 10-year facilities Work Plan). 4. Coordination With Your Water Supplier: In addition to the water management district, your other partner will be the entity that supplies water to your community. This could be your own water utility department, the water utility of another local government, a private water utility, a regional water authority or some combination of these four. You should identify your water supplier(s) and request a single point of 1 contact as your partner in preparing the Work Plan. Many small developments, such as trailer parks and condominiums, are self-supplied. They should be inventoried, but not considered for planning purposes because of their limited development potential. 5. Define Extent of Community Involvement: Next, determine the extent to which your local government is or plans to be involved with the construction, operation, financing and planning for water supply facilities (including facilities provided by regional water supply authorities or other water suppliers, as well as the infrastructure facilities provided by the local government). Involvement can range from none to total control by your local government for withdrawing, treating and distributing potable water and reuse water. In general, the more your community is involved with water supply planning, including water reuse, the more extensive your Work Plan. t Three common water supply situations are discussed below. a. Total Involvement: If your local government owns or has responsibility for all 1 the water supply facilities that serve its community, then you will need to: 1) Project your community's water supply needs for at least aten-year planning period. ' 2) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include a Work Plan showing how your local government will meet those needs, reflecting consideration of the RWSP, particularly with regard to adequacy of sources. 3) Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements for any capital improvements needed during the first five years and goals, objective and policies in the plan, as needed. 1 Page 6 of 21 b. Partial Involvement: If your local government owns or has responsibility for some (most commonly the distribution network), but not all of the water supply facilities, then you must: 1) Project your community's water supply needs for at least aten-year planning period. 2) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include a Work Plan for those facilities for which your local government has responsibility showing how those needs will be met, reflecting consideration of the RWSP, particularly 1 with regard to adequacy of sources. 3) Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements for any 1 capital improvements needed during the first five years and goals, objective and policies in the plan, as needed. ~~ 4) Coordinate with your water supplier(s), which may include another local government(s), to ensure that the supplier(s) will be able to provide enough water to meet the projected need. The information obtained from the water supplier should include: a. Information from the current consumptive use permit, including permit number, authorized average and maximum daily withdrawal, and permit expiration date. b. Projected demand by type of water user for at least aten-year planning period. c. Identification of existing and planned future water sources; the supply plan identified by each supplier should reflect consideration of the RWSP. 5) If another local government is a water supplier to your community, you should verify that the Work Plan of the supplying government identifies the sources and facilities needed to meet the portion of the projected need of your community for which the supplying local government is responsible. 6) Coordinate with the water management district regarding the ability of your water supplier(s) to meet the projected need, particularly with respect to sources and conservation and reuse strategies. 7) For those components of the water supply system for which your local government does not have responsibility, submit to DCA a letter and supporting documentation from the water supplier confirming that the water supplier has identified adequate sources, considering the RWSP, and made necessary infrastructure plans to serve the need. Page 7 of 21 c. No Involvement: If your local government does not own or have responsibility for any of the water supply facilities that serve its community, then you will need to: 1) Project your community's water supply needs for at least aten-year planning period. 1 2) Coordinate with your water supplier(s), which may include another local government(s), to ensure that the supplier(s) will be able to provide enough water to meet your projected need. The information obtained from the water supplier should include: a. Information from the current consumptive. use permit, including permit number, authorized average and maximum daily withdrawal, and permit expiration date. b. Projected demand by type of water user for at least aten-year planning period; your projected demand and your water supplier's projected demand should be in agreement. c. Identification of existing and planned future water sources; the supply plan identified by each supplier should reflect consideration of the RWSP. d. Identification of water supply facilities needed to serve the agreed upon projected need. The source of water identified by each supplier should reflect consideration of the RWSP. 3) Coordinate with the water management district regarding the ability of the water supplier to meet the projected need, particularly with respect to sources and the use of appropriate water conservation and reuse strategies. Local governments having no responsibility for water supply facilities and located within designated areas with approved RWSPs should by January 1, 2005 submit to DCA a letter and supporting documentation from the water supplier confirming that the water supplier has identified adequate sources, considering the RWSP, and has made necessary infrastructure plans to serve the agreed upon need projected for your community. Local governments having no responsibility for water supply facilities and located outside designated areas with approved RWSPs should incorporate the above requirements into the amendment that updates their comprehensive plan following adoption of their Evaluation and Appraisal Report. 6. Review of Your Current Comprehensive Plan: Review your current comprehensive plan to identify the text, goals, objectives and policies that integrate this Work Plan into the comprehensive plan. This could be done by listing each comprehensive plan element that either contains, or should contain, text, goals, objectives or policies implementing the Work Plan. Typically, the elements would be Conservation, Potable Water, Capital Improvements and Intergovernmental Coordination, but could include more elements. Identify revisions necessary to integrate the Work Plan in the comprehensive plan. For Page 8 of 21 1 ' example, in the Potable Water Sub-element the text should be updated to include the Work Plan, and the goals, objectives and policies should be made consistent with strategies in the Work Plan that address the selection of water sources, improvements of facilities, conservation and reuse. The Conservation Element should be updated to be ' consistent with the assessment of the current and projected water needs and sources, considering the appropriate RWSP, or, in the absence of a RWSP, the district water management plan. The Intergovernmental Coordination Element should be updated to show relationships, and state principles and guidelines to be used to achieve coordination of the comprehensive plan (including the Work Plan) with the applicable regional water supply plan. It is likely that the degree to which the current comprehensive plan will need to be updated will depend on the extent to which your community is involved in water supply facilities. ' 7. Evaluation and Appraisal Report: During the regularly scheduled EAR update, local governments must also comply with corollary requirements for the Conservation Element and Intergovernmental Coordination Element. For the Conservation Element, they must "assess their current, as well as projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan ...or, in the absence of a regional water supply plan, the district water management plan...." For the ' Intergovernmental Coordination Element, they must show "relationships" and state "principles" and "guidelines" to be used in the accomplishment of coordination of the adopted comprehensive plan with the applicable regional water supply plan or the water management district plan. While the corollary requirements are not explicitly required for the completion of the Work Plans due by January 1, 2005, it is recommended they be completed concurrently to provide assurance that the Work Plan adequately addresses the water supply facilities ' needed for the projected ten-year period. ' D. INFORMATION TO INCLUDE IN THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN AMENDMENT Like all plan amendments, the Work Plan amendment should be based upon information relevant to your community's unique circumstances. As outlined in Section C, paragraph 5, above, the content of your Work Plan will vary depending on the degree of your community's involvement in water supply facilities planning. In addition to the information outlined in Section C, above, the Work Plan amendment must include the following: 1 Page 9 of 21 i 1. Supporting Data and Analysis: a. Existing Facilities: Identify the existing potable water facilities for which ' your local government is responsible, including the location of wells (or intake point from a surface water source), treatment and storage facilities, and the major distribution mains. Compile information regarding the design capacity of the production and treatment facilities, the current demand on these facilities, the geographic area served and relevant consumptive use permit conditions and duration. If your local government is not responsible for all of the existing water supply facilities, identify the responsible entities by service area. Identify conservation and reuse practices. ' b. Water supply facilities include all of the infrastructure necessary to withdraw water from its source, and to transmit, treat and distribute the water and any associated storage facilities. The location of water sources (wells, surface 1 water), storage facilities (in-ground, above ground) and utility lines should be depicted on maps of a scale and level of detail appropriate to your community's situation. For example, for a major county it would be ' impracticable to depict the smallest lines serving individual customers. However, for a small city this information maybe readily available and easily displayed. In general, maps depicting the location of the largest utility lines (say, 24"), the intermediate sized lines (say, 20", 16", 12" and 10") and the smaller lines (say, 8" and 6") should be included in the Work Plan. ArcView 1 shape files could be created for each of these seven different line sizes. When combined together these seven files provide a good indication of the community's current service area (that portion of the community that is currently served by water facilities). Proposed facilities can be added to the ' appropriate coverage and the results combined to depict the location of proposed facilities for various future time periods. The following tables illustrate a convenient format for comparing projected demand, facility capacity and permit conditions. The first table reveals the ' need to increase permitted withdrawals to accommodate anticipated growth and system expansion. The second table shows one way to portray a situation where the permitted CUP allocation is unlikely to be expanded due to source ' limitations and a deficit is avoided by planning to purchase raw water from an adjacent supplier. i~ Page 10 of 21 u 1 ii 1 1 u 1 Present 2008 2010 201...5 Po ulation Served 1,722 3,073 3,598 3,955 Avg.

Service Areas: For each geographic service area (the area within your jurisdiction provided with service by a water facility), prepare a map showing its spatial extent, prepare a facility capacity analysis and note capacity surpluses and deficiencies for: Page 11 of 21 1 1 n ~' a. Existing conditions, including geographic area served, population served and level of service. b.

Identify water supply facilities needed to serve projected growth and development for each geographic service area for at least the next 10-year period, including relevant information for each facility, such as capacity in average daily flow and maximum daily flow. d. Water Sources: The Work Plan should demonstrate that a sufficient supply of water will be available to meet projected needs. Needed water might be supplied from more than one source. Conservation and reuse should be examined as critical techniques to reduce the demand for potable water. The water management district is an excellent source of information about water sources and you should coordinate closely with them. If your community is located within a RWSP area, you should review the Regional Water Supply Plan with the district staff. You will want to make sure that you have used compatible projections of water demands and that your conclusions regarding water source availability are compatible. You should consider the use of water sources, or some combination of sources, identified in the RWSP. 2. Adopted Portion of the Work Plan Amendment: Based on the supporting data and analysis, the adopted Work Plan amendment should include: a. A Long-Range Water Supply Facilities Work Plan listing the potable water facilities that will be needed during at least the next 10-year period, including relevant information for each facility, such as capacity in average daily flow and maximum daily flow. Place those listed facilities in priority order. For each listed facility, identify: a. The anticipated year of construction, considering the need for permitting and construction b. The water source to be utilized c. The estimated cost of construction d. The source of funds b. Any facilities identified in the Work Plan as being needed during the first five years should be adopted as a revision to the financially feasible Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. c. Any needed revisions to the goals, objectives and policies of the Potable Water Sub-element. Page 12 of 21 ' d.

During the regularly scheduled EAR update, the local government must also ' comply with corollary requirements for the conservation element and intergovernnmental coordination element (see paragraphs 4 and 5 on page three of these guidelines). While these corollary requirements are not explicitly required ' for the completion of the Work Plan amendment due January 1, 2005, it is recommended they be completed concurrently to provide assurance that the Work Plan adequately addresses needed the water supply facilities. ~I [i 1 1 Page 13 of 21 ii 1 ~' 1 1 ATTACHMENT A Map Depicting Work Plan Due Dates Page 14 of 21 Nolmec Jackson ashinpton Nassau Gadcden Namdton Glhoun Icon <I/erso Madison y oval Ba Ilbeny VUakulla umbia Bake 1 Bum annee Taglor n' Gay Gult iranklin ~w lahyette ^Fadbr Ilcbdst Pla chug PM Di.ie levy Marion (1) Areas Where Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is Due by ~ ~~, ~ p ~„ ® EAR-Based Amendment Due Dale Pine Yaa Mdlan (2) Areas Where Regional Water Supply Plans Have Been Prepared and Work Plan Must be Adopted by 1!1/05 NWFWMD -- Planning Region II SFWMD -Kissimmee Basin SFWMD -Lower East Coast \~~~ -SFWMD - Lower W est Coast ®SFWMD -- Upper Easi Coast ~~` ~\ SJRWMD /, SWFWMD --Central and Southern Regions \, \\ , (3) Areas Where County Work Plans are Due by EAR \~~ j/ Due Date as Shown, Earlierthan 1/1/05 Due Date 2003 2004 Monroe eaopa ~ Page 15 of 21 ' Attachment B ' Overview of Re Tonal Water Su 1 Plans g nn v The following briefly summarizes the RWSPs to give an indication of the type of information and assistance that is available from the water management district. The 1 attached map depicts the areas of the state for which RWSPs have been prepared. A RWSP includes a projection of water demands and an identification of potential sources of water to meet these demands. The RWSP looks forward in time for 20 years and is intended to provide the framework for future water supply decisions in the areas where it has been determined that traditional sources of water are not adequate to provide for future needs while sustaining the water resources and related natural systems. Within these area existing and reasonably anticipated sources of water and conservation efforts may not be adequate to (1) supply water for all existing legal users and reasonably ' anticipated future needs and (2) to sustain the water resources and related natural systems. The RWSP identifies potential water supply source options for water supply development, including traditional and alternative sources that will exceed the needs projected by the district. The RWSP also estimates the associated costs for developing these sources. The water source options identified in the RWSP represent a "menu" of possible options for water supply development from which local governments, government-owned and privately owned utilities, self-suppliers and others may choose. The options are provided as reasonable concepts that water users in the region can pursue ' in their water supply planning. Water users may want to select a water supply option as presented in the plan or combine elements of different options that better suit their water supply needs. Additionally, the plan provides information to assist water users in developing funding strategies to construct water supply development projects. ' For planning purposes, water use is separated into six basic categories: agriculture; public supply; domestic supply (including small public supply systems); commercial/industrial and mining/dewatering; thermoelectric power production; and recreation aesthetic. The RWSP identifies potential sources of water capable of meeting projected demand, and options for developing those sources. Sources include (1) new well fields, (2) increased use of reclaimed water, (3) storage reservoirs, (4) surface water withdrawals, (5) aquifer ' storage and recovery, (6) reverse osmosis/desalination (7) conservation. The RWSP includes planning level analyses for each of these sources of water to quantify available water supplies, identify development options, and estimate costs associated with water ' supply development. 1 ' Page 16 of 21 ' The RWSP projects future water supply needs for 20 years and identifies the methods and assumptions used in projecting future demand. Sources of water anticipated to be ' available to meet current and future demands are identified, including a description of existing sources and the ability of each to assist in meeting current demands. The amount ' of water potentially available from each source to meet demands for 20 years is estimated. In addition, the projected demands are compared to available water sources in order to identify deficits that would need to be met by alternative sources. The RWSP describes ' water supply projects currently under development for which districts are providing assistance. Finally, the RWSP contains a list of water supply options that could potentially be developed by regional water supply authorities, public utilities, local governments, public/private water users, etc. The goal of the RWSP is to identify sufficient sources of water within the planning region ' to meet projected water demands. Water supply options and cost estimates are provided to assist users in determining how best to meet their particular demands. It is anticipated that users may want to choose an option or combine elements of different options that ' best fit their needs for water supply development. Prior to future development of any water supply option, it will be necessary to meet the conditions for issuance of and obtain all applicable permits. Following a decision to pursue any option identified in the RWSP, ' it will be necessary for the interested party (ies) to conduct more detailed engineering, hydrologic, economic and biological assessments to provide the necessary technical support for developing the option. Prelimina technical and financial feasibilit anal ses are conducted on selected o tions n' Y Y p ' for each water source. These are considered to be planning level analyses and are prepared to more fully develop concepts for water supply and resource development options. The analyses provide reasonable estimates of the quantity of water that could be developed and the associated costs for development. Each RWSP is updated every five years. All the districts are developing updated information that will be available in the 2005 RWSP updates. Local governments should consult with their respective districts to obtain the latest and most detailed information available. 1 ' Page 17 of 21 1 1 1 1 1 Attachment C Selected Sources Of Information and Contacts Selected Data Sources: 1.

INTRODUCTION The 2002 Legislature expanded the local government comprehensive plan requirements to strengthen coordination of water supply planning and local land use planning. One of the most significant new requirements is a Long Range Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) identifying needed water supply facilities for at least a 10-year planning period. These new requirements direct each local government to: Coordinate appropriate aspects of their comprehensive plan with the appropriate water management district's regional water supply plan(s). (see s.163.3177(4)(a), F.S.) 2. Revise the Potable Water sub-element to consider the regional water supply plan(s) of the appropriate water management district(s). (s.163.3177(6)(c), F.S.) Revise the Potable Water sub-element to include a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for at least a 10-year planning period addressing water supply facilities necessary to serve existing and new development and for which the local government is responsible. (s.163.3177(6)(c), F.S.) 4. Revise the Conservation Element to assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period considering the appropriate regional water supply plan(s) or, in the absence of an approved regional water supply plan(s), the district water management plan(s). (s.163.3177(6)(d), F.S.) 5. Revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with the applicable regional water supply plan(s). (s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.) 6. Consider, during preparation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, the appropriate regional water supply plan. (x.163.3191(2)(1), F.S.) 7. During preparation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report and adoption of EAR- based amendments, revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. (x.163.3191(2)(1), F.S.) These guidelines have been prepared to help local governments understand their responsibilities under the legislation, the data and analysis that must be collected to prepare the Work Plan, and the amendments to the comprehensive plan that are required. Also included is a list of sources of information that local governments can use to assist them. Page 3 of 21 • • B. WHEN TO ADOPT THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN AMENDMENT Initially, only those local governments having responsibility for all or a portion of their water supply facilities and located within an area for which the water management district has prepared a Regional Water Supply Plan (RWSP) must prepare and adopt the Work Plan. See Attachment A for a map depicting areas where RWSPs have been prepared and Attachment B for an overview of the RWSPs. Eventually, however, all local governments with water supply facility responsibilities must prepare and adopt a Work Plan. 1. Local governments having responsibility for water supply facilities and located within designated areas with approved RWSPs should, by January 1, 2005, or the EAR due date, whichever is earlier: a) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to incorporate consideration of the appropriate RWSP (see Section A, paragraph 2, of these Guidelines). b) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan for at least a 10-year period for those water supply facilities necessary to serve existing and new development and for which they are responsible (see Section A, paragraph 3, of these Guidelines). Amend, if necessary, the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements (this will ensure consistency between the Potable Water Sub-element and the Capital Improvements Element). c) During the regularly scheduled EAR update, the local government must also comply with corollary requirements for the conservation element and intergovernmental coordination element (see Section A, paragraphs 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of these Guidelines). While these corollary requirements are not explicitly required for the completion of the Work Plan due January 1, 2005, it is recommended they be completed concurrently to provide assurance that the Work Plan adequately addresses the water supply facilities needed for the projected 10- year period. 2. Local governments having no responsibility for water supply facilities and located within designated areas with approved RWSPs should by January 1, 2005 submit to DCA a letter and supporting documentation from the water supplier confirming that the water supplier has identified adequate sources, considering the RWSP, and has made necessary infrastructure plans to serve the agreed upon need projected for your community. 3. Local governments that are not located within areas with approved RWSPs should, as part of their EAR-based amendment, complete all of the above requirements. When revising the Conservation Element to include projected needs and sources, consideration should be given to the district's water management plan including the Districtwide Water Supply Assessment, since no RWSP exists for these areas. [Note: A RWSP could exist for portions of these areas in the future.] Page 4 of 21 • • C. PREPARING FOR THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN AMENDMENT 1. Objective of the Work Plan: The Water Supply Facilities Work Plan should ensure the construction of water supply facilities that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year planning period. The Work Plan should address those facilities for which the local government is responsible. In areas where local governments rely on regional water supply authorities or other water suppliers to provide all or a portion of the community's water supply, the Work Plan must address both the provider's plans and also the local government's own water infrastructure needs. The Work Plan will strengthen the coordination between local government land use planning responsibilities, water supply facilities planning activities and the water resource development responsibilities of the water management districts. 2. Determine Due Date: First, determine when your Work Plan amendment should be adopted (see Section B on page 4 of these Guidelines and Attachment B). Determine the date by which you will need to transmit the proposed amendment in order to be able to adopt the amendment by the scheduled due date. Schedule the completion of the proposed Work Plan amendment to occur prior to the local planning agency and local government hearing dates. 3. Coordination With Your Water Management District: When preparing your Work Plan you must consider the plans of the water management district. If your community is located in an area with an approved RWSP, you will need to coordinate with the district regarding demand projections, the use of appropriate water sources to meet projected demand and the use of water conservation and reuse strategies. Other communities not located in regional water supply planning areas will need to consider the district water management plan. See Section A, paragraph 4, on page 3 of these Guidelines. Regardless of where your community is located, ask the district to identify the relevant aspects of their plans that you should consider when formulating your Work Plan. Remember that district water resources planning is a process and the plans are updated periodically. As part of their planning process, the district may have relevant information that is not contained within a given plan published on a specific date. Be sure to inquire about the availability of more recent information that might be useful to you. Ask the water management district to designate one person as your point of contact for all of the information and assistance you will need from the district. A single point of contact will greatly facilitate coordination between you and the district. Close coordination with the district can avoid concerns when the district reviews your proposed Work Plan amendment. RWSP's are prepared fora 20-year planning timeframe and most include demand projections for five-year increments, such as 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. It is Page 5 of 21 • • recommended that you choose along-range planning timeframe that corresponds to one of the district's five-year planning increments. This will greatly facilitate the sharing and use of consistent data. For example, if normally your 10-year planning period would be say, 2018, you should choose 2020 as your planning timeframe (you would still only need to adopt a 10-year facilities Work Plan). 4. Coordination With Your Water Supplier: In addition to the water management district, your other partner will be the entity that supplies water to your community. This could be your own water utility department, the water utility of another local government, a private water utility, a regional water authority or some combination of these four. You should identify your water supplier(s) and request a single point of contact as your partner in preparing the Work Plan. Many small developments, such as trailer parks and condominiums, are self-supplied. They should be inventoried, but not considered for planning purposes because of their limited development potential. 5. Define Extent of Community Involvement: Next, determine the extent to which your local government is or plans to be involved with the construction, operation, financing and planning for water supply facilities (including facilities provided by regional water supply authorities or other water suppliers, as well as the infrastructure facilities provided by the local government). Involvement can range from none to total control by your local government for withdrawing, treating and distributing potable water and reuse water. In general, the more your community is involved with water supply planning, including water reuse, the more extensive your Work Plan. Three common water supply situations are discussed below. a. Total Involvement: If your local government owns or has responsibility for all the water supply facilities that serve its community, then you will need to: 1) Project your community's water supply needs for at least aten-year planning period. 2) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include a Work Plan showing how your local government will meet those needs, reflecting consideration of the RWSP, particularly with regard to adequacy of sources. 3) Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements for any capital improvements needed during the first five years and goals, objective and policies in the plan, as needed. Page 6 of 21 • • b. Partial Involvement: If your local government owns or has responsibility for some (most commonly the distribution network), but not all of the water supply facilities, then you must: 1) Project your community's water supply needs for at least aten-year planning period. 2) Revise the Potable Water Sub-element to include a Work Plan for those facilities for which your local government has responsibility showing how those needs will be met, reflecting consideration of the RWSP, particularly with regard to adequacy of sources. 3) Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements for any capital improvements needed during the first five years and goals, objective and policies in the plan, as needed. 4) Coordinate with your water supplier(s), which may include another local government(s), to ensure that the supplier(s) will be able to provide enough water to meet the projected need. The information obtained from the water supplier should include: a. Information from the current consumptive use permit, including permit number, authorized average and maximum daily withdrawal, and permit expiration date. b. Projected demand by type of water user for at least aten-year planning period. c. Identification of existing and planned future water sources; the supply plan identified by each supplier should reflect consideration of the RWSP. 5) If another local government is a water supplier to your community, you should verify that the Work Plan of the supplying government identifies the sources and facilities needed to meet the portion of the projected need of your community for which the supplying local government is responsible. 6) Coordinate with the water management district regarding the ability of your water supplier(s) to meet the projected need, particularly with respect to sources and conservation and reuse strategies. 7) For those components of the water supply system for which your local government does not have responsibility, submit to DCA a letter and supporting documentation from the water supplier confirming that the water supplier has identified adequate sources, considering the RWSP, and made necessary infrastructure plans to serve the need. Page 7 of 21 • • No Involvement: If your local government does not own or have responsibility for any of the water supply facilities that serve its community, then you will need to: 1) Project your community's water supply needs for at least aten-year planning period. 2) Coordinate with your water supplier(s), which may include another local government(s), to ensure that the supplier(s) will be able to provide enough water to meet your projected need. The information obtained from the water supplier should include: a. Information from the current consumptive use permit, including permit number, authorized average and maximum daily withdrawal, and permit expiration date. b. Projected demand by type of water user for at least aten-year planning period; your projected demand and your water supplier's projected demand should be in agreement. c. Identification of existing and planned future water sources; the supply plan identified by each supplier should reflect consideration of the RWSP. d. Identification of water supply facilities needed to serve the agreed upon projected need. The source of water identified by each supplier should reflect consideration of the RWSP. 3) Coordinate with the water management district regarding the ability of the water supplier to meet the projected need, particularly with respect to sources and the use of appropriate water conservation and reuse strategies. Local governments having no responsibility for water supply facilities and located within designated areas with approved RWSPs should by January 1, 2005 submit to DCA a letter and supporting documentation from the water supplier confirming that the water supplier has identified adequate sources, considering the RWSP, and has made necessary infrastructure plans to serve the agreed upon need projected for your community. Local governments having no responsibility for water supply facilities and located outside designated areas with approved RWSPs should incorporate the above requirements into the amendment that updates their comprehensive plan following adoption of their Evaluation and Appraisal Report. 6. Review of Your Current Comprehensive Plan: Review your current comprehensive plan to identify the text, goals, objectives and policies that integrate this Work Plan into the comprehensive plan. This could be done by listing each comprehensive plan element that either contains, or should contain, text, goals, objectives or policies implementing the Work Plan. Typically, the elements would be Conservation, Potable Water, Capital Improvements and Intergovernmental Coordination, but could include more elements. Identify revisions necessary to integrate the Work Plan in the comprehensive plan. For Page 8 of 21 • example, in the Potable Water Sub-element the text should be updated to include the Work Plan, and the goals, objectives and policies should be made consistent with strategies in the Work Plan that address the selection of water sources, improvements of facilities, conservation and reuse. The Conservation Element should be updated to be consistent with the assessment of the current and projected water needs and sources, considering the appropriate RWSP, or, in the absence of a RWSP, the district water management plan. The Intergovernmental Coordination Element should be updated to show relationships, and state principles and guidelines to be used to achieve coordination of the comprehensive plan (including the Work Plan) with the applicable regional water supply plan. It is likely that the degree to which the current comprehensive plan will need to be updated will depend on the extent to which your community is involved in water supply facilities. 7. Evaluation and Appraisal Report: During the regularly scheduled EAR update, local governments must also comply with corollary requirements for the Conservation Element and Intergovernmental Coordination Element. For the Conservation Element, they must "assess their current, as well as projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan ...or, in the absence of a regional water supply plan, the district water management plan...." For the Intergovernmental Coordination Element, they must show "relationships" and state "principles" and "guidelines" to be used in the accomplishment of coordination of the adopted comprehensive plan with the applicable regional water supply plan or the water management district plan. While the corollary requirements are not explicitly required for the completion of the Work Plans due by January 1, 2005, it is recommended they be completed concurrently to provide assurance that the Work Plan adequately addresses the water supply facilities needed for the projected ten-year period. D. INFORMATION TO INCLUDE IN THE WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN AMENDMENT Like all plan amendments, the Work Plan amendment should be based upon information relevant to your community's unique circumstances. As outlined in Section C, paragraph 5, above, the content of your Work Plan will vary depending on the degree of your community's involvement in water supply facilities planning. In addition to the information outlined in Section C, above, the Work Plan amendment must include the following: Page 9 of 21 • 1. Supporting Data and Analysis: a. Existing Facilities: Identify the existing potable water facilities for which your local government is responsible, including the location of wells (or intake point from a surface water source), treatment and storage facilities, and the major distribution mains. Compile information regarding the design capacity of the production and treatment facilities, the current demand on these facilities, the geographic area served and relevant consumptive use permit conditions and duration. If your local government is not responsible for all of the existing water supply facilities, identify the responsible entities by service area. Identify conservation and reuse practices. b. Water supply facilities include all of the infrastructure necessary to withdraw water from its source, and to transmit, treat and distribute the water and any associated storage facilities. The location of water sources (wells, surface water), storage facilities (in-ground, above ground) and utility lines should be depicted on maps of a scale and level of detail appropriate to your community's situation. For example, for a major county it would be impracticable to depict the smallest lines serving individual customers. However, for a small city this information may be readily available and easily displayed. In general, maps depicting the location of the largest utility lines (say, 24"), the intermediate sized lines (say, 20", 16", 12" and 10") and the smaller lines (say, 8" and 6") should be included in the Work Plan. ArcView shape files could be created for each of these seven different line sizes. When combined together these seven files provide a good indication of the community's current service area (that portion of the community that is currently served by water facilities). Proposed facilities can be added to the appropriate coverage and the results combined to depict the location of proposed facilities for various future time periods. The following tables illustrate a convenient format for comparing projected demand, facility capacity and permit conditions. The first table reveals the need to increase permitted withdrawals to accommodate anticipated growth and system expansion. The second table shows one way to pornay a situation where the permitted CUP allocation is unlikely to be expanded due to source limitations and a deficit is avoided by planning to purchase raw water from an adjacent supplier.

Service Areas: For each geographic service area (the area within your jurisdiction provided with service by a water facility), prepare a map showing its spatial extent, prepare a facility capacity analysis and note capacity surpluses and deficiencies for: Page 11 of 21 LJ • a. Existing conditions, including geographic area served, population served and level of service. b. Conditions five years in the future based on projected demand, noting capacity surpluses and deficiencies. c.

Identify water supply facilities needed to serve projected growth and development for each geographic service area for at least the next 10-year period, including relevant information for each facility, such as capacity in average daily flow and maximum daily flow. d. Water Sources: The Work Plan should demonstrate that a sufficient supply of water will be available to meet projected needs. Needed water might be supplied from more than one source. Conservation and reuse should be examined as critical techniques to reduce the demand for potable water. The water management district is an excellent source of information about water sources and you should coordinate closely with them. If your community is located within a RWSP area, you should review the Regional Water Supply Plan with the district staff. You will want to make sure that you have used compatible projections of water demands and that your conclusions regarding water source availability are compatible. You should consider the use of water sources, or some combination of sources, identified in the RWSP. 2. Adopted Portion of the Work Plan Amendment: Based on the supporting data and analysis, the adopted Work Plan amendment should include: a. A Long-Range Water Supply Facilities Work Plan listing the potable water facilities that will be needed during at least the next 10-year period, including relevant information for each facility, such as capacity in average daily flow and maximum daily flow. Place those listed facilities in priority order. For each listed facility, identify: a. The anticipated year of construction, considering the need for permitting and construction b. The water source to be utilized c. The estimated cost of construction d. The source of funds b. Any facilities identified in the Work Plan as being needed during the first five years should be adopted as a revision to the financially feasible Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. c. Any needed revisions to the goals, objectives and policies of the Potable Water Sub-element. Page 12 of 21 • • d. Any needed revisions to the goals, objectives and policies of the Conservation Element. e. Any needed revisions to the goals, objectives and policies of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element. £ Any needed revisions to the goals, objectives and policies of any other element that addresses water supply facilities, including needs and water sources. g. During the regularly scheduled EAR update, the local government must also comply with corollary requirements for the conservation element and intergovernmental coordination element (see paragraphs 4 and 5 on page three of these guidelines). While these corollary requirements are not explicitly required for the completion of the Work Plan amendment due January 1, 2005, it is recommended they be completed concurrently to provide assurance that the Work Plan adequately addresses needed the water supply facilities.

The attached map depicts the areas of the state for which RWSPs have been prepared. A RWSP includes a projection of water demands and an identification of potential sources of water to meet these demands. The RWSP looks forward in time for 20 years and is intended to provide the framework for future water supply decisions in the areas where it has been determined that traditional sources of water are not adequate to provide for future needs while sustaining the water resources and related natural systems. Within these area existing and reasonably anticipated sources of water and conservation efforts may not be adequate to (1) supply water for all existing legal users and reasonably anticipated future needs and (2) to sustain the water resources and related natural systems. The RWSP identifies potential water supply source options for water supply development, including traditional and alternative sources that will exceed the needs projected by the district. The RWSP also estimates the associated costs for developing these sources. The water source options identified in the RWSP represent a "menu" of possible options for water supply development from which local governments, government-owned and privately owned utilities, self-suppliers and others may choose. The options are provided as reasonable concepts that water users in the region can pursue in their water supply planning. Water users may want to select a water supply option as presented in the plan or combine elements of different options that better suit their water supply needs. Additionally, the plan provides information to assist water users in developing funding strategies to construct water supply development projects. For planning purposes, water use is separated into six basic categories: agriculture; public supply; domestic supply (including small public supply systems); commercial/industrial and mining/dewatering; thermoelectric power production; and recreation/aesthetic. The RWSP identifies potential sources of water capable of meeting projected demand, and options for developing those sources. Sources include (1) new well fields, (2) increased use of reclaimed water, (3) storage reservoirs, (4) surface water withdrawals, (5) aquifer storage and recovery, (6) reverse osmosis/desalination (7) conservation. The RWSP includes planning level analyses for each of these sources of water to quantify available water supplies, identify development options, and estimate costs associated with water supply development. Page 16 of 21 • • The RWSP projects future water supply needs for 20 years and identifies the methods and assumptions used in projecting future demand. Sources of water anticipated to be available to meet current and future demands are identified, including a description of existing sources and the ability of each to assist in meeting current demands. The amount of water potentially available from each source to meet demands for 20 years is estimated. In addition, the projected demands are compared to available water sources in order to identify deficits that would need to be met by alternative sources. The RWSP describes water supply projects currently under development for which districts are providing assistance. Finally, the RWSP contains a list of water supply options that could potentially be developed by regional water supply authorities, public utilities, local governments, public/private water users, etc. The goal of the RWSP is to identify sufficient sources of water within the planning region to meet projected water demands. Water supply options and cost estimates are provided to assist users in determining how best to meet their particular demands. It is anticipated that users may want to choose an option or combine elements of different options that best fit their needs for water supply development. Prior to future development of any water supply option, it will be necessary to meet the conditions for issuance of and obtain all applicable permits. Following a decision to pursue any option identified in the RWSP, it will be necessary for the interested party (ies) to conduct more detailed engineering, hydrologic, economic and biological assessments to provide the necessary technical support for developing the option. Preliminary technical and financial feasibility analyses are conducted on selected options for each water source. These are considered to be planning level analyses and are prepared to more fully develop concepts for water supply and resource development options. The analyses provide reasonable estimates of the quantity of water that could be developed and the associated costs for development. Each RWSP is updated every five years. All the districts are developing updated information that will be available in the 2005 RWSP updates. Local governments should consult with their respective districts to obtain the latest and most detailed information available.

However, I'd like to take advantage of the time since we had planned to meet and it's on people's schedules to review the projects/options. This meeting would just include Parsons and JEA. We'd like to get a better understanding of the water projects being considered and the East Plant potential closure--including O&M impacts and costs. Further, we could also discuss the comp plan issues with Parsons at this same time since we had planned to set up a separate meeting with Planning (Rob--can you coordinate?). The action items conveyed last Monday still apply and will be reviewed at this meeting prior to sending to Burton. So that we don't waste peop~ time, I thought we could meet with Parso~t 09:30-10:30, then JEA from 10:30- 11:30 on March 31st. Thought we'd meet here at PU if possible (Laura, can you set this up?). The April 16th meeting is mandatory! Any thoughts, please share them.

APPENDIX A: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS ................................. 39 4. Potable Water Element 3 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan I. INTRODUCTION According to Florida Administrative Code section 9J-5.01 1, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to assure that necessary public facilities and services correlate to future land use projections. Furthermore, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to identify capital improvements and establish goals, objectives and policies that will ensure the City of Clearwater is able to supply quality drinking water of a sufficient quantity for current and future needs. The Potable Water Element focuses on the existing systems and facilities and projected system needs based on projected population growth and future land use ' in the City of Clearwater. This is accomplished through an inventory and analysis of existing data, identification of present and potential problems and their solutions, and projection of future potable water needs for specific planning periods. The City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment, prepared in June of 2004, and the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan, prepared in October 2004, serve as the primary data sources for the existing conditions inventory and analysis. Both reports were prepared by Parsons Corporation. The composition of the Potable Water Element follows the minimum data requirements outlined in Section 9J-5.01 1, FAC. For ease of reference, the Potable Water Element is organized into two major sections; the first outlines the Goals, Objectives and Policies relating to potable water and the second includes an Inventory and Analysis of the water system. Potable Water Element 4 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan II. GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 21.

Potable Water Element to City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan III. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Section 9J-5.003, FAC, defines a potable water facility as a system of structures designed to collect, treat, or distribute potable water, and includes water wells, treatment plants, reservoirs, and distribution mains. The following section details the existing conditions of the City of Cfearwater's water system, with the purpose of identifying future water system needs. 3.1 Operational Responsibility The City of Clearwater Water Division is a municipally operated water supplier, charged with the responsibility of administering the City's water utility. In 2006, the City of Clearwater Water Division supplied more than 5.15 billion gallons of water to more than 140,000 customers, amounting to approximately 100 gallons of water per person per day. The division maintains 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 588 miles of water mains.' Users of the City of Clearwater water system consume approximately 13 million gallons of potable water every day. Approximately 37 percent is pumped from City owned and operated groundwater wells; the remaining 63 percent of the daily demand is supplied by water purchased from Pinellas County. Pinellas County also receives water supplied by the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water, which in turn becomes part of the 63 percent supplied to the customers of Clearwater.z 3.2 Geographic Service Area and Predominant Land Uses The geographic service area for the City's water system extends beyond the City limits and represents an area of approximatley 54 square miles in size. The majority of the customers beyond the City limits are located within unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves within the City of Clearwater. The boundaries of the water service area generally extend from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the City of Dunedin to the north, the City of Safety Harbor and Tampa Bay to the east, and the cities of Largo, Bellair, and Bellair Beach to the south.

Prepared by Wade 7rlm, Inc., August 2007 for-City of Clearwater Water Supply Element. WADETRIM Potable Water Element 12 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the City of Clearwater is estimated to have a total population of 107,742 as of july 1 , 2006.3 However, the City's water service area extends beyond the City limits to include numerous unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves. Thus, to determine the population of the City's water service area, a broader figure that includes both the City population and enclave population must be utilized. Because it includes the City of Clearwater in addition to all interior county enclaves, the Pinellas County Planning Sector 6 closely matches the City of Clearwater's water service area. Therefore, population projections for Planning Sector 6, which have been calculated by the Pinellas County Planning Department, will be utilized for this Potable Water Element. Using the projections from Pinellas County for permanent, seasonal, and tourist populations, the functional population of the water service area can be determined based on the following formula: Functional Population = ((permanent + seasonal) x 41 + (permanent x 81 + tourist 12 2 This formula is based on Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) rules with the purpose of making adjustments for seasonal residents and tourists.4 Once calculated, the functional population figure represents the value utilized to calculate the gross per capita water consumption for the City.

P~~ Potable Water Element 14 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan The City of Clearwater is an urban and predominantly built-out city and features a diverse mix of land uses. Within downtown Clearwater, a dense mix of institutional, commercial, office, recreational and high density residential land uses are found. In addition to downtown, the Clearwater Beach area features a dense mix of land uses that include major commercial/resort destinations, high density residential developments, and recreational uses. Intensive commercial land uses, including regional commercial shopping centers are scattered along the City's major transportation arteries, particularly Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and U.S. Highway 19. The majority of the rest of the City is dominated by well established single- family neighborhoods, intermixed with supportive institutional and recreational uses. Map 2 shows the existing land uses found within the City of Clearwater water service area. 3.3 Design Capacity and Current Demand of Existing Facilities. Water Wells and Treatment Facilities ~~ Potable water within the City of .Clearwater is provided by 22 City-operated fresh ~~,~ ~ water wells (1 7 active and 5 inactive) and six interconnects with the Pinellas County ~J~'' ~ water system. Although it is currently not used, the City has access to the water f~os-fi system of the City of St. Petersburg though an emergency interconnect. The City's p ,~,,~'~ water wells are located in close proximity to three treatment and storage facilities: ~/" U _,r-~ Reservoirs Nos. 1 , 2, and 3. The interconnects to the Pinellas County system are ~ ~''.~'"' found at various locations in the City: Reservoir No. 2; Reservoir No. 3; along Belcher Road near the intersections with Drew Street, Gulf-to-Bay (SR 60), and °S Belleair Road; and at South Sand Keys The locations of the various water supply ~C~l~ facilities within Clearwater are illustrated on Map 3. ~ \, t~ ~ `F~~j\MG~ Pinellas County water is purchased by the City of Clearwater through an Y ,t p, ~ intergovernmental agreement as a means to augment the City's groundwater ~`' . ~ sources and to meet the City's water demands.

Ea WAnETx~ Potable Water Element 17 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan In general, the groundwater source for both Clearwater and Pinellas County comes from a groundwater supply called the Floridan Aquifer. More specifically, the City water sources are 22 groundwater wells, while Pinellas County potable water is obtained from two different sources: Tampa Bay Water's regional water system; and fresh water from Eldridge Wilde wellfields. Tampa Bay Water is a local wholesaler providing water to six local governments in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Multiple sources contribute to Tampa Bay Water's regional water supply; these include groundwater and surface water from around the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and saline water from Tampa Bay. A summary of the daily production rates for the three reservoirs is provided in Table 2. The table also details the relative production provided by the City and the production provided by Pinellas County. Table 2 Summary of Daily Productions by Source The values reflect the addition of a reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 1, which, at the time of the preparation of the Water System Assessment (Clearwater Water Master Plan), was expected to reduce the amount of water purchased from Pinellas County by a net of 2-million gallons per day (mgd) on a long term basis. The average daily demand for potable water within the City of Clearwater water service area totals 13-mgd, of which 63 percent is provided by Pinellas County and 37 percent is provided by the City's wells. According to the City's water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the City is allowed to pump a maximum of 6.25-mgd from its wells. "Value listed represents finished blended water capacity. In order to produce the 3-mgd blended finished water capacity requires 3.6-mgd of well water, 0.6-mgd of which is concentrate that is discharged to the sanitary sewer.

Parsons Corporation. June 2004. Potable Water Element 18 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Reservoir No. 1 is located on Palmetto Street near Saturn Avenue and consists of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, a single 5 million gallon (mg) storage tank, chloramination facilities for disinfection, and a high service pumping station. Reservoir 1 utilizes 3.6-mgd of raw groundwater to produce 3-mgd of treated potable water. The Reverse osmosis plant uses 2.6-mgd of water to produce 2.0- mgd of permeate which is blended with 1.0-mgd of pre-treated by-passed water, attaining a total of 3-mgd of potable drinking water. Feed water to the plant comes from 10 active wells (Well Nos. 23, 31 , 48, 65, 66, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 81). Production from Well 81 is limited due to the need for a sand pack to prevent sand from entering the well. Reservoir No. 2 is located near the intersection of US 19 and Drew Street and consists of a single 5-mg storage tank, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 3 active wells (Well Nos. 45, 46 and 53). Two additional inactive wells are also connected (Well Nos. 51 and 52). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 0.6 mgd. Also on- site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 1.5-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine concentration of the incoming water. The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.$ Reservoir No. 3, located near the intersection of Countryside Blvd. and State Road 580, consists of two 5-mg storage tanks, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station.

Potable Water Element 19 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Elevated Storac-e Tanks The City of Clearwater operates three 1 million gallon (mg) elevated storage tanks to provide additional storage capacity, consistent distribution system pressure, and to respond to emergency demands such as fire. The three elevated storage tanks are identified and located as follows: Del Oro, located near the intersection of McMullen-Booth Road and Drew; Martin Luther King, located near the intersection of Bellevue Blvd. and Martin Luther King; and Otten Street, located near the intersection of Otten Street and Highland Ave. At the time of the preparation of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment Qune 2004), the three elevated storage tanks were valved-off due to water stagnation issues and degradation of water quality. However, the City has since placed the Martin Luther King and Otten Street tanks back into service in order to maintain an adequate level of service and for additional emergency storage capabilities.~o With regard to the total capacity of drinking water sources and treatment facilities, Chapter 62-555(6) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: The total capacity of a// water sources and treatment faci/ities connected to a water system sha// at /east equal the water system's design maximum-day water demand (including design fire-f/ow demand if ire protection is being provided). In total, the City has a storage capacity of 23-mgd provided by the four 5-mgd storage tanks at Reservoirs 1, 2 and 3 and the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks. However, at the time of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment the City's total storage capacity was estimated at 20-mgd, not calculating the capacity of the elevated storage tanks because of their stagnation and water quality issues. In addition to the City's own storage capacity, Pinellas County provides the City with some storage capacity through the interconnections. However, the exact amount of storage capacity available to the City through Pinellas County is unknown.>> Based on the Water System Assessment report, the City's design maximum-day potable water demand is estimated at 19-mgd. At 20-mgd, the City's current storage tank capacity is sufficient to achieve potable water design maximum-day ~~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation.

Potable Water Element 20 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan demand according to Chapter 62-555 F.A.C. However, the Water System Assessment noted that this total capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. For this reason, and as noted above, two of the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks were put back into service, but several modifications to the distribution system were recommended in the assessment to increase overall capacity, including distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.12 Pumping Facilities High-service pumps are found at each of the City's three reservoirs to ensure distribution system capacity and pressure. These pumps ensure that water under sufficient pressure is delivered from the wellheads to the various storage and treatment facilities and then into the distribution system. Additionally, system capacity and pressure is supplemented through the six direct interconnections with the Pinellas County water system. With regard to required pumping capacity, Chapter 62-555.320(1 5) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: (a) Unless e/evated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity of a booster pumping station, sha// be sufficient to: 1. Meet at /east the water system's, or the booster station service area's, peak- hour water demand (and if fire protection is being provided, meet at /east the water system's, or the booster station service area's, design fire-f/ow rate p/us a background water demand equivalent to the maximum-day demand other than fire-f/ow demand); and 2. Maintain a minimum gauge pressure of ZO pounds per square inch throughout the water system's, or the booster station service area's, distribution system up to each customer's point of connection to the distribution system. (b) Where elevated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity 12 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment.

As noted above, the City's' total water storage capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Because pumping capacity is related to achieving sufficient storage capacity, improvements to the City's pumping capacity is warranted. The Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment notes that possible solutions include distribution system pipe modifications, addition off booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.13 Distribution System The City of Clearwater's water distribution system includes more than 776 miles of water main, 40,000 water meters, 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 5,445 backflow devices. As shown in Map 4, the water distribution system effectively covers all lands within the City of Clearwater, including the unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves.

WADETRIM Potable Water Element 23 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Reclaimed Water System The City of Clearwater currently operates a reclaimed water system to ensure that adequate water is available today and in the future and that the City's residents have high quality water at an affordable price. The use of reclaimed water helps the City to preserve high quality potable water sources by providing a reliable and economical alternative source for irrigation water. Use of reclaimed water for irrigation can benefit the City because every gallon of potable water not used for irrigation is one less gallon of water purchased from Pinellas County. This has the potential of significant potable water savings given the escalating costs of purchasing water from Pinellas County.14 The City's reclaimed water system is the result of cooperative funding by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the City of Clearwater. ~ 5 The City's reclaimed water system is shown on Map 5 and includes 51 miles of reclaimed water main. At present, reclaimed water service extends to the Countryside Country Club Golf Course and driving range, Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Course and the soccer fields on McMullen Booth Road in the Countryside area, which are fed from the Northeast Treatment Plant. The Northeast Treatment Plant will also serve the reclaimed projects on the east side of Clearwater: Drew Union, Del Oro, Morningside, and Skycrest. The Marshall Street Plant feeds .Jack Russell Stadium, Pier 60 Park, Coachman Park as well as 1 ,400 customers on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. In 2004, reclaimed water became available to the Harbor Oaks Area of Clearwater. This area also receives it supply from the Marshall Street Plant. Approximately 2,000 customers are now provided reclaimed water, with a current consumption in the range of 2 to 2.5-mgd. The City of Clearwater is currently designing the Skycrest Reclaimed Water Project which will include an east/west interconnection, pumping and storage facility. This interconnection will complete the loop within the City, resulting in both sides of the City being connected for future expansion of our reclaimed program.16 14 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

October 21, 2001 Potable Water Element 26 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.4 Level of Service The existing Clearwater Comprehensive Plan has established the following Level of Service standards to be used in determining the availability of facility capacity and demand created by new development: 120 gallons per capita per day at a pressure of 40-45 psi. Potable water level of service is measured based on the rate of potable water consumption on a per person basis. This method of measurement provides an indicator of the demand placed on the potable water system and allows for tracking improvements in potable water conservation measures. As the rate of consumption decreases, the rate of success of potable water conservation measures increases. Based on the current potable water supply of 13-mgd allocated across the water service area's 2005 functional population of 146,832, the demand for potable water per capita per day is 88.5 gallons. This rate of demand is well within the adopted level of service. 3.5 Facility Capacity Analysis As highlighted in Table 2, the City of Clearwater's water system has an average potable water production capacity of 13 million gallons per day (mgd). What is the total potable water treatment capacity? As of 2005, the City of Clearwater's water system is estimated to have an average daily demand of 13.90-mgd. This is based on a functional population estimate of 146,832 for the water service area, and assumes a demand of 90.5 gallons per capita in addition to 610,000 gallons per day for significant water users.» The estimated average daily demand of 13.90-mgd also takes into account the planned future land uses of the City of Clearwater. Given that the City is almost completely built-out, significant population growth and the conversion of large undeveloped lands to urban use is not expected. The City's population is expected to increase only slightly, while the City's current ~~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan. Parsons Corporation.

Well Pump Corrosion Currently, corrosion in the vertical turbine pumps used at each raw water production well requires the periodic replacement and maintenance of the pump shaft and pump bowl assembly. Because this maintenance process is difficult and labor intensive, it is recommended that stainless. steel submersible pumps be utilized instead. The stainless steel construction of the submersible pumps helps to minimize corrosion, extending the useful life of the pumps.20 20 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. Potable Water Element 31 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Standby Power Requirements Chapter No. 62-555 F.A.C. states that each community water system shall provide standby power for operation of the water source, treatment, and pumping facilities necessary to deliver drinking water meeting all primary and secondary standards to meet the average daily demand for the system. The raw water production wells feeding Reservoir 1 are not currently provided with an auxiliary power source as needed to achieve compliance with Chapter 62-555, F.A.C. Two alternative corrective measures were evaluated: installation of a permanent generator or the purchase of portable generators. In the end, portable generators to serve the production wells were chosen as the preferred alternative given the cost savings. According to the Water System Assessment, backup generators with sufficient capacity are available to serve the treatment and storage facilities at Reservoirs 1 and 2, but not Reservoir 3. Therefore, the study recommended that the existing generator be replaced with a larger generator to handle the current load. Potable Water Element 32 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Control and Monitoring Improvements In order to make control and monitoring of the City's water system centralized, it is recommended the City install the necessary Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment at existing facilities to allow communications with the new network installed at Reservoir No. 1. This includes control and monitoring of Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3, raw water wells and Pinellas County interconnections. For Reservoir Nos. 2 and 3, the raw water wells, and county interconnects, the Water System Assessment recommended that a radio telemetry system be established to enable effective communications between system facilities. At the county interconnects, it was recommended to add a remotely operated valve to open or close the interconnects. Storage Improvements As stated previously, the City's three elevated storage tanks face water stagnation ~~ issues with the potential result of degradation to water quality. At the time of the `1 Water System Assessment, the storage tanks were valved-off. Additionally, the ~~ 5 Water System Assessment noted that the City's storage tank capacity may be 2 inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Therefore, the study recommended the I^~~' elevated storage tanks to be placed back into service, restoring sufficient fire- 1~/ l'J~'`'~ flows to certain areas of the City. To alleviate the water stagnation issues at the ~~.-t' storage tanks, recommendations were outlined that included the installation of a mixing system, an altitude valve, isolation valve and small booster pump station to l~ ~ force water out of the storage tanks. To increase fire-flow capacity, the Water e ~i ~r~yw~~ System Assessment recommended the addition of inter-distribution system ~~ ~,~ ~Q storage tanks in combination with distribution system pipe modifications. ~'`s~ J` Pumping Improvements ~' Improvements to the City's pumping facilities are also necessary to improve fire- ~~ ~ flows. The Water System Assessment indicates that the current high service pumps are deficient in meeting fire-flow levels in some areas of the City. Therefore, ~,~" additional booster pump stations are recommended in conjunction with ~~" distribution system pipe modifications. Ju `~ v ~~ ~5 ~ k~ ~ ~~~ Potable Water Element 33 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.7 Issues and Opportunities for Expansion and New Facilities One of the major goals for the City is to increase self sufficiency in water supply to control future costs. Presently, the City purchases approximately 8 million gallons of water from Pinellas County at a cost of approximately 7 million dollars per year. Over the years, wholesale water rates have increased and are projected to continually rise. To accomplish increased self sufficiency, the Capital Improvement Plan portion of the Water Master Plan outlines numerous projects involving the expansion of existing water production facilities or the construction of new water production facilities. Limited Source Water Opportunities The City of Clearwater is uniquely located between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay in an area that has relatively low rates of aquifer recharge. This results in limited quantities of fresh groundwater, and subsequently, limited opportunities to expand source water production. Source water quality continues to degrade due to increased chloride levels caused by pumping of wells in excess of long term safe yield capacities, but within existing water use permitted quantities.21 Chloride Cap Restriction C~" k~~ ~.,~ ~"n'' ~~,S t''>i' ~'`~ lv One of the greatest challenges in increasing capacity for existing production wells and the construction of new production wells is the Southwest Florida Water Management District's chloride cap of 250 mg/L. This chloride cap level is intended to serve as a guideline in evaluating trends and controlling the effects of wellfield withdraws on groundwater quality. ~~f~-DY7 ~ l ~ (,._ r'" -. ~,,5 LS5 fug ~ h~~~v~ ~~ G~ ~V ~s ~, ~J~ 21 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan. Parsons Corporation. October 2004. W\ ~"~ ~ ~~~ ~~~ In order for the City to proceed with new and sustainable water resources as outlined in their Capital Improvement Plan, the chloride cap must be increased. To provide the necessary evidence to support an increase in the chloride cap, the City is planning to undertake a Chloride Monitoring Well Study. The first phase of this study will examine the effects in the vicinity of Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3, as the impact of this cap will limit the water production from these facilities first. In a later phase, a similar study will be initiated in the vicinity of Reservoir 2 and south Potable Water Element 34 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan of Gulf-to-Bay to support the development of a new reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 2.zz Feasible New Groundwater Sources As part of the Capital Improvements Plan, the Water Master Plan identifies three improvement projects aimed at increasing water supply that are economically viable as well as technically feasible during the planning period. These three projects include: • Development of an additional 1-mgd of fresh groundwater supply and associated wells and transmission mains to connect to Reservoir No. 3; • Development of an additional 1-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 1 by means of adding an additional 1.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply and expansion of the reverse osmosis facility; and, • Development of an additional 3.5-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 2 by adding an additional 4.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply, transmission mains and a new, low-pressure reverse osmosis facility. As stated previously, these projects are partially dependent upon an increase to the SWFWMD's imposed chloride cap. However, even if the effort to raise the cap is unsuccessful, the proposed new production wells for Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3 are still recommended to be developed and permitted. The development of these welts would increase the rotational capacity, maximize production, rest existing wells, and allow for chloride levels to subside. 3.8 Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge The natural drainage features within the City of Clearwater water system are displayed on Map 6. As can be seen, the City is located between the seawater bodies of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. Freshwater water bodies within the City include Lake Bellevue, Crest Lake, Alligator Lake, Beckett Lake, Lake zz City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

To the north of the City, Lake Tarpon is a large freshwater resource. According to the Southwest Florida Water Management District over 84 percent of all water used within the District's boundaries emanates from groundwater resources. The deepest and most productive aquifer within the District is the Upper Floridan, which also is found underneath the City of Clearwater.23 In the Clearwater area, the Upper Floridan aquifer contains a relatively thin layer of fresh groundwater underlain by a transition zone of brackish water, which increases in chloride and dissolved solids concentrations with depth until seawater concentrations are reached.24 The Upper Floridan is a productive aquifer, supplying more than ten times the amount of water pumped from the two other aquifer systems found in the Water Management District. In the northern portion of the District, the Floridan aquifer is readily recharged by rainfall (greater than 10 inches per year), and is most highly productive. In central Pinellas County, the Floridan aquifer features a recharge rate of 1 to 10 inches per year.zs 3.9 Existing Regulations and Programs Relating to Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge Future protection and use of water resources is a public service for which long- range comprehensive planning is mandatory. The primary threats to groundwater in the Clearwater area are saltwater intrusion via overdraft and contamination. When groundwater recharge exceeds withdrawal, there is a potential for saltwater to move inward from coastal areas, ultimately affecting the quality of the available groundwater. Additionally, contamination from injection and drainage wells, fertilizers, storage tanks, and other sources affect the quality of groundwater. Both overdraft and contamination are risks that can be reduced via careful regulation. The Southwest Florida Water Management- District is .the primary regulator and program administrator relating to natural drainage and groundwater recharge. z3 Southwest Florida Water Management District.

Potable Water Element 37 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan The City of Clearwater is contained within the boundaries of several SWFWMD water supply programs, including:~>> Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) was initiated by the district to assess water availability, including minimum flows and levels, in order to support water resource recover, water use permitting, and environmental resource permitting. Both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County provide input to the technical projects performed by the District. Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area sets water use permit (1NUP) for the area, including additional conservation requirements such as reuse. Public supply permits within the WUCA limit per capita water use demands to 1 50 gallons per person per day. Any utility not meeting these numbers has strict timeframes and guidelines to implement this limit. The City of Clearwater is not using its entire permitted allocation of groundwater from the Upper Floridan aquifer although it is anticipated that its utility will eventually grow into its unused quantity to meet future demand. For example, the City of Clearwater's brackish R.O. facility is permitted to withdraw 6.3 mgd of brackish groundwater, although the City has been withdrawing an average of 3 mgd.~z~ The City of Clearwater has been and is actively participating in SWFWMD's efforts to prioritize recharge areas within the Upper Floridan aquifer recharge area. Tampa Bay/Anc%te River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Project As part of SWFWMD's continuing efforts to ensure the coordination of local governments' planning practices regarding water supply management, SWFWMD has developed the Comprehensive Watershed..Management (CWM) .Program in coordination with local governments to conduct water resource assessments and planning on a watershed rather than district-wide basis. The City of Clearwater is in the Tampa Bay/Anclote River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Area.

INTRODUCTION According to Florida Administrative Code section 9J-5.01 1, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to assure that necessary public facilities and services correlate to future land use projections. Furthermore, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to identify capital improvements and establish goals, objectives and policies that will ensure the City of Clearwater is able to supply quality drinking water of a sufficient quantity for current and future needs. The Potable Water Element focuses on the existing systems and facilities and projected system needs based on projected population growth and future land use in the City of Clearwater. This is accomplished through an inventory and analysis of existing data, identification of present and potential problems and their solutions, and projection of future potable water needs for specific planning periods. The City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment, prepared in June of 2004, and the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan, prepared in October 2004, serve as the primary data sources for the existing conditions inventory and analysis. Both reports were prepared by Parsons Corporation. The composition of the Potable Water Element follows the minimum data requirements outlined in Section 9J-5.01 1 , FAC. For ease of reference, the Potable Water Element is organized into two major sections; the first outlines the Goals, Objectives and Policies relating to potable water and the second includes an Inventory and Analysis of the water system. 7 t Potable Water Element 4 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan II.

INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Section 9j-5.003, FAC, defines a potable water facility as a system of structures designed to collect, treat, or distribute potable water, and includes water wells, treatment plants, reservoirs, and distribution mains. The following section details the existing conditions of the City of Clearwater's water system, with the purpose of identifying future water system needs. 3.1 O erational Res onsibili P p tY The City of Clearwater Water Division is a municipally operated water supplier, charged with the responsibility of administering the City's water utility. In 2006, the City of Clearwater Water Division supplied more than 5.15 billion gallons of water to more than 140,000 customers, amounting to approximately 100 gallons of water per person per day. The division maintains 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 588 miles of water mains.' Users of the City of Clearwater water system consume approximately 13 million gallons of potable water every day. Approximately 37 percent is pumped from City owned and operated groundwater wells; the remaining 63 percent of the daily demand is supplied by water purchased from Pinellas County. Pinellas County also receives water supplied by the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water, which in turn becomes part of the 63 percent supplied to the customers of Clearwater.z 3.2 Geographic Service Area and Predominant Land Uses The geographic service area for the City's water system extends beyond the City limits and represents an area of approximatley 54 square miles in size. The majority of the customers beyond the City limits are located within unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves within the City of Clearwater. The boundaries of the water service area generally extend from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the City of Dunedin to the north, the City of Safety Harbor and Tampa Bay to the east, and the cities of Largo, Bellair, and Bellair Beach to the south.

Thus, to determine the population of the City's water service area, a broader figure that includes both the City population and enclave population must be utilized. Because it includes the City of Clearwater in addition to all interior county enclaves, the Pinellas County Planning Sector 6 closely matches the City of Clearwater's water service area. Therefore, population projections for Planning Sector 6, which have been calculated by the Pinellas County Planning Department, will be utilized for this Potable Water Element. Using the projections from Pinellas County for permanent, seasonal, and tourist populations, the functional population of the water service area can be determined based on the following formula: Functional Population = [(permanent + seasonal) x 41 + (permanent x 81 + tourist 12 2 ^ This formula is based on Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) rules with the purpose of making adjustments for seasonal residents and tourists.4 Once calculated, the functional population figure represents the value utilized to calculate the gross per capita water consumption for the City. Table 1 details the projected service area population served by the City of Clearwater's water system through the year 2025. s Annual Estimates of the Po ulation for Incor orated Places in Florida, A ril 1, 2000 to Jul 1, 2006.

Potable Water Element 14 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 1 The City of Clearwater is an urban and predominantly built-out city and features a diverse mix of land uses. Within downtown Clearwater, a dense mix of institutional, commercial, office, recreational and high density residential land uses are found. In addition to downtown, the Clearwater Beach area features a dense mix of land uses that include major commercial/resort destinations, high density residential developments, and recreational uses. Intensive commercial land uses, including regional commercial shopping centers are scattered along the City's 1 major transportation arteries, particularly Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and U.S. Highway 19. The majority of the rest of the City is dominated by well established single- family neighborhoods, intermixed with supportive institutional and recreational ' uses. Map 2 shows the existing land uses found within the City of Clearwater water service area. 3.3 Design Capacity and Current Demand of Existing Facilities. Water Wells and Treatment Facilities Potable water within the City of Clearwater is provided by 22 City-operated fresh water wells (1 7 active and 5 inactive) and six interconnects with the Pinellas County water system. Although it is currently not used, the City has access to the water system of the City of St. Petersburg though an emergency interconnect. The City's water wells are located in close proximity to three treatment and storage facilities: Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3. The interconnects to the Pinellas County system are found at various locations in the City: Reservoir No. 2; Reservoir No. 3; along Belcher Road near the intersections with Drew Street, Gulf-to-Bay (SR 60), and Belleair Road; and at South Sand Keys The locations of the various water supply facilities within Clearwater are illustrated on Map 3. Pinellas County water is purchased by the City of Clearwater through an intergovernmental agreement as a means to augment the City's groundwater sources and to meet the City's water demands. In the 2002 water year, an average of 11.5-mgd of water was purchased by the City from Pinellas County. In the Fall of 2003, after a reverse osmosis treatment facility was implemented at Reservoir No. 1, the City was able to reduce the amount of water purchased from the County by a net of 2-mgd.6 s City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment.

More specifically, the City water sources are 22 groundwater wells, while Pinellas County potable water is obtained from two different sources: Tampa Bay Water's regional water system; i and fresh water from Eldridge Wilde wellfields. Tampa Bay Water is a local wholesaler providing water to six local governments in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Multiple sources contribute to Tampa Bay Water's regional water supply; these include groundwater and surface water from around the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and saline water from Tampa Bay. A summary of the daily production rates for the three reservoirs is provided in Table 2. The table also details the relative production provided by the City and the production provided by Pinellas County. Table 2 Summary of Daily Productions by Source r The values reflect the addition of a reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 1, which, at the time of the preparation of the Water System Assessment (Clearwater Water Master Plan), was expected to reduce the amount of water purchased from Pinellas County by a net of 2-million gallons per day (mgd) on a long term basis. The average daily demand for potable water within the City of Clearwater water service area totals 13-mgd, of which 63 percent is provided by Pinellas County and 37 percent is provided by the City's wells. According to the City's water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the City is allowed to pump a maximum of 6.25-mgd from its wells. `Value listed represents finished blended water capacity. In order to produce the 3-mgd blended finished water capacity requires 3.6-mgd of well water, 0.6-mgd of which is concenVate that is discharged to the sanitary sewer. "Water provided by Pinellas County interconnects located on-site with existing City of Clearwater facilities. Source: City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. 1 1 1 I1 1 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 18 Reservoir No. 1 is located on Palmetto Street near Saturn Avenue and consists of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, a single 5 million gallon (mg) storage tank, chloramination facilities for disinfection, and a high service pumping station. Reservoir 1 utilizes 3.6-mgd of raw groundwater to produce 3-mgd of treated potable water. The Reverse osmosis plant uses 2.6-mgd of water to produce 2.0- mgd of permeate which is blended with 1.0-mgd of pre-treated by-passed water, attaining a total of 3-mgd of potable drinking water. Feed water to the plant comes from 10 active wells (Well Nos. 23, 31, 48, 65, 66, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 81). Production from Well 81 is limited due to the need for a sand pack to prevent sand from entering the well. Reservoir No. 2 is located near the intersection of US 19 and Drew Street and consists of a single 5-mg storage tank, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 3 active wells (Well Nos. 45, 46 and 53). Two additional inactive wells are also connected (Well Nos. 51 and 52). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 0.6 mgd. Also on- site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 1.5-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine concentration of the incoming water. The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.8 Reservoir No. 3, located near the intersection of Countryside Blvd. and State Road 580, consists of two 5-mg storage tanks, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 5 active wells (Well Nos. 56, 58, 68, 69, and 77). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 1.2-mgd. Also on site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 7-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine concentration of the incoming water. The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.9 ~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation.

Potable Water Element 19 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' Elevated Storage Tanks The City of Clearwater operates three 1 million gallon (mg) elevated storage tanks to provide additional storage capacity, consistent distribution system pressure, and to respond to emergency demands such as fire. The three elevated storage tanks ' are identified and located as follows: Del Oro, located near the intersection of McMullen-Booth Road and Drew; Martin Luther King, located near the intersection ' of Bellevue Blvd. and Martin Luther King; and Otten Street, located near the intersection of Otten Street and Highland Ave. At the time of the preparation of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment (June 2004), the three ' elevated storage tanks were valved-off due to water stagnation issues and degradation of water quality. However, the City has since placed the Martin Luther ' King and Otten Street tanks back into service in order to maintain an adequate level of service and for additional emergency storage capabilities.~~ i With regard to the total capacity of drinking water sources and treatment facilities, Chapter 62-555(6) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: The total capacity of al/ water sources and treatment facilities connected to a water system sha/l at least equal the water system's design maximum-day water demand (including design fire-f/ow demand if fire protection is being provided). In total, the City has a storage capacity of 23-mgd provided by the four 5-mgd storage tanks at Reservoirs 1, 2 and 3 and the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks. However, at the time of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System ' Assessment ,the City's total storage capacity was estimated at 20-mgd, not calculating the capacity of the elevated storage tanks because of their stagnation and water quality issues. In addition to the City's own storage capacity, Pinellas County provides the City with some storage capacity through the interconnections. However, the exact amount of storage capacity available to the City through ' Pinellas County is unknown.>> ' Based on the Water System Assessment report, the City's design maximum-day potable water demand is estimated at 19-mgd. At 20-mgd, the City's current storage tank capacity is sufficient to achieve potable water design maximum-day ~o City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation.

For this reason, and as noted above, two of the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks were put back into service, but several modifications to the distribution system were recommended in the assessment to increase overall capacity, including distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.12 Pumping Facilities High-service pumps are found at each of the City's three reservoirs to ensure distribution system capacity and pressure. These pumps ensure that water under sufficient pressure is delivered from the wellheads to the various storage and treatment facilities and then into the distribution system. Additionally, system capacity and pressure is supplemented through the six direct interconnections with the Pinellas County water system. With regard to required pumping capacity, Chapter 62-555.320(1 5) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: (a) Unless elevated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity ofa booster pumping station, sha// be sufficient to: 1.

The use of reclaimed water helps the ' City to preserve high quality potable water sources by providing a reliable and economical alternative source for irrigation water. Use of reclaimed water for ' irrigation can benefit the City because every gallon of potable water not used for irrigation is one less gallon of water purchased from Pinellas County. This has the potential of significant potable water savings given the escalating costs of ' purchasing water from Pinellas County.14 The City's reclaimed water system is the result of cooperative funding by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the City of Clearwater. ~ 5 The City's reclaimed water system is shown on Map 5 and includes 51 miles of ~' reclaimed water main. At present, reclaimed water service extends to the Countryside Country Club Golf Course and driving range, Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf ' Course and the soccer fields on McMullen Booth Road in the Countryside area, which are fed from the Northeast Treatment Plant. The Northeast Treatment Plant will also serve the reclaimed projects on the east side of Clearwater: Drew Union, i Del Oro, Morningside, and Skycrest. The Marshall Street Plant feeds Jack Russell Stadium, Pier 60 Park, Coachman Park as well as 1,400 customers on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. In 2004, reclaimed water became available to the Harbor Oaks Area of Clearwater. This area also receives it supply from the Marshall Street Plant. Approximately 2,000 customers are now provided reclaimed water, with a current consumption in the range of 2 to 2.5-mgd. The City of Clearwater is currently designing the Skycrest Reclaimed Water Project which will include an east/west interconnection, pumping and storage facility. This interconnection will complete the loop within the City, resulting in both sides of ' the City being connected for future expansion of our reclaimed program.16 '"City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.4 Level of Service The existing Clearwater Comprehensive Plan has established the following Level of Service standards to be used in determining the availability of facility capacity and demand created by new development: 120 gallons per capita per day at a pressure of 40-45 psi. Potable water level of service is measured based on the rate of potable water consumption on a per person basis. This method of measurement provides an indicator of the demand placed on the potable water system and allows for tracking improvements in potable water conservation measures. As the rate of consumption decreases, the rate of success of potable water conservation measures increases. Based on the current potable water supply of 13-mgd allocated across the water service area's 2005 functional population of 146,832, the demand for potable water per capita per day is 88.5 gallons. This rate of demand is well within the adopted level of service. 3.5 Facility Capacity Analysis ' As highlighted in Table 2, the City of Clearwater's water system has an average potable water production capacity of 13 million gallons per day (mgd). What is the total potable water treatment capacity? As of 2005, the City of Clearwater's water system is estimated to have an average daily demand of 13.90-mgd. This is based on a functional population estimate of 146,832 for the water service area, and assumes a demand of 90.5 gallons per capita in addition to 610,000 gallons per day for significant water users.» The ' estimated average daily demand of 13.90-mgd also takes into account the planned future land uses of the City of Clearwater. Given that the City is almost completely built-out, significant population growth and the conversion of large undeveloped lands to urban use is not expected.

Based on the total water production capacity of ______ and an estimated demand of 13.90-mgd for 2005, the City of Clearwater's water system currently has a production surplus of _____. However, the estimated demand of 13.90-mgd does not account for the reduction in potable water demand resulting from the City's reclaimed water system. Therefore, 15 and 25 percent water reuse offsets have been applied to the total demand, resulting in an average daily demand of 13.69- mgd or 13.55-mgd, respectively.18 Based on the total water production capacity of ______, a larger surplus of _____ with a 15 percent offset, or ______ with a 25 percent offset would result.

The assessment revealed that a variety of ' corrective measures are necessary to maintain existing levels of service. These recommended corrective measures are outlined below. ' Well Pump Corrosion Currently, corrosion in the vertical turbine pumps used at each raw water production well requires the periodic replacement and maintenance of the pump shaft and pump bowl assembly. Because this maintenance process is difficult and labor intensive, it is recommended that stainless steel submersible pumps be utilized instead. The stainless steel construction of the submersible pumps helps to minimize corrosion, extending the useful life of the pumps.20 ' 20 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. 1 Potable Water Element 3i ' City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' Standby Power Requirements ' Chapter No. 62-555 F.A.C. states that each community water system shall provide standby power for operation of the water source, treatment, and pumping facilities necessary to deliver drinking water meeting all primary and secondary standards to meet the average daily demand for the system. The raw water production wells feeding Reservoir 1 are not currently provided with an auxiliary power source as needed to achieve compliance with Chapter 62-555, F.A.C. Two alternative corrective measures were evaluated: installation of a permanent generator or the purchase of portable generators. In the end, portable generators to serve the ' production wells were chosen as the preferred alternative given the cost savings. ' According to the Water System Assessment, backup generators with sufficient capacity are available to serve the treatment and storage facilities at Reservoirs 1 and 2, but not Reservoir 3. Therefore, the study recommended that the existing generator be replaced with a larger generator to handle the current load. Potable Water Element s2 ' City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' Control and Monitoring Improvements ' In order to make control and monitoring of the City's water system centralized, it is recommended the City install the necessary Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment at existing facilities to allow communications with ' the new network installed at Reservoir No. 1. This includes control and monitoring of Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3, raw water wells and Pinellas County interconnections. 1 For Reservoir Nos. 2 and 3, the raw water wells, and county interconnects, the Water System Assessment recommended that a radio telemetry system be established to enable effective communications between system facilities. At the county interconnects, it was recommended to add a remotely operated valve to open or close the interconnects. ' Storage Improvements ' As stated previously, the City's three elevated storage tanks face water stagnation issues with the potential result of degradation to water quality. At the time of the Water System Assessment, the storage tanks were valved-off. Additionally, the Water System Assessment noted that the City's storage tank capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Therefore, the study recommended the ' elevated storage tanks to be placed back into service, restoring sufficient fire- flows to certain areas of the City. To alleviate the water stagnation issues at the ' storage tanks, recommendations were outlined that included the installation of a mixing system, an altitude valve, isolation valve and small booster pump station to force water out of the storage tanks. To increase fire-flow capacity, the Water ' System Assessment recommended the addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks in combination with distribution system pipe modifications. Pumping Improvements ' Improvements to the City's pumping facilities are also necessary to improve fire- flows. The Water System Assessment indicates that the current high service pumps ' are deficient in meeting fire-flow levels in some areas of the City. Therefore, additional booster pump stations are recommended in conjunction with distribution system pipe modifications. 1 Potable Water Element 33 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.7 Issues and Opportunities for Expansion and New Facilities One of the major goals for the City is to increase self sufficiency in water supply to control future costs. Presently, the City purchases approximately 8 million gallons of water from Pinellas County at a cost of approximately 7 million dollars per year. Over the years, wholesale water rates have increased and are projected to continually rise. To accomplish increased self sufficiency, the Capital Improvement Plan portion of the Water Master Plan outlines numerous projects involving the expansion of existing water production facilities or the construction of new water production facilities. Limited Source Water Opportunities i! ~~ i The City of Clearwater is uniquely located between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay in an area that has relatively low rates of aquifer recharge. This results in limited quantities of fresh groundwater, and subsequently, limited opportunities to expand source water production. Source water quality continues to degrade due to increased chloride levels caused by pumping of wells in excess of long term safe yield capacities, but within existing water use permitted quantities.21 Chloride Cap Restriction One of the greatest challenges in increasing capacity for existing production wells and the construction of new production wells is the Southwest Florida Water Management District's chloride cap of 250 mg/L. This chloride cap level is intended to serve as a guideline in evaluating trends and controlling the effects of wellfield withdraws on groundwater quality. In order for the City to proceed with new and sustainable water resources as outlined in their Capital Improvement Plan, the chloride cap must be increased. To provide the necessary evidence to support an increase in the chloride cap, the City is planning to undertake a Chloride Monitoring Welf Study. The first phase of this study will examine the effects in the vicinity of Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3, as the impact of this cap will limit the water production from these facilities first. In a later phase, a similar study will be initiated in the vicinity of Reservoir 2 and south 21 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan. Parsons Corporation. October 2004. 1 Potable Water Element 34 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan of Gulf-to-Bay to support the development of a new reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 2.zz Feasible New Groundwater Sources As part of the Capital Improvements Plan, the Water Master Plan identifies three improvement projects aimed at increasing water supply that are economically viable as well as technically feasible during the planning period. These three projects include: • Development of an additional 1-mgd of fresh groundwater supply and .: associated wells and transmission mains to connect to Reservoir No. 3; • Development of an additional 1-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir- No. 1 by means of adding an additional 1.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply and expansion of the reverse osmosis facility; and, ' Development of an additional 3.5-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 2 by adding an additional 4.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply, transmission mains and a new, low-pressure reverse osmosis faci I ity. r As stated previously, these projects are partially dependent upon an increase to the SWFWMD's imposed chloride cap. However, even if the effort to raise the cap is unsuccessful, the proposed new production wells for Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3 are still recommended to be developed and permitted. The development of these wells would increase the rotational capacity, maximize production, rest existing wells, and allow for chloride levels to subside. 3.8 Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge The natural drainage features within the City of Clearwater water system are displayed on Map 6. As can be seen, the City is located between the seawater bodies of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay.

To the north of the City, Lake Tarpon is a large freshwater resource. According to the Southwest Florida Water Management District over 84 percent of all water used within the District's boundaries emanates from groundwater resources. The deepest and most productive aquifer within the District is the Upper Floridan, which also is found underneath the City of Clearwater.23 In the Clearwater area, the Upper Floridan aquifer contains a relatively thin layer of fresh groundwater underlain by a transition zone of brackish water, which increases in chloride and dissolved solids concentrations with depth until seawater concentrations are reached.24 The Upper Floridan is a productive aquifer, supplying more than ten times the amount of water pumped from the two other aquifer systems found in the Water Management District. In the northern portion of the District, the Floridan aquifer is readily recharged by rainfall (greater than 10 inches per year), and is most highly productive. In central Pinellas County, the Floridan aquifer features a recharge rate of 1 to 10 inches per year.25 3.9 Existing Regulations and Programs Relating to Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge Future protection and use of water resources is a public service for which long- range comprehensive planning is mandatory. The primary threats to groundwater in the Clearwater area are saltwater intrusion via overdraft and contamination. When groundwater recharge exceeds withdrawal, there is a potential for saltwater to move inward from coastal areas, ultimately affecting the quality of the available groundwater. Additionally, contamination from injection and drainage wells, fertilizers, storage tanks, and other sources affect the quality of groundwater. Both overdraft and contamination are risks that can be reduced via careful regulation. The Southwest Florida Water Management District is the primary regulator and program administrator relating to natural drainage and groundwater recharge. zs Southwest Florida Water Management District.

Potable Water Element 37 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan The City of Clearwater is contained within the boundaries of several SWFWMD water supply programs, including:>> Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) was initiated by the district to assess water availability, including minimum flows and levels, in order to support water resource recover, water use permitting, and environmental resource permitting. Both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County provide input to the technical projects performed by the District. Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area sets water use permit (WUP) for the area, including additional conservation requirements such as reuse. Public supply permits within the WUCA limit per capita water use demands to 1 50 gallons per person per day. Any utility not meeting these numbers has strict timeframes and guidelines to implement this limit. The City of Clearwater is not using its entire permitted allocation of groundwater from the Upper Floridan aquifer although it is anticipated that its utility will eventually grow into its unused quantity to meet future demand. For example, the City of Clearwater's brackish R.O. facility is permitted to withdraw 6.3 mgd of brackish groundwater, although the City has been withdrawing an average of 3 mgd.t2~ The City of Clearwater has been and is actively participating in SWFWMD's efforts to prioritize recharge areas within the Upper Floridan aquifer recharge area. Tampa Bay/Andote River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Project As part of SWFWMD's continuing efforts to ensure the coordination of local governments' planning practices regarding water supply management, SWFWMD has developed the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Program in coordination with local governments to conduct water resource assessments and planning on a watershed rather than district-wide basis. The City of Clearwater is in the Tampa Bay/Anclote River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Area. This area encompasses all of Pinellas County and parts of Hillsborough and ~~~ Southwest Florida Water Management District, 2005 District Water Management Plan. ' X21 Southwest Florida Water Management District, 2006 Regional Water Supply Plan LJ Potable Water Element 38 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' Pasco Counties or approximately 566 square miles. The Tampa Bay/Anclote River CWM Plan was last adopted in 2002. The 2006 SWFWMD Regional Water Supply ' Plan requires updates to the CWM Plan in which Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater will be invited to participate.

APPENDIX A: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS .................................39 ' 3 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan I. INTRODUCTION ' According to Florida Administrative Code section 9J-5.01 1, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to assure that necessary public facilities and services correlate to future land use projections. Furthermore, the purpose of the Potable ~, Water Element is to identify capital improvements and establish goals, objectives and policies that will ensure the City of Clearwater is able to supply quality ~ drinking water of a sufficient quantity for current and future needs. The Potable Water Element focuses on the existing systems and facilities and ~, projected system needs based on projected population growth and future land use in the City of Clearwater. This is accomplished through an inventory and analysis of existing data, identification of present and potential problems and their solutions, and projection of future potable water needs for specific planning periods. The City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment, prepared in June of 2004, and the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan, prepared in October 2004, serve as the primary data sources for the existing conditions inventory and analysis. Both reports were prepared by Parsons Corporation. The composition of the Potable Water Element follows the minimum data requirements outlined in Section 9J-5.01 1, F.A.C. For ease of reference, the Potable Water Element is organized into two major sections; the first outlines the Goals, Objectives and Policies relating to potable water and the second includes an Inventory and Analysis of the water system. _~ Potable Water Element 4 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan II.

INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Section 9j-5.003, F.A.C. defines a potable water facility as a system of structures designed to collect, treat, or distribute potable water, and includes water wells, treatment plants, reservoirs, and distribution mains. The following section details the existing conditions of the City of Clearwater's water system, with the purpose of identifying future water system needs. 3.1 Operational Responsibility The City of Clearwater Water Division is a municipally operated water supplier, charged with the responsibility of administering the City's water utility. In 2006, the City of Clearwater Water Division supplied more than 5.15 billion gallons of water to more than 140,000 customers, amounting to approximately 100 gallons of water per person per day. The division maintains 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 588 miles of water mains.' Users of the City of Clearwater water system consume approximately 13 million gallons of potable water every day. Approximately 37 percent is pumped from City owned and operated groundwater wells; the remaining 63 percent of the daily demand is supplied by water purchased from Pinellas County. Pinellas County also receives water supplied by the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water, which in turn becomes part of the 63 percent supplied to the customers of Clearwater.z 3.2 Geographic Service Area and Predominant Land Uses The geographic service area for the City's water system extends beyond the City limits and represents an area of approximatley 54 square miles in size. The majority of the customers beyond the City limits are located within unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves within the City of Clearwater. The boundaries of the water service area generally extend from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the City of Dunedin to the north, the City of Safety Harbor and Tampa Bay to the east, and the ' cities of Largo, Bellair, and Bellair Beach to the south. Map 1 shows the geographic service area of the City of Clearwater potable water system. 1 ~ Public Utilities -Water Division. Ci of Clearwater Website. Accessed Jul 2007.

Prepared by Wade Trim, Inc., August 2007 for City of Clearwater Water Supply Element. I~ WaDET~ 12 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the City of Clearwater is estimated to have a total population of 107,742 as of .July 1, 2006.3 However, the City's water service area extends beyond the City limits to include numerous unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves. Thus, to determine the population of the City's water service area, a broader figure that includes both the City population and enclave population must be utilized. Because it includes the City of Clearwater in addition to all interior county enclaves, the Pinellas County Planning Sector 6 closely matches the City of Clearwater's water service area. Therefore, population projections for Planning Sector 6, which have been calculated by the Pinellas County Planning Department, will be utilized for this Potable Water Element. Using the projections from Pinellas County for permanent, seasonal, and tourist populations, the functional population of the water service area can be determined based on the following formula: Functional Population = [(permanent + seasonal) x 41 + (permanent x 81 + tourist 12 2 This formula is based on Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) rules with the purpose of making adjustments for seasonal residents and tourists.4 Once calculated, the functional population figure represents the value utilized to calculate the gross per capita water consumption for the City.

Within downtown Clearwater, a dense mix of institutional, commercial, office, recreational and high density residential land uses are found. In addition to downtown, the Clearwater Beach area features a dense mix of land uses that include major commercial/resort destinations, high density residential developments, and recreational uses. Intensive commercial land uses, including regional commercial shopping centers are scattered along the City's major transportation arteries, particularly Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and U.S. Highway 19. The majority of the rest of the City is dominated by well-established single- family neighborhoods, intermixed with supportive institutional and recreational uses. Map 2 shows the existing land uses found within the City of Clearwater water service area. 3.3 Design Capacity and Current Demand on Existing Facilities. Water Wells and Treatment Facilities Potable water within the City of Clearwater is provided by 23 City-operated fresh water wells (19 active and 4 inactive) and seven interconnects with the Pinellas County water system. Although it is currently not used, the City has access to the i water system of the City of St. Petersburg though an emergency interconnect. The City's water wells are located in close proximity to three treatment and storage facilities: Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3. The interconnects to the Pinellas County system are found at various locations in the City: Reservoir No. 2; Reservoir No. 3; along Belcher Road near the intersections with Drew Street, Gulf-to-Bay (SR 60), ! and Belleair Road; and at South Sand Keys The locations of the various water supply facilities within Clearwater are illustrated on Map 3. Pinellas County water is purchased by the City of Clearwater through an intergovernmental agreement as a means to augment the City's groundwater sources and to meet the City's water demands. In the 2002 water year, an average of 1 1.5-mgd of water was purchased by the City from Pinellas County. In the Fall of 2003, after a reverse osmosis treatment facility was implemented at Reservoir No. 1, the City was able to reduce the amount of water purchased from the County by a net of 2-mgd.6 s City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment.

Ia W~ET~uM 1 Potable Water Element 17 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan In general, the groundwater source for both Clearwater and Pinellas County comes from a groundwater supply called the Floridan Aquifer. More specifically, the City water sources are 22 groundwater wells, while Pinellas County potable water is obtained from two different sources: Tampa Bay Water's regional water system; and fresh water from Eldridge Wilde wellfields. Tampa Bay Water is a local wholesaler providing water to six local governments in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Multiple sources contribute to Tampa Bay Water's regional water supply; these include groundwater and surface water from around the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and saline water from Tampa Bay. A summary of the daily production rates for the three reservoirs is provided in Table 2. The table also details the relative production provided by the City and the production provided by Pinellas County. Table 2 Summary of Daily Productions by Source The values reflect the addition of a reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 1, which, at the time of the preparation of the Water System Assessment (Clearwater Water Master Plan), was expected to reduce the amount of water purchased from ' Pinellas County by a net of 2-million gallons per day (mgd) on a long term basis. The average daily demand for potable water within the City of Clearwater water service area totals 13-mgd, of which 63 percent is provided by Pinellas County and 37 percent is provided by the City's wells. According to the City's water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the City is allowed to pump a maximum of 6.25-mgd from its wells. ~~ "Value listed represents finished blended water capacity. In order to produce the 3-mgd blended finished water capacity requires 3.6-mgd of well water, 0.6-mgd of which is concentrate that is discharged to the sanitary sewer. ""Water provided by Pinellas County interconnects located on-site with existing City of Clearwater facilities. Source: City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. 18 Potable Water Element ' City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Reservoir No. 1 is located on Palmetto Street near Saturn Avenue and consists of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, a single 5 million gallon (mg) storage tank, chloramination facilities for disinfection, and a high service pumping station. Reservoir 1 utilizes 3.6-mgd of raw groundwater to produce 3-mgd of treated ' potable water. The Reverse osmosis plant uses 2.6-mgd of water to produce 2.0- mgd of permeate which is blended with 1.0-mgd of pre-treated by-passed water, attaining a total of 3-mgd of potable drinking water. Feed water to the plant comes from 10 active wells (Well Nos. 23, 31, 48, 65, 66, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 81). Production from Well 81 is limited due to the need for a sand pack to prevent sand from entering the well. ' Reservoir No. 2 is located near the intersection of US 19 and Drew Street and consists of a single 5-mg storage tank, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 3 active wells (Well Nos. 45, ' 46 and 53). Two additional inactive wells are also connected (Well Nos. 51 and 52). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 0.6 mgd. Also on- site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 1.5-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine concentration of the incoming water. The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.$ ' Reservoir No. 3, located near the intersection of Countryside Blvd. and State Road 580, consists of two 5-mg storage tanks, chloramination facilities, and a high ' service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 5 active wells (Well Nos. 56, 58, 68, 69, and 77). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 1.2-mgd. Also on site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 7-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine ' concentration of the incoming water. The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.9 ii ~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation.

June 2004. 19 Potable Water Element ' City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Elevated Storage Tanks ' The City of Clearwater operates three 1 million gallon (mg) elevated storage tanks to provide additional storage capacity, consistent distribution system pressure, and to respond to emergency demands such as fire. The three elevated storage tanks ' are identified and located as follows: Del Oro, located near the intersection of McMullen-Booth Road and Drew; Martin Luther King, located near the intersection ' of Bellevue Blvd. and Martin Luther King; and Otten Street, located near the intersection of Otten Street and Highland Ave. At the time of the preparation of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment (June 2004), the three ' elevated storage tanks were valved-off due to water stagnation issues and degradation of water quality. However, the City has since placed the Martin Luther King and Otten Street tanks back into service in order to maintain an adequate level of service and for additional emergency storage capabilities.~~ i With regard to the total capacity of drinking water sources and treatment facilities, Chapter 62-555(6) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: The total capacity of a/l water sources and treatment faci/ities connected to a water system sha/l at least equal the water system's design maximum-day water demand (including design fire-f/ow demand if fire protection is being provided). ' In total, the City has a storage capacity of 23-mgd provided by the four 5-mgd storage tanks at Reservoirs 1, 2 and 3 and the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks. However, at the time of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment ,the City's total storage capacity was estimated at 20-mgd, not calculating the capacity of the elevated storage tanks because of their stagnation ' and water quality issues. In addition to the City's own storage capacity, Pinellas County provides the City with some storage capacity through the interconnections. However, the exact amount of storage capacity available to the City through ' Pinellas County is unknown.>> Based on the Water System Assessment report, the City's design maximum-day potable water demand is estimated at 19-mgd. At 20-mgd, the City's current storage tank capacity is sufficient to achieve potable water design maximum-day io City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation.

Potable Water Element 20 ' City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' demand according to Chapter 62-555 F.A.C. However, the Water System Assessment noted that this total capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. For this reason, and as noted above, two of the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks were put back into service, but several modifications to the distribution system were recommended in the assessment to increase overall ' capacity, including distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.12 ' Pumping Facilities High-service pumps are found at each of the City's three reservoirs to ensure distribution system capacity and pressure. These pumps ensure that water under sufficient pressure is delivered from the wellheads to the various storage and treatment facilities and then into the distribution system. Additionally, system capacity and pressure is supplemented through the six direct interconnections with the Pinellas County water system. With regard to required pumping capacity, Chapter 62-555.320(1 5) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: (a) Unless e/evated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity ' of a booster pumping station, shall be sufficient to: 1. Meet at /east the water system's, or the booster station service area's, peak- , hour water demand (and if fire protection is being provided, meet at /east the water system's, or the booster station service area's, design fire-flow rate p/us a background water demand equivalent to the maximum-day demand other than fire-f/ow demand); and r 2. Maintain a minimum gauge pressure of 20 pounds per square inch throughout the water system's, or the booster station service area's, distribution system up to each customer's point of connection to the distribution system. (b) Where elevated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of al/ high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity 12 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment.

In addition, the total capacity of the high-service pumping stations, or the capacity of the booster pumping station, combined with the useful elevated finished-water storage capacity sha// be sufficient to meet the water ' system's, or the booster station service area's, peak-hour water demand for at /east four consecutive hours (and if fire protection is being provided, sha/l be sufficient to meet the water system's, or the booster station service area's, design fire-f/ow rate p/us a background water demand equivalent to the maximum-day demand other than fire-flow demand for the design fire-f/ow duration). As noted above, the City's total water storage capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Because pumping capacity is related to achieving sufficient storage capacity, improvements to the City's pumping capacity is warranted. The Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment notes that possible solutions include distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.13 Distribution System ' The City of Clearwater's water distribution system includes 574.6 miles of water main, 40,000 water meters, 4,050 fire hydrants, 8,330 valves and 7,500 backflow ' devices. Approximately 48% of the water mains of the City are 6 inches in diameter while almost 20% are 8 inches. Table 3 displays the distribution of water mains in the system. In 2006, the City of Clearwater completed the implementation of 17 phases of a 20-Year Plan to upgrade the pipes of the distribution system. With this implementation, the City eliminated "cast iron" and undersize lines improving the system to satisfy future demand. Table 4 displays these improvements by year.

I~ WrnETxiM Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Reclaimed Water System The City of Clearwater currently operates a reclaimed water system to ensure that adequate water is available today and in the future and that the City's residents have high quality water at an affordable price. The use of reclaimed water helps the ' City to preserve high quality potable water sources by providing a reliable and economical alternative source for irrigation water. Use of reclaimed water for irrigation can benefit the City because every gallon of potable water not used for irrigation is one less gallon of water purchased from Pinellas County. This has the potential of significant potable water savings given the escalating costs of purchasing water from Pinellas County.14 The City's reclaimed water system is the result of cooperative funding by the Southwest Florida Water Management District ' and the City of Clearwater.~s The City's reclaimed water system is shown on Map 5 and includes 51 miles of reclaimed water main. At present, reclaimed water service extends to the Countryside Country Club Golf Course and driving range, Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Course and the soccer fields on McMullen Booth Road in the Countryside area, which are fed from the Northeast Treatment Plant. The Northeast Treatment Plant will also serve the reclaimed projects on the east side of Clearwater: Drew Union, Del Oro, Morningside, and Skycrest. The Marshall Street Plant feeds Jack Russell Stadium, Pier 60 Park, Coachman Park as well as 1,400 customers on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. In 2004, reclaimed water became available to the Harbor Oaks Area of Clearwater. This area also receives it supply from the Marshall Street Plant. Approximately 2,000 customers are now provided reclaimed water, with a current consumption in the range of 2 to 2.5-mgd. The City of Clearwater is currently designing the Skycrest Reclaimed Water Project which will include an east/west interconnection, pumping and storage facility. This interconnection will complete the loop within the City, resulting in both sides of the City being connected for future expansion of our reclaimed program.16 14 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

In December 2007, the City of Clearwater re-evaluated its Reclaimed Water Master Plan (2001) that includes a 20-year schedule for reclaimed water extensions. Table 5 provides a summary of the reclaimed water projects prioritized in this study for the next 13 years: Table 5 Reclaimed Water Master Plan, December 2007 2007 Skycrest 2008 Chautauqua- Coachman Ridge 2008 Morningside 2009 Palmetto-Glen Oaks 2010 Clearwater Harbor 2011-2020 Resident Initiated/Large Users/Wholesale Costumers Source: City of Clearwater. Reclaimed Water Master Plan Re-Evaluation, 2007 3.4 Level of Service The existing Clearwater Comprehensive Plan has established the following Level of Service standards to be used in determining the availability of facility capacity and demand created by new development: 120 gallons per capita per day at a pressure of 40-45 psi. Potable water level of service is measured based on the rate of potable water consumption on a per person basis. This method of measurement provides an indicator of the demand placed on the potable water system and allows for tracking improvements in potable water conservation measures. As the rate of consumption decreases, the rate of success of potable water conservation measures increases. Based on the current potable water supply of 13-mgd allocated across the water service area's 2005 functional population of 146,832, the demand for potable water per capita per day is 88.5 gallons. This rate of demand is well within the adopted level of service. is Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.5 Facility Capacity Analysis As highlighted in Table 2, the City of Clearwater's production is limited to 6.25 mgd from local potable water resources and is supplemented by purchase of potable water through an interlocal agreement with 'Pinellas County to meet demands in excess of what is locally produced by the City. Rated/permitted capacity at the City of Clearwater three Water Reservoirs /High Service Pump Stations is 25 mgd with pumping capable of meeting instantaneous peaks in excess of 31 mgd. The current inter-local agreement between Pinellas) County and the City of Clearwater was signed on September 2005 and it is valid through September 2030. The agreement states that the County agrees to furnish up to 15 mgd yearly average of water (treated) for its use and for distribution in its water service area.» As stated previously, the City of Clearwater's water system is estimated to have an average daily demand of 13.90-mgd. This is based 'on a functional population ' estimate of 146,832 for the water service area, and assumes a demand of 90.5 gallons per capita in addition to 610,000 gallons per day for significant water users.~$ The estimated average daily demand of 13.90-mgd also takes into account the planned future land uses of the City of Clearwater. Taking into consideration the agreement between the City and the County, the City is using only 51 percent of its available capacity of treated water for consumption. The estimated demand of 13.90-mgd does not account for the reduction in potable water demand resulting from the City's reclaimed water system. Therefore, 15 and 25 percent water reuse offsets have been applied to the total demand, resulting in an average daily demand of 13.69-mgd or 13.55-mgd, respectively.19 Table 6 provides the projected annual average daily demand for the City of Clearwater water system during the initial 5-year planning increment through 2010. The table also provides the annual average daily demand considering a 15 and 25 percent offset for water reuse based on the functional population. Without the offsets provided by the reclaimed water system; the average daily demand is projected to increase to 14.05-mgd by 2010.

Given that the City is almost completely built-out, significant population growth and the conversion of large undeveloped lands to urban use is not expected. The City's population is expected to increase only slightly, while the City's current distribution of land use is planned to be maintained; generally in its present state. Rather, the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan focuses on redevelopment efforts throughout the City, particularly within downtown Clearwater and the Clearwater Beach area. Table 7 provides the projected annual average daily demand for the City of Clearwater water system during the remaining planning period, 2011 through 2025. By 2025, the water system service area is projected to have a functional population of 150,871, resulting in an annual average daily demand of 14.26- , mgd. However, considering a conservative 15 percent offset for water reuse, the average daily demand would actually decline to 12.10-mgd by 2025.

Data Source 2016 through 2025: Based on functional population data from Table 1 and a continuation of the method utilized by [he City of Clearwater Water Master Plan. Taking into consideration the permitted City's capacity to pump from its wells of 6.25 mgd, the governance agreement with Pinellas County that allows purchases of treated water up to 15mgd, and the projected reuse offset (15-25%), it could be concluded that the City of Clearwater has sufficient quantity of treated water available to the City to support the projected growth. ' 31 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' 3.6 Performance and Condition of Existing Facilities An assessment of the performance and condition of existing facilities was conducted as part of the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment, prepared in 2004. The assessment revealed that a variety of corrective measures are necessary to maintain existing levels of service. These recommended corrective measures are outlined below. Well Pump Corrosion Currently, corrosion in the vertical turbine pumps used at each raw water production well requires the periodic replacement and maintenance of the pump shaft and pump bowl assembly. Because this maintenance process is difficult and labor intensive, it is recommended that stainless steel submersible pumps be utilized instead. The stainless steel construction of the submersible pumps helps r to minimize corrosion, extending the useful life of the pumps.21 Standby Power Requirements ' Chapter No. 62-555 F.A.C. states that each community water system shall provide standby power for operation of the water source, treatment, and pumping facilities necessary to deliver drinking water meeting all primary and secondary standards to meet the average daily demand for the system. The raw water production wells feeding Reservoir 1 are not currently provided with an auxiliary power source as needed to achieve compliance with Chapter 62-555, F.A.C. Two alternative corrective measures were evaluated: installation of a permanent generator or the purchase of portable generators. In the end, portable generators to serve the production wells were chosen as the preferred alternative given the cost savings. According to the Water System Assessment, backup ~ generators with sufficient ' capacity are available to serve the treatment and storage facilities at Reservoirs 1 and 2, but not Reservoir 3. Therefore, the study recommended that the existing generator be replaced with a larger generator to handle the current load. z, City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. 1 1 1 ii Potable Water Element 32 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Control and Monitoring Improvements In order to make control and monitoring of the City's water system centralized, it is recommended the City install the necessary .Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment at existing facilities to allow communications with the new network installed at Reservoir No. 1. This includes control and monitoring of Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3, raw water wells and Pinellas County interconnections. For Reservoir Nos. 2 and 3, the raw water wells, 'and county interconnects, the Water System Assessment recommended that a radio telemetry system be established to enable effective communications between system facilities. At the county interconnects, it was recommended to add a remotely operated valve to open or close the interconnects. Storage Improvements As stated previously, the City's three elevated storage tanks face water stagnation issues with the potential result of degradation to water quality. At the time of the Water System Assessment, the storage tanks were valved-off. Additionally, the Water System Assessment noted that the City's storage tank capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Therefore, the study recommended the elevated storage tanks to be placed back into service, restoring sufficient fire- flows to certain areas of the City. To alleviate the water stagnation issues at the storage tanks, recommendations were outlined that included the installation of a mixing system, an altitude valve, isolation valve and small booster pump station to force water out of the storage tanks. To increase fire-flow capacity, the Water System Assessment recommended the addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks in combination with distribution system pipe modifications. Pumping Improvements Improvements to the City's pumping facilities are also necessary to improve fire- flows. The Water System Assessment indicates that the current high service pumps are deficient in meeting fire-flow levels in some areas of the City. Therefore, additional booster pump stations are recommended in conjunction with distribution system pipe modifications. 1 Potable Water Element 33 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.7 Issues and Opportunities for Expansion and New Facilities One of the major goals of the City is to increase self sufficiency in water supply to control future costs. Presently, the City purchases approximately 8 million gallons of water from Pinellas County at a cost of approximately 7 million dollars per year. ' Over the years, wholesale water rates have increased and are projected to continually rise. To accomplish increased self sufficiency, the Capital Improvement Plan portion of the Water Master Plan outlines numerous projects involving the expansion of existing water production facilities or the construction of new water production facilities. Limited Source Water Opportunities 1 1 The City of Clearwater is uniquely located between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay in an area that has relatively low rates of aquifer recharge. This results in limited quantities of fresh groundwater, and subsequently, limited opportunities to expand source water production. Source water quality continues to degrade due to increased chloride levels caused by pumping of wells in excess of long term safe yield capacities, but within existing water use permitted, quantities.22 Chloride Cap Restriction One of the greatest challenges in increasing capacity fo'r existing production wells and the construction of new production wells is the', Southwest Florida Water Management District's chloride cap of 250 mg/L. This chloride cap level is intended to serve as a guideline in evaluating trends and controlling the effects of wellfield withdraws on groundwater quality. In order for the City to proceed with new and sustainable water resources as outlined in their Capital Improvement Plan, the chloride cap must be increased. To provide the necessary evidence to support an increase in the chloride cap, the City is planning to undertake a Chloride Monitoring Well Study. The first phase of this study will examine the effects in the vicinity of Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3, as the impact of this cap will limit the water production from these facilities first. In a later phase, a similar study will be initiated in the vicinity of Reservoir 2 and south zz City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan. Parsons Corporation. October 2004. Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan of Gulf-to-Bay to support the development of a new reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 2.z3 ' Feasible New Groundwater Sources As part of the Capital Improvements Plan, the Water Master Plan identifies three improvement projects aimed at increasing water supply that are economically ' viable as well as technically feasible during the planning period. These three projects include: • Development of an additional 1-mgd of fresh groundwater supply and associated wells and transmission mains to connect to Reservoir No. 3; 1 - it at Reservoir Development of an additional 1 mgd of production capac y No. 1 by means of adding an additional 1.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply and expansion of the reverse osmosis facility; and, • Development of an additional 3.5-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 2 by adding an additional 4.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply, transmission mains and a new, low-pressure reverse osmosis faci I ity. As stated previously, these projects are partially dependent upon an increase to the SWFWMD's imposed chloride cap. However, even if the effort to raise the cap is unsuccessful, the proposed new production wells for Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3 are still recommended to be developed and permitted. The development of these wells would increase the rotational capacity, maximize production, rest existing wells, and allow for chloride levels to subside. 3.8 Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge The natural drainage features within the City of Clearwater water system are shown on Map 6. As can be seen, the City is located between the seawater bodies of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay.

According to the Southwest Florida Water Management District over 84 percent of all water used within the District's boundaries emanates from groundwater resources. The deepest and most productive aquifer within the District is the Upper Floridan, which also is found underneath the City of Clearwater.24 In the Clearwater area, the Upper Floridan aquifer contains a relatively thin layer of fresh groundwater underlain by a transition zone of brackish water, which increases in chloride and dissolved solids concentrations with depth until seawater concentrations are reached.25 The Upper Floridan is a productive aquifer, supplying more than ten times the amount of water pumped from the two other aquifer systems found in the Water Management District. In the northern portion of the District, the Floridan aquifer is readily recharged by rainfall (greater than 10 inches per year), and is most highly productive. In central Pinellas County, the Floridan aquifer features a recharge rate of 1 to 10 inches per year.26 3.9 Existing Regulations and Programs Relating to Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge Future protection and use of water resources is a public service for which long- range comprehensive planning is mandatory. The primary threats to groundwater in the Clearwater area are saltwater intrusion via overdraft and contamination. When groundwater recharge exceeds withdrawal, there is a potential for saltwater to move inward from coastal areas, ultimately affecting the quality of the available groundwater. Additionally, contamination from injection and drainage wells, fertilizers, storage tanks, and other sources affect the quality of groundwater. Both overdraft and contamination are risks that can be reduced via careful regulation. The Southwest Florida Water Management District is the primary regulator and program administrator relating to natural drainage and groundwater recharge. z" Southwest Florida Water Management District.

Potable Water Element 37 i City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan The City of Clearwater is contained within the boundaries of several SWFWMD water supply programs, including:27 /Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WR,4P) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) was initiated ' by the district to assess water availability, including minimum flows and levels, in order to support water resource recover, water use permitting, and environmental ' resource permitting. Both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County provide input to the technical projects performed by the District. Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area sets water use permit (WUP) for the area, including additional conservation requirements such as reuse. Public supply permits within the WUCA limit per capita water use demands to 150 gallons per person per day. Any utility not meeting these numbers has strict timeframes and guidelines to implement this limit. The City of Clearwater is not using its entire permitted allocation of groundwater from the Upper Floridan aquifer although it is anticipated that its utility will eventually grow into its unused quantity to meet future demand. For example, the City of Clearwater's brackish R.O. facility is permitted to withdraw 6.3 mgd of brackish groundwater, although the City has been withdrawing an average of 3 mgd28. The City of Clearwater has been and is actively participating in SWFWMD's efforts to prioritize recharge areas within the Upper Floridan aquifer recharge area. Tampa Bay/Anclote River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Project As part of SWFWMD's continuing efforts to ensure the coordination of local governments' planning practices regarding water supply management, SWFWMD has developed the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Program in coordination with local governments to conduct water resource assessments and planning on a watershed rather than district-wide basis. The City of Clearwater is in the Tampa Bay/Anclote River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Area. This area encompasses all of Pinellas County and parts of Hillsborough and Pasco Counties or approximately 566 square miles.

The seven-year period is generally considered the timeframe from conceptual project area identification, initial submittal to SWFWMD for cooperative funding through design and construction. D.5.5.7 ~~ Reclaimed water service will continue to be extended to private residences based on the . Reclaimed Water Master Plan Re-Evaluation ,December. 2007. A threshold will be developed which will require that new developments that will receive reclaimed water within 7 years shall be required to construct reclaimed water distribution lines.

Sandy Valerie, Hi, regarding your question in the email on the 17th: "I have a question about the revised Objective 21.2. Would you please explain to me the customer accounts and why have the numbers decreased? I thought that the customer accounts is based on the estimated population for the City's potable water service area." I ran this by the City's Engineering Manager Robert Fahey and he spoke also on the subject with Laura Damico, Senior Systems Analyst, Customer Service. Answer: because the number of accounts represented before were based on "equivalent" residential units (ERU) -the ERU number is derived by our customer service group by applying various multipliers times the actual number of accounts factoring in land use... while the ERU number was used before, it seems clearer to us to state the number of water accounts we have and that's the 40K number -the 50K number was misleading as it didn't represent total water service in any way. We want to be clearer in representing what the number is to avoid any confusion. From the City's Laura Damico, Senior Systems Analyst, Customer Service: "The 40,390 is very much in line with the Water customer count supplied annually for the CAFR and noted as including the reclaimed (non-potable) water service counts. Additionally, the annual count of water customers data that I provide for the CAFR also includes data from the past 4 years and is relatively stable (between 40,178 and 40,457 for the years of 2003.through 2007)." Below is an email from Ms. Damico to the City's consultant Wade Trim on the subject. Please let me know if this is acceptable justification for the figure change, or if you have any additional questions. Thanks. Sandy Sandra E.

He will get the electronic version of the map to Wade Trim and Sandy. Rob said the part of the Wade Trim report discussing the various capacities of the City's water supply system needs to be reworded. It is the part that refers to the City's goal of eventually providing approximately 80% of the water used by the City's population. Rob explained that we have adequate capacity to serve our population as we have an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County to buy what we need for our population -this is how we address our capacity. We get letters from PINCO that we have capacity for as long as the agreement -they let us know the rates as per the agreement (on LaserFiche). Regarding page 30 and the SWFWMD population projections, Rob said he would follow up on this by sending a letter to SWFWMD for clarification on it. Regarding the Appendix containing the CIP, Rob would like to put in the City's 6 year plan from the Budget in lieu of the PARSON'S report. Sandy said she would send an email to Jose Fernandez at Wade Trim requesting an updated document to be sent electronically to her with the maps (reposted on the FTP site as per Rob) and strike-outs and underlines for the GOP's. Then Rob will take another look at the GOP's to make sure they are appropriate for the City. Sandy asked Rob who she should contact when working on the EAR Based updated GOP's for the other sub-elements of the Utilities Element and Rob said to provide them to him for review/recommendations.

MUNICIPAL SERVICES BUILDING A project progress meeting was held on August 21, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. The following individuals were in attendance: Rob Fahey, City of Clearwater Catherine Porter, City of Clearwater Sandra Herman, City of Clearwater Jose Fernandez, Wade Trim Amanda Warner, Wade Trim Goals of Progress Meeting Wade Trim provided a general overview of the project progress to date along with the goal of the progress meeting, which was to discuss comments on the draft of the Potable Water Element that was delivered to the City on August 16, 2007. The discussion was then opened to the meeting participants to address the content of the (1) Goals, Objectives, and Policies and (2) Data and Analysis sections of the Potable Water Element. Discussion Goals, Objectives, and Policies Wade Trim informed the City that the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Potable Water Element were updated taking into account recommendations drawn from the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process as well as the requirements of Rule 9J- 5, F.A.C. The City informed Wade Trim that the City of Clearwater Reclaimed Water Master Plan has been updated since the start of the project and that this update will need to be reflected in Policy 21.5.7. The City did not have any further comments on the revised Goals, Objectives, and Policies at this time. The City requested a "strike-through and underline" version of the modifications to the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Potable Water Element in Microsoft Word format so that they may have a record of what was changed. Data and Analysis The City and Wade Trim discussed comments regarding the Data and Analysis portion of the Potable Water Element. The City stated that the number of wells and wellfields has changed and should be updated in the document on Page 14. These same revisions should be made to Map 3. P:\CIw2058\01 m\Docs\Planning In reference to Page 21, Wade Trim noted that the Parson's report which was used as a source for much of the information in the Potable Water Element, does not contain detailed information about the City's distribution system and that this information will need to be provided. In reference to Map 4, the City requested that the distribution system be displayed by ownership. A portion of the system displayed north of Curlew Road should appear as County-owned. Additionally, City/County connections should be shown and the Service Area should be verified. In reference to Table 3, the City advised of the completion of the Del Oro project. Other future projects may be represented in the revised Reclaimed Water Master Plan to be provided to Wade Trim by the City. In reference to Page 26, the City requested that the text be revised to reflect the actual conditions of the three reservoirs within the City. Two of the reservoirs are sourced from wells and County-provided water. One of the reservoirs is actually the Reverse Osmosis facility with a capacity of 3.5 MGD. The Reverse Osmosis facility requires a significant level of treatment compared to the other reservoirs with actual pumping level at approximately 2.0 MGD. The City noted that the Reverse Osmosis facility is sourced from a well approximately 150 to 200 feet deep. The City and Wade Trim then discussed the various capacities of the City's water supply system. The City of Clearwater's goal is to eventually provide approximately 80% of the water used by the City's population. The City pointed out that the City does not have a capacity concern because so much of the City's water is purchased from Tampa Bay Water or Pinellas County. The City and Wade Trim discussed the ability of the City to provide water to new developments at Clearwater Beach. The City confirmed that provision of water to Clearwater Beach should not be a problem because existing lines are adequate for distribution. The City pointed out that Table 5 requires additional notes to explain that the absence of numbers in the last column is due to the lack of data available for those years. There was significant discussion regarding Page 30 and the Southwest Florida Water Management Regional Water Supply Plan population projections in comparison to the City of Clearwater's population projections. Rob Fahey will be contacting SWFWMD to discuss the City's projections in comparison to those used in the SWFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan. Mr. Fahey will advise Wade Trim on the appropriate course of action regarding this matter. In reference to Page 32, the City requested that the text be revised to reflect the return of two tanks to the system and the possible demolition of the Del Oro tank due to its condition. In reference to Page 33, the City requested that the text be revised to state that the chloride process has been completed and that a new process with a mitigation plan has been implemented. P:\Clv/2058\01 m\Docs\Planning 2 The Appendix containing the Capital Improvement Plan was discussed. The City pointed out that some of the CIP has changed and will need to be revised in the Potable Water Element. The City will provide Wade Trim with updated CIP information. Conclusions The following actions will be taken as a result of this meeting: Wade Trim Correct the project contact email list so that Catherine Porter will receive correspondence regarding the project. Provide the City with a "strike-through and underline" version of the Goals, Objectives, and Policies for the Potable Water Element. Make corrections to the maps and text discussed in this meeting based on data to be provided by the City (below). City of Clearwater Provide updated information to Wade Trim regarding: o Reclaimed Water Master Plan o Wells and wellfields (numbers, locations) o Distribution system (pipe sizes/types, ownership, general conditions) o Production capacity o Monitoring/Mitigation Plan o Capital Improvement Plan • Contact SWFWMD to discuss the City's projections in comparison to those used in the SWFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan.

APPENDIX A: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS ................................ 39 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3 I. INTRODUCTION According to Florida Administrative Code section 9J-5.01 1, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to assure that necessary public facilities and services correlate to future land use projections. Furthermore, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to identify capital improvements and establish goals, objectives and policies that will ensure the City of Clearwater. is able to supply quality drinking water of a sufficient quantity for current and future needs. The Potable Water Element focuses on the existing systems and facilities and projected system needs based on projected population growth and future .land use in the City of Clearwater. This is accomplished through an inventory and analysis of existing data, identification of present and potential problems and their solutions, and projection of future potable water needs for specific planning periods. The City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment, prepared in June of 2004, and the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan, prepared in October 2004, serve as the primary data sources for the existing conditions inventory and analysis. Both reports were prepared by Parsons Corporation. The composition of the Potable Water Element follows the minimum data requirements outlined in Section 9J-5.01 1, FAC. For ease of reference, the Potable Water Element is organized into two major sections; the first outlines the Goals, Objectives and Policies relating to potable water and the second includes an Inventory and Analysis of the water system. 4 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan II.

INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Section 9J-5.003, FAC, defines a potable water facility as a system of structures designed to collect, treat, or distribute potable water, and includes water wells, treatment plants, reservoirs, and distribution mains. The following section details the existing conditions of the City of Clearwater's water system, with the purpose of identifying future water system needs. 3.1 Operational Responsibility The City of Clearwater Water Division is a municipally operated water supplier, charged with the responsibility of administering the City's water utility. In 2006, the City of Clearwater Water Division supplied more than 5.15 billion gallons of water to more than 140,000 customers, amounting to approximately 100 gallons of water per person per day. The division maintains 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 588 miles of water mains.' Users of the City of Clearwater water system consume approximately 13 million gallons of potable water every day. Approximately 37 percent is pumped from City owned and operated groundwater wells; the remaining 63 percent of the daily demand is supplied by water purchased from Pinellas County. Pinellas County also receives water supplied by the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water, which in turn becomes part of the 63 percent supplied to the customers of Clearwater.2 3.2 Geographic Service Area and Predominant Land Uses The geographic service area for the City's water system extends beyond the City limits and represents an area of approximatley 54 square miles in size. The majority of the customers beyond the City limits are located within unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves within the City of Clearwater. The boundaries of the water service area generally extend from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the City of Dunedin to the north, the City of Safety Harbor and Tampa Bay to the east, and the cities of Largo, Bellair, and Bellair Beach to the south. Map 1 shows the geographic service area of the City of Clearwater potable water system. ~ Public Utilities -Water Division. City of Clearwater Website. Accessed July 2007.

Potable Water Element 11 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Map 1 Water Service Area 12 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the City of Clearwater is estimated to have a total population of 107,742 as of July 1, 2006.3 However, the City's water service area extends beyond the City limits to include numerous unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves. Thus, to determine the population of the City's water service area, a broader figure that includes both the City population and enclave population must be utilized. Because it includes the City of Clearwater in addition to all interior county enclaves, the Pinellas County Planning Sector 6 closely matches the City of Clearwater's water service area. Therefore, population projections for Planning Sector 6, which have been calculated by the Pinellas County Planning Department, will be utilized for this Potable Water Element. Using the projections from Pinellas County for permanent, seasonal, and tourist populations, the functional population of the water service area can be determined based on the following formula: Functional Population = i(permanent + seasonal) x 41 + (permanent x 81 + tourist 12 2 This formula is based on Water Use Caution Area tWUCA) rules with the purpose of making adjustments for seasonal residents and tourists.4 Once calculated, the functional population figure represents the value utilized to calculate the gross per capita water consumption for the City.

Potable Water Element i4 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan The City of Clearwater is an urban and predominantly built-out city and features a diverse mix of land uses. Within downtown Clearwater, a dense mix of institutional, commercial, office, recreational and high density residential land uses are found. In addition to downtown, the Clearwater Beach area features a dense mix of land uses that include major commercial/resort destinations, high density residential developments, and recreational uses. Intensive commercial land uses, including regional commercial shopping centers are scattered along the City's major transportation arteries, particularly Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and U.S. Highway 19. The majority of the rest of the City is dominated by well established single- family neighborhoods, intermixed with supportive institutional and recreational uses. Map 2 shows the existing land uses found within the City of Clearwater water service area. 3.3 Design Capacity and Current Demand of Existing Facilities. Water Wells and Treatment Facilities Potable water within the City of Clearwater is provided by 22 City-operated fresh water wells (1 7 active and 5 inactive) and six interconnects with the Pinellas County water system. Although it is currently not used, the City has access to the water system of the City of St. Petersburg though an emergency interconnect. The City's water wells are located in close proximity to three treatment and storage facilities: Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3. The interconnects to the Pinellas County system are found at various locations in the City: Reservoir No. 2; Reservoir No. 3; along Belcher Road near the intersections with Drew Street, Gulf-to-Bay (SR 60), and Belleair Road; and at South Sand Key.S The locations of the various water supply facilities within Clearwater are illustrated on Map 3. Pinellas County water is purchased by the City of Clearwater through an intergovernmental agreement as a means to augment the City's groundwater sources and to meet the City's water demands. In the 2002 water year, an average of 1 1.5-mgd of water was purchased by the City from Pinellas County. In the Fall of 2003, after a reverse osmosis treatment facility was implemented at Reservoir No. 1, the City was able to reduce the amount of water purchased from the County by a net of 2-mgd.6 s City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment.

Water Supply Facilities Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 17 In general, the groundwater source for both Clearwater and Pinellas County comes from a groundwater supply called the Floridan Aquifer. More specifically, the City water sources are 22 groundwater wells, while Pinellas County potable water is obtained from two different sources: Tampa Bay Water's regional water system; and fresh water from Eldridge Wilde wellfields. Tampa Bay Water is a local wholesaler providing water to six local governments in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Multiple sources contribute to Tampa Bay Water's regional water supply; these include groundwater and surface water from around the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and saline water from Tampa Bay. A summary of the daily production rates for the three reservoirs is provided in Table 2. The table also details the relative production provided by the City and the production provided by Pinellas County. Table 2 Summary of Daily Productions by Source The values reflect the addition of a reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 1, which, at the time of the preparation of the Water System Assessment (Clearwater Water Master Plan), was expected to reduce the amount of water purchased from Pinellas County by a net of 2-million gallons per day (mgd) on a long term basis. The average daily demand for potable water within the City of Clearwater water service area totals 13-mgd, of which 63 percent is provided by Pinellas County and 37 percent is provided by the City's wells. According to the City's water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the City is allowed to pump a maximum of 6.25-mgd from its wells. 'Value listed represents finished blended water capacity. In order to produce the 3-mgd blended finished water capacity requires 3.6-mgd of well water, 0.6-mgd of which is concentrate that is discharged to the sanitary sewer.

Parsons.Corporation. June 2004. Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 18 Reservoir No. 1 is located on Palmetto Street near Saturn Avenue and consists of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, a single 5 million gallon (mg) storage tank, chloramination facilities for disinfection, and a high service pumping station. Reservoir 1 utilizes 3.6-mgd of raw groundwater to produce 3-mgd of treated potable water. The Reverse osmosis plant uses 2.6-mgd of water to produce 2.0- mgd of permeate which is blended with 1.0-mgd of pre-treated by-passed water, attaining a total of 3-mgd of potable drinking water. Feed water to the plant comes from 10 active wells (Well Nos. 23, 31, 48, 65, 66, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 81). Production from Well 81 is limited due to the need for a sand pack to prevent sand from entering the well. Reservoir No. 2 is located near the intersection of US 19 and Drew Street and consists of a single 5-mg storage tank, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 3 active wells (Well Nos. 45, 46 and 53). Two additional inactive wells are also connected (Well Nos. 51 and 52). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 0.6 mgd. Also on- site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 1.5-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine concentration of the incoming water. The high service pumps then deliver the finished water to the distribution system.$ Reservoir No. 3, located near the intersection of Countryside Blvd. and State Road 580, consists of two 5-mg storage tanks, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to. the plant comes from 5 active wells (Well Nos. 56, 58, 68, 69, and 77). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 1.2-mgd. Also on site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 7-mgd. Water from both the wells and interconnect are blended in the 5-mg storage tank. Chlorine and ammonia are added to boost the chloramine concentration of the incoming water.

Potable Water Element 19 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Elevated Storage Tanks The City of Clearwater operates three 1 million gallon (mg) elevated storage tanks to provide additional storage capacity, consistent distribution system pressure, and to respond to emergency demands such as fire. The three elevated storage tanks are identified and located as follows: Del Oro, located near the intersection of McMullen-Booth Road and Drew; Martin Luther King, located near the intersection of Bellevue Blvd. and Martin Luther King; and Otten Street, located near the intersection of Otten Street and Highland Ave. At the time of the preparation of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment (June 2004.), the three elevated storage tanks were valved-off due to water stagnation issues and degradation of water quality. However, the City has since placed the Martin Luther King and Otten Street tanks back into service in order to maintain an adequate level of service and for additional emergency storage capabilities.~~ With regard to the total capacity of drinking water sources and treatment facilities, Chapter 62-555(6) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: The total capacity of al/ water sources and treatment facilities connected to a water system sha// at /east equal the water system's design maximum-day water demand (including design fire-f/ow demand if fire protection is being provided). In total, the City has a storage capacity of 23-mgd provided by the four 5-mgd storage tanks at Reservoirs 1, 2 and 3 and the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks. However, at the time of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment ,the City's total storage capacity was estimated at 20-mgd, not calculating the capacity of the elevated storage tanks because of their stagnation and water quality issues. In addition to the City's own storage capacity, Pinellas County provides the City with some storage capacity through the interconnections. However, the exact amount of storage capacity available to the City through Pinellas County is unknown.>> Based on the Water System Assessment report, the City's design maximum-day potable water demand is estimated at 19-mgd. At 20-mgd, the City's current storage tank capacity is sufficient to achieve potable water design maximum-day ~~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. ~~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. Potable Water Element zo City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan demand according to Chapter 62-555 F.A.C. However, the Water System Assessment noted that this total capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. For this reason, and as noted above, two of the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks were put back into service, but several modifications to the distribution system were .recommended in the assessment to increase overall capacity, including distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.12 Pumping Facilities High-service pumps are found at each of the City's three reservoirs to ensure distribution system capacity and pressure. These pumps ensure that water under sufficient pressure is delivered from the wellheads to the various storage and treatment facilities and then into the distribution system. Additionally, system capacity and pressure is supplemented through the six direct interconnections with the Pinellas County water system. With regard to required pumping capacity, Chapter 62-555.320(15) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: (a) Un/ess a/evated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity of a booster pumping station, shall be sufficient to: 1. Meet at /east the water system's, or the booster station service area's, peak- hour water demand (and if fire protection is being provided, meet at /east the water system's, or the booster station service area's, design fire-f/ow rate p/us a background water demand equivalent to the maximum-day demand other than fire-f/ow demand); and Z. Maintain a minimum gauge pressure of 20 pounds per square inch throughout the water system's, or the booster station service area's, distribution system up to each customer's point of connection to the distribution system. (b) Where elevated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of a// high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity 12 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment.

C. /n addition, the total capacity of the high-service pumping stations, or the capacity of the booster pumping station, combined with the useful elevated finished-water storage capacity sha// be sufficient to meet the water system's, or the booster station service area's, peak-hour water demand for at /east four consecutive hours (and if fire protection is being provided, sha// be sufficient to meet the water. system's, or the booster station service area's, design fire-f/ow rate p/us a background water demand equivalent to the maximum-day demand other than fire-f/ow demand for the design fire-flow duration). As noted above, the City's total water storage capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Because pumping capacity is related to achieving sufficient storage capacity, improvements to the City's pumping capacity is warranted. The Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment notes that possible solutions include distribution system pipe modifications, addition off booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.13 Distribution System The City of Clearwater's water distribution system includes more than 776 miles of water main, 40,000 water meters, 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 5,445 backflow devices. As shown in Map 4, the water distribution system effectively covers all lands within the City of Clearwater, including the unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves. (The Parsons Report includes did not include a summary and assessment of the distribution system. Do we have any additional data to include here? Is there any distribution system inventory by pipe size and classification? 13 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation.

Distribution Lines 23 Potable Water Element City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Reclaimed Water System The City of Clearwater currently operates a reclaimed water system to ensure that adequate water is available today and in the future and that the City's residents have high quality water at an affordable price. The use of reclaimed water helps the City to preserve high quality potable water sources by providing a reliable and economical alternative source for irrigation water. Use of reclaimed water for irrigation can benefit the City because every gallon of potable water not used for irrigation is one less gallon of water purchased from Pinellas County. This has the potential of significant potable water savings .given the escalating costs of purchasing water from Pinellas County.14 The City's reclaimed water system is the result of cooperative funding by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the City of Clearwater.15 The City's reclaimed water system is shown on Map 5 and includes 51 miles of reclaimed water main. At present, reclaimed water service extends to the Countryside Country Club Golf Course and driving range, Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Course and the soccer fields on McMullen Booth Road in the Countryside area, which are fed from the Northeast Treatment Plant. The Northeast Treatment Plant will also serve the reclaimed projects on the east side of Clearwater: Drew Union, Del Oro, Morningside, and Skycrest. The Marshall Street Plant feeds Jack Russell Stadium, Pier 60 Park, Coachman Park as well as 1,400 customers on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. In 2004, reclaimed water became available to the Harbor Oaks Area of Clearwater. This area also receives it supply from the Marshall Street Plant. Approximately 2,000 customers are now provided reclaimed water, with a current consumption in the range of 2 to 2.5-mgd.. . The City of Clearwater is currently designing the Skycrest Reclaimed Water Project which will include an east/west interconnection, pumping and storage facility. This interconnection will complete the loop within the City, resulting in both sides of the City being connected for future expansion of our reclaimed program.16 14 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

INTRODUCTION Four of Florida's five water management districts have determined that traditional water supply sources currently used in their districts will not be sufficient to meet the demands of the growing population and the needs of the environment, agriculture and industry over the next twenty years. Only the Suwannee River Water Management District has concluded that its traditional water supplies will be sufficient to serve the district's needs over the next twenty years. As potential limitations on the continued use of traditional water supplies became increasingly apparent in recent years, the Florida Legislature enacted bills in 2002, 2004 and 2005 to more effectively address the state's water supply needs by improving the coordination between local land use planning and water supply planning. The focus of the 2002 legislation was to add requirements to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (F.S.), for local governments to prepare 10-year water supply facilities work plans and to incorporate the work plans into their comprehensive plans. This legislative change emphasized the need for local comprehensive plans to consider the applicable regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts. In 2004, the Legislature further amended Chapter 163 to give local governments until December 1, 2006, to prepare the 10-year water supply facilities work plans. In 2005, the Florida Legislature significantly changed Chapters 163 and 373, F.S., to improve the coordination of water supply and land use planning. Senate Bills 360 and 444 strengthened the statutory linkage between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts and comprehensive plans prepared by the local governments. Implementation of the new water supply planning requirements will ensure that adequate water supplies and public facilities are available to serve the water supply demands of Florida's growing population. This Guide has been prepared to help local governments understand their responsibilities under current law with regard to water supply planning. It addresses the scope and content of the comprehensive plan amendments required to comply with the current provisions of Chapter 163, F.S., the data and analysis that local governments must provide to support the amendments, the sources of information available to local governments, and the deadlines for adopting the required amendments. In addition to this Guide, a second technical assistance document (Recommendations for Preparing Water Supply and Facility Data and Analysis to Support Local Comprehensive Plan Amendments) has been prepared to explain the water supply and facilities data and analysis that should be included with comprehensive plan amendments submitted for review to the Department of Community Affairs (Department). The Recommendations will soon be available from the Division of Community Planning and will be posted on the Department's website (www.dca.state.fl.us). - Page 3 of 28 Pages - B. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS With regard to water supply, current statutory provisions direct each local government to: 1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water management district's regional water supply plan. [s. 163.3177(4)(a), F.S.] 2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon the availability of adequate water supplies and public facilities and services. [s. 163.3177(6)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005.] Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted to the Department for review. The submitted package must also include an amendment to the Capital Improvements Element, if necessary, to demonstrate that adequate public facilities will be available to serve the proposed Future Land Use Map modification. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new devel- opment no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing a certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier prior to approving a building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies will be available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate of occupancy. [s. 163.3180(2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005.] This "water supply concurrency" is now in effect, and local governments should be complying with the requirement for all new development proposals. In addition, local governments should update their comprehensive plans and land development regulations as soon as possible to address these statutory requirements. The latest point at which the com- prehensiveplan must be revised to reflect the concurrency requirements is at the time the local government adopts plan amendments to implement the recommendations of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report. 4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element"), within 18 months after the water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to: a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the local government from projects identified in the updated regional water supply plan, or the alternative project proposed by the local government under s. 373.0361(7), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, bulk sales agree- ments, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current and future water use demands within the local government's jurisdiction [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and c. Include a water supply facilities work plan for at least a 10-year planning period for constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new -Page 4 of 28 Pages - development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] Amendments to incorporate the water supply facilities work plan into the comprehensive plan are exempt from the twice-a-year amendment limitation. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] 5. Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water supply, reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five-year period. 6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan(s) or, in the absence of an approved regional water supply plan, the applicable District Water Management Plan, as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s. 163.3177(6)(d), F.S.] If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years, the plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing and projected water use demand for the established planning period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s. 163.3167(13), F.S.] 7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with applicable regional water supply plans and regional water supply authorities' plans. [s. 163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.] Address in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), the extent to which the local government has implemented the 10-year water supply facilities work plan, including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine whether the identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands. [s. 163.3191(2)(1), F.S.] C. OVERVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY PLANNING REQUIREMENTS Effective July 1, 2005, all local governments must meet water supply concurrency requirements and ensure that their future land use plans (the Future Land Use Element and Future Land Use Map) are based upon the availability of adequate water supplies and associated public facilities. [See Paragraphs B.2.-3. above.] All local governments are advised to update their comprehensive plans and land development regulations as soon as possible to address the water supply concur- rency requirement. [See Section E below.] Data and analysis to demonstrate that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities are (or will be) available to meet projected growth demands must accompanYall proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted to the Department for review. [See Recommendations for Preparing Water Supply and Facility Data and Analysis to Support Local Comprehensive Plan Amendments.) -Page 5 of 28 Pages - 2. Local governments subiect to a regional water supply plan must revise their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its update, to ensure that: a. The Infrastructure Element identifies alternative and traditional water supply projects, and conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet the projected water demands identified within the local government's jurisdiction; incorpo- rates the alternative water supply project(s) the local government has selected from the regional water supply plan or proposed as an alternative under s. 373.0361(7)(b), F.S.; and includes a minimum 10-year work plan for building public, private, and regional water supply facilities necessary to serve existing and new development. b. The Capital Improvements Element addresses the need for and location of public facilities, including those identified in the 10-year water facilities work plan. The financially feasible Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements must describe projects listed in the 10-year work plan that are to be imple- mented in the first five years of the plan, including both publicly and privately funded water supply projects that are necessary to ensure that adopted level- of-service standards are achieved and maintained. [s. 163.3177(3)(a)5., F.S.] c. The Conservation Element includes an assessment of current and projected water needs, and sources for a minimum 10-year period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan and consumptive use permit. If the established planning period of the comprehensive plan is greater than ten years, the assessment must address the water supply needs and sources for the longer planning period. d. The Intergovernmental Coordination Element addresses coordination of the comprehensive plan with the applicable regional water supply plan(s) and regional water supply authorities' plans. For local governments that lie within more than one water management district, the due date for adopting the amendments is 18 months from the approval date of the last regional water supply plan (or update) applicable to the local government. See Attachment A for a map depicting areas that are subject to regional water supply plans. Attachment B identifies the dates by which,amendments to local comprehensive plans must be adopted to incorporate the 10-year water supply facilities work plans. See Attachment C for an overview of regional water supply plans. 3. Local governments that are not subiect to a regional water supply plan (see Attachment A) must address the following in their next Evaluation and Appraisal Reports (EARs) and adopt the necessary EAR-based amendments to ensure that: -Page 6 of 28 Pages - a. The Conservation Element identifies the current and projected water needs and sources for a minimum 10-year period, considering the appropriate district water management plan, consumptive use permit and associated water supply assessment reports. If the established planning period of a comprehen- sive plan is greater than ten years, the assessment must address the water supply needs and sources for the longer planning period. b. The Intergovernmental Coordination Element addresses coordination with regional water supply authorities, where the local government is served by a regional water supply authority. See Section F for additional information about addressing water supply issues in Evaluation and Appraisal Reports. D. PREPARING THE WORK PLAN Work Plan Objective: Local governments subject to a regional water supply lan must prepare a minimum 10-year work plan for building public, private, and regional water supply facilities to serve existing and new development within the local government's jurisdiction and adopt the work plan into the comprehensive plan within 18 months after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its. update. The work plan and the comprehensive plan amendment must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements, and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year planning period. In areas where local governments rely on regional water supply author- ities or other public or private water suppliers to provide all or a portion of the community's water supply, the work plan must contain information about the provider's water supply and infrastructure plans and the local government's own water supply and infrastructure needs (i. e., address each utility that provides water and infrastructure within the local government's jurisdiction). 2. Adoption Deadlines: Each local government must determine the date by which its work plan and comprehensive plan amendment must be adopted (see Section C and Attachment B of this Guide). The local government must then determine the date by which it must transmit the proposed work plan and plan amendment in order to adopt the fmal work plan and amendment by the scheduled due date. The work plan amendment is exempt from the twice-per-year amendment limitation. [s.163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] 3. Coordination with Water Management Districts: When preparing the work plan, the local government should coordinate with the water management district regarding population and water supply demand projections, areas to be served, the use of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements, and water conservation and reuse strategies necessary to meet projected demand. Local governments must base their population projections on the mid-range population projections prepared by the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Busi- -Page 7 of 28 Pages - ness Research, unless the local government has been specifically approved by the Department of Community Affairs to use an alternative professionally approved methodology. Projections of water demand must be based upon a professionally accepted and applied methodology. The local government should identify one person at the water management district as apoint-of-contact for information and assistance. A single point-of-contact will greatly facilitate coordination between the local government and the district. Close coordination between the parties can help avoid questions or concerns that could otherwise surface when the district reviews the proposed work plan and the comprehensive plan amendment. Districts' regional water supply plans are prepared for 20-year planning horizons and include water use demand projections for 5-year increments, such as 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2025. In developing the work plan, the local government should consult with the appropriate water management district(s) to determine the feasibility of using compatible planning increments to facilitate the sharing of consistent data. 4. Coordination with Water Suppliers: In addition to coordinating with the water management district, each local government should also work closely with local water utilities that supply water to the community. This could be a city or county water department, the water utility of another local government, a private water supplier, a regional water supply authority or some combination thereof. After identifying the water supplier(s) that serve the community, the local government should request the designation of a single point-of-contact to assist with prepara- tion of the work plan amendment. Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S., encourages local governments, public and private utilities, regional water supply authorities, special districts, and water manage- ment districts to cooperatively plan for multijurisdictional water supply facilities, including the development of alternative water sources to supplement traditional sources of ground and surface water. Planning for the use of multijurisdictional water supply facilities on a countywide or multi-county basis is recommended, especially for the development of alternative water supply sources. Cooperative water supply planning can avoid non-productive competition for limited water resources and conflicts over future service areas; promote equitable cost-sharing in the development of alternative water supply projects; and promote water reuse programs between local governments. Many small developments, such as trailer parks and condominiums, are self- supplied or serviced by small public supply systems. These small utilities should be inventoried and reported in the data and analysis submitted with the proposed work plan, but need not be considered part of the local government's 10-year water supply work plan due to their limited development potential. 5. Define Extent of Responsibility: Each local government should determine the -Page 8 of 28 Pages - extent to which it plans to be involved in the planning, financing, construction and operation of the water supply facilities that will serve the community, whether the facilities will be provided by a local government utility, a regional water supply authority, or another public or private water supplier. Local government involve- ment can range from none to total control of the withdrawal, treatment and distri- bution of potable water and reclaimed water. The local government must address all of the water supply treatment distribution facilities, and bulk sales agreements that are Manned by all entities providing service within its jurisdiction, regardless of ownership or responsibility for the individual facilities. It, must also address any infrastructure or water supply, including bulk sales, that it will provide outside its own jurisdiction and any current and future water conservation activities. 6. Information to Obtain from Water Suppliers: The following information should be obtained from all water suppliers serving the local government: a. The current consumptive use permit (CUP) number, authorized average and maximum daily water withdrawals under the CUP by source, any applicable source limitations, required alternative water supply projects and/or conser- vation and reuse projects, and the CUP expiration date for the listed sources, as well as water supply commitments made through bulk sales agreements. b. Projected demand for each applicable water use category for at least a 10-year planning period. The local government's projected demand, the water suppliers' projected demand, and the water management district's projections for areas served should be in agreement. c. A map that shows existing and future areas to be served by each water supplier. d. Identification of existing and planned fixture water sources. The source(s) of water identified by each supplier should correlate with those described in the regional water supply plan, including the alternative water supply projects to be implemented: Each local government should coordinate with the water management district regarding the ability of the water supplier to meet the projected need, particularly with respect to water sources, source limitations, and the use of appropriate water conservation and reuse strategies. Identification of water supply facilities needed to serve the agreed-upon projected need. f. If another local government is a water supplier, verify that its 10-year work plan identifies the sources and facilities needed to meet the recipient govern- ment's projected needs - in addition to the supplier's other water supply commitments -for the area served. -Page 9 of 28 Pages - 7. Information to Include in the Work Plan: The work plan should be a planning document based upon information relevant to each local government's unique circumstances. The recommended format and level of detail for the work plan should be similar to the Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, and Storm- waterManagement Sub-Elements that currently comprise the local government's Infrastructure Element. Data and analysis; goals, objectives, and policies; and a fmancially feasible five-year schedule of capital improvements should be included. The work plan should address the following water supply and water supply facility issues: o Water supply projections for at least the next 10 years; if the comprehensive plan has a longer planning horizon, projections should cover that time frame; o An assessment of the traditional (current) water sources and whether they will be adequate to meet the projected demand; o If alternative water sources will be needed to meet projected demand, coordination with the water management district to identify and include the alternative water supply projects the local government will implement; o An identification of the water conservation and reuse programs that the local government will expand or implement and a determination of how much of the future water demand will be offset by those programs; o A determination of when alternative water supply projects, water conserva- tion and reuse programs will be implemented and how much they will cost; o An identification of the capital improvements projects to be implemented in the first five years of the plan, including both publicly and privately funded water supply projects necessary to achieve and maintain adopted level-of- service standards, and a financially feasible Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. The fmancial feasibility of privately funded projects must be demonstrated by enforceable development or interlocal agreements. The work plan should also include a general description of the water supply projects and infrastructure needs for the long-term planning time frame; e If the local government relies on a service provider, a demonstration (by data and analysis) that the local government has coordinated with the service provider to ensure that its short- and long-term water supply needs will be met (i. e., reserved capacity, CUP allocations, source limitations, bulk sales, interlocal agreements, timing of capital improvements, periodic updates, and concurrency coordination); and o An identification of the goals, objectives, and policies that will be needed to implement the work plan and water supply concurrency requirements. -Page 10 of 28 Pages - To address the water supply and water supply facility issues described above, the work plan should include the following specific information: a. Data and Analysis (1) An inventory of all potable and reuse water service providers within the jurisdiction of the local government, including small public supply sys- tems, reuse providers, and significant non-potable (e.g., commercial and industrial users, golf courses, etc.) water service providers. Describe the extent to which the local government is (or plans to be) involved in the planning, financing, construction or operation of the facilities that will supply water within its jurisdiction, even if the facilities will be provided by regional water supply authorities or other public or private water suppliers. The local government's involvement can range from none to total responsibility for the withdrawal, treatment and distribution of potable water and reuse water. (2) Geographic service area maps for the potable and reuse water service providers and indications of whether the areas depicted are different from the actual area(s) currently served. Composite maps of potable and reuse service providers should be provided, if possible. Self-supplied and similar small public supply systems can be shown as points, if necessary. To evaluate areas for future water service expansion and reuse, indicate where private wells and septic systems are used and will continue to be used. (3) The term "water supply facilities" includes all infrastructure necessary to withdraw water from its source and to transport, treat and distribute the water, together with any associated storage facilities. For each potable water service area, other than those of the self-supplied and similar small public supply systems; identify the existing facilities, including the general location of existing and planned water wells and intake points from sur- face water sources, treatment and storage facilities, and distribution mains. For each reuse service area, identify treatment and storage facilities and distribution mains. (4) Information on the design capacity of the production and treatment facilities, the current demand on the facilities, the geographic area served, and relevant consumptive use permit conditions and duration. If the local government is not responsible for all the listed water supply facilities, identify the responsi- ble entities by service area and describe existing and proposed agreements for any aspect of potable or reuse water service delivery, including agreements with other local governments, public and private utilities, regional water supply authorities, special districts, and water management districts. (5) An identification of conservation and reuse practices and regulations, including those that apply only to particular service areas. -Page 11 of 28 Pages - (6) A determination of future needs for each service area, other than those of the self-supplied and similar small public supply systems. Provide the following information for the base planning year and for the next 5-year and 10-year increments, plus any additional increments necessary to cover the entire planning period established in the comprehensive plan: (a) Population and water demand projection figures for all water use categories, comparable to those used in the development of the applicable regional water supply plan, for that portion of its juris- diction located in the service area. (b) A facility capacity analysis noting capacity surpluses and deficiencies and consumptive use allocations for each facility, and including relevant information for each facility, such as capacity in average daily flow and maximum daily flow, and relationship to permitted flows, treatment and distribution losses, and current commitments for water supply. The following tables illustrate a convenient format for comparing projected demand, facility capacity and permit conditions. Table 1 reveals the need to increase permitted withdrawals to accommodate anticipated growth and system expansion. Table 2 shows one way to portray a situation where the permitted allocation is unlikely to be expanded due to source limitations and a deficit is avoided by planning to purchase raw water from an adjacent supplier. Please note that additional information relevant to each local government's situation may need to be included in the calculations, such as bulk sales, treatment and distribution losses, and currently committed water supplies.

Identify the amount and timing of water supply expected to be produced by each project. (d) Identification of current and prospective conservation and reuse prac- tices and regulations that will be utilized to meet projected demand. Identify those that apply jurisdiction-wide and those that apply only to particular service areas or specific water users. Provide an estimate of the reduction in water use attributable to conservation and reuse allowed as an offset in the CUP. (e) Identification of current or prospective participation in any county-wide or other multijurisdictionalp1anning initiatives to meet future water supply needs, including the development of alternative water supplies. (f) Facilities maps showing the location of water sources (wells and surface waters), storage facilities (in-ground and above-ground), and the extent of the distribution. system. The maps should be at a scale and level of detail appropriate to the local government's situation. For example, it would be impractical to depict the smallest lines serving individual customers in a county. For a small city, however, that information may be readily available and easily displayed. Maps depicting the location of water distribution mains should be included. -Page 13 of 28 Pages - b. CanitalImprovements (1) The work plan's data and analysis should identify and discuss the capital improvements required to build all public, private, and regional water supply facilities to serve the existing and new development within the local government, even if the local government is not responsible for the improvements. If a local government is a service provider, the data and analysis should identify the capital improvements that will be needed to serve existing and planned development within the utility's service area. (2) All capital improvements that will be provided by a water supplier other than the recipient local government should be identified in the data and analysis, but only those publicly and privately funded projects necessary to serve development in the next five years must be included in the recipient local government's Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. (3) A local government that is a water supply provider will need to identify (in its financially feasible Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements) the capital improvements for water supply projects and other water supply infrastructure needed in the next five years. Funding provided through an interlocal agreement, or by private contributions through an enforceable development agreement, must be referenced in the schedule of capital improvements to demonstrate fmancial feasibility. Interlocal and develop- ment agreements should address the cost of the capital improvement, the funding source, the entity responsible for funding and constructing the improvement, the populations to be served, and the construction time line. Privately funded projects must also be included in the schedule if the local government intends to rely on those projects to achieve and maintain adopted level-of-service standards when approving new development. To demonstrate fmancial feasibility, committed funding sources must be identified for the first three years of the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. Committed or planned revenue sources can be identified for years four and five. If the local government intends to use planned revenue sources that require referenda or other actions to secure the revenue source, the plan must (in the event the referenda are not passed or required actions do not occur) identify other existing revenue sources that will be used to fund the capital projects or otherwise amend the schedule to ensure fmancial feasibility [see Sections 163.3164(32) and 163.3177(3)(a)5, F.S.]. (4) Local governments do not need to demonstrate that funding is currently available or will be available through planned revenue sources to address water supply projects needed beyond the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. Instead, strategies should be included in the comprehen- siveplan policies that identify the funding programs that the local govern- ment intends to utilize to address those future needs. The programs may include a plan for new funding sources. -Page 14 of 28 Pages - (5) For more information about capital improvements planning, interested readers are referred to the Department's technical assistance report, A Guide to the Annual Update of the Capital Improvements Element. The report is available from the Division of Community Planning and posted on the Department's website (www.dca.state.fl.us). c. Goals, Objectives, and Policies Local governments should review their comprehensive plans to identify the goals, objectives and policies (GOPs) that address water supply sources and facilities, as well as conservation and reuse programs. Typically, these GOPs will be located in the following plan elements: Future Land Use, Infrastructure (particularly the Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer Sub-Elements), Conserva- tion, Capital Improvements, and Intergovernmental Coordination. The work plan should include an assessment of current GOPs and identify any new or revised GOPs needed to implement the work plan. The following list of issue areas where new or revised GOPs maybe appropriate is based on the comprehensive plan requirements in Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The list is provided as an example of issues that may need to be considered. Each local government will need to develop its own list of issues to be addressed through new or revised GOPs, based on the work plan and its supporting data and analysis. (1) Coordination of land uses and future land use changes with the availability of water supplies and water supply facilities; (2) Revision of potable water level-of-service standards for residential and non- residential users; (3) Provision for the protection of water quality in the traditional and new alternative water supply sources; (4) Revision of priorities for the replacement of facilities, correction of existing water supply and facility deficiencies, and provision for future water supply and facility needs; (5) Provision for conserving potable water resources, including the implemen- tation of reuse programs and potable water conservation strategies and techniques; (6) Provisions for improved or additional coordination between a water supply provider and the recipient local government concerning the sharing and updating of information to meet ongoing water supply needs; -Page 15 of 28 Pages - (7) Coordination between local governments and the water supply provider in the implementation of alternative water supply projects, establishment of level-of-service standards and resource allocations, changes in service areas, and potential for annexation; (8) Coordination of land uses with available and projected fiscal resources and a fmancially feasible schedule of capital improvements for water supply and facility projects; and (9) The need for additional revenue sources to fund water supply and facility projects. 8. Adopting the Work Plan Into the Comprehensive Plan As described in Section 7 above, the format of the work plan is like that of a "sub-element," similar to the Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer Sub-Elements included in the Infrastructure Element of most local comprehensive plans. The sub-element format -with its data and analysis, list of capital improvements, and GOPs incorporated as sub-sections within the Infrastructure Element - is the recommended format for the work plan. A five-year schedule of capital improvements for water supply and infrastructure projects could be adopted as part of the Infrastructure Element, or those projects could be included in the Capital Improvements Element's Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. Other alternatives for incorporating the work plan into the comprehensive plan include: a. Incorporating the work plan as a set of GOPs, exhibits or attachments in the Infrastructure Element and making related GOP changes in other elements, with a five-year schedule of capital improvements either as part of the Infrastructure Element or incorporated in the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements located in the Capital Improvements Element; b. Including the work plan data and analysis, GOPs, and five-year schedule of capital improvements in the various elements of the comprehensive plan (e.g., Future Land Use, Infrastructure, Conservation, Coastal Management, Inter- governmental Coordination, and Capital Improvements Elements). If this option is utilized, the local government should identify where the various portions of the work plan are located in the comprehensive plan; or c. Adopting the work plan by reference in a policy of the Infrastructure Element. This option is not recommended, however, because the comprehensive plan would have to be amended each time the work plan is revised, including any revision to sections that would not otherwise require an amendment to the comprehensive plan. -Page 16 of 28 Pages - E. ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN All local governments must revise their comprehensive plans to address water supply concurrency and to ensure their Five-Year Schedules of Capital Improvements are financially feasible. In 2005, s. 163.3180(2)(a), F.S., was amended to add water supply as a concurrency requirement. The 2005 legislation also revised s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S., to require the future land use plan be based on the availability of water supplies and public facilities, and added a definition of "financial feasibility" [x.163.3164(32), F.S.]. The following section provides guidance for addressing requirements associated with concurrency and the financial feasibility of the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. See Paragraphs B.2. and C.1. for requirements associated with changes to the Future Land Use Element. 1. Water Supply Concurrence: The local government's concurrency management system will require revision to formalize the consultative process between the local government and the water supplier. The GOPs that establish the local govern- ment's concurrency management system and the land development regulations that implement the concurrency management system could, for example, be revised to require the local permitting entity to request and obtain from the water supplier a written statement regarding the availability of water to serve a proposed project. Such a statement should clearly identify the available water supply for all existing and proposed water demands, consistent with the supplier's consumptive use permit and the applicable regional water supply plan. 2. Annual Updates to the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements: All local governments must annually update their Five-Year Schedules of Capital Improvements to maintain financial feasibility. Annual updates should include water supply development projects for which the local government is responsible, including reuse facilities and the development of any alternative water supply projects; new potable water facilities .and upgrades; and all other publicly and privately funded capital improvement projects needed to achieve and maintain adopted level-of-service standards for the next five years. For any privately funded project that will be paid for through individual developer contributions, an executed (and enforceable) agreement must be provided as data and analysis and referenced in the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to demonstrate that financial feasibility requirements have been met. An amendment to the compre- hensive plan is required to update the schedule on an annual basis or to eliminate, defer, or delay the construction of ariy facility listed in the five-year schedule. . F. EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORTS All local governments, including those within the Suwannee River Water Management District, must address water, supply planning in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process and subsequently adopt amendments based on the EAR fmdings. In addition, local governments subject to a regional water supply plan must also address the extent to which they have implemented their 10-year water supply facilities work -Page 17 of 28 Pages - plans and identified water supply projects necessary to address the water needs identified in the applicable regional water supply plan. The two sets of requirements are described below. For additional guidance regarding EAR requirements, please see the Department's website at http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fdcp/dcp/EAR/index.cfrn. 1. In the EAR process, local governments that are not subject to a regional water supply plan, including those in the Suwannee River Water Management District, must: a. Update the comprehensive plan to identify the capital improvement projects needed within the next five years and within the minimum ten-year planning horizon to ensure the availability of potable water supplies and infrastructure to meet the anticipated residential and non-residential demands for those two planning periods. The identification of capital improvements should include the water supply projects, the infrastructure improvements for the treatment and delivery of potable water, and the water conservation and reuse projects to be implemented to meet projected demands. Any capital improvements projects needed in the first five-year period must be included in the fmancially feasible Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. b. Update the Conservation Element to include an assessment of current and projected water needs and sources for at least aten-year period, considering the applicable District Water Management Plan and consumptive use permit. If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years, the plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing and projected water use demand for the established planning period. [s. 163.3167(13), F.S.] Update the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to address cooperative efforts with other local governments, public and private utilities, regional water supply authorities, special districts, and water management districts with regard to potable and reuse water service delivery. Any local govern- ment that relies on a regional water supply authority for its water supply must review this element to determine if coordination with the regional water supply authority has been addressed. If not, the comprehensive plan must be revised to address this requirement. The requirements for data and analysis and goals, objectives, and policies outlined in Rule 9J-5.015, F.A.C., for the preparation of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element can be used to address this requirement. 2. In the EAR process, local governments that are subject to a regional water supply plan must: a. Address items l.a. through l.c., above. b. Indicate the extent to which the local government has implemented the work plan for building public, private and regional water supply facilities, including the development of alternative water supplies, to meet local water use needs identified in the Infrastructure Element. -Page 18 of 28 Pages - c. Indicate the extent to which the local government has been successful in identifying alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and conservation and reuse programs to meet the water needs identified in the applicable regional water supply plan. d. Based on the evaluations described in paragraphs b. and c. above, update the comprehensive plan to include new or revised programs and activities to address any shortcomings in the implementation of the water supply facilities work plan, including the development of alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements, and the implementation of conservation and reuse programs to meet current and future needs. -Page 19 of 28 Pages - ATTACHMENT A Map of Regional Water Supply Planning Areas i _- --- ,- ~ ~ ~ ~O~II~~'~' ~ ~ ~~~E~f~~f1 ~S ~` ~~ a ~` ~ ~~ ~f -Page 20 of 28 Pages - ATTACHMENT B Due Dates for Work Plan Amendments The following local governments are located in the Northwest Florida Water Manage- ment District's Region II Water Supply Planning Area.

The map in Attachment A depicts the areas of the state for which RWSPs have been prepared. A RWSP includes a 20-year projection of future population and associated water supply demands, as well as an identification of water supply projects that could meet those demands. The RWSP is intended to provide the framework for future water supply decisions in areas where existing and reasonably anticipated sources of water and conservation efforts may not be adequate to provide for. all existing legal users and reasonably anticipated future needs, while sustaining water resources and related natural systems. For planning purposes, water use is separated into six categories: agriculture; public supply; domestic self-supply (including small public supply systems); commerciaUindustrial and mining/dewatering; thermoelectric power production; and recreational irrigation. The RWSP identifies potential sources of water capable of meeting projected demand and options for developing those sources. Typical sources include (1) new groundwater wellfields; (2) increased use of reclaimed water; (3) storage reservoirs; (4) surface water withdrawals; (5) aquifer storage and recovery; (6) reverse osmosis/desalination; and (7) conservation. The RWSP includes planning-level analyses for each of these potential sources of water to quantify available water supplies, identify project development options, and estimate costs associated with water supply development. The RWSP identifies potential.water supply development projects, including conservation, reuse, traditional, and alternative water supply projects that will exceed the needs projected by the district. The RWSP also estimates the associated costs for developing the projects. The water supply projects identified in the RWSP represent a "menu" of possible options from which each identified local government, government-owned and privately owned utility, self-supplier or other entity may choose to address its water supply needs. The individualized project options are provided as reasonable concepts that water users in the region can pursue through water supply planning. Water users may also propose specific alternative water supply projects for inclusion in the regional water supply plan. If the water management district determines that the proposed projects meet the goals of the plan, they will be included in the approved regional water supply plan. Additionally, the plan provides information to assist water users in developing funding strategies to construct water supply devel- opment projects, and the inclusion of a specific alternative water supply project in the plan indicates that state and water management district funding assistance maybe available for the project. Each RWSP is to be updated at least every five years. Local governments should consult with their respective districts to obtain the latest and most detailed information available. -Page 24 of 28 Pages - ATTACHMENT D Sources of Information and Contacts Data and Information Sources: 1.

Within one year of the receipt of this notification, section 373.0361(7)(b), F.S. requires you to provide the District with written notification of the following: • Which of the water supply options identified in Chapter 6 of the RWSP your entity has developed or intends to develop, • An estimate of the quantity of water to be produced by each project, and • The status of project implementation, including: financial planning, facilities master planning, permitting, and efforts in coordinating or participating in multijurisdictional projects. This information is required to be updated annually and a progress report provided to the District by November 15 of each year (373.0361(7)(b), F.S.) and should be sent to the District Planning Department at the Brooksville address above. ~. The Honorable Frank Hibbard Page 2 May 14, 2007 If your entity does not intend to develop one or more of the project options in Chapter 6 of the RWSP, you are required to, within one year of this notification: e Propose another alternative water supply project or projects sufficient to address the needs identified for your entity in the RWSP, o Provide an estimate of the quantity of water to be produced by the project(s), and e Describe the status of project implementation including: financial planning, facilities master planning, permitting, and efforts in coordinating or participating in multijurisdictional projects. Another statutory requirement calls for each local government in the planning region to adopt amendments to its comprehensive plan within 18 months after the approval of the RWSP (the RWSP was approved on November 30, 2006, so the deadline is May 30, 2008). Per section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S. such amendments must: o Include a 10-year Water Supply_Facilities Work Plan, o Incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the local government from those identified in the RWSP or proposed by the local government, and . e Identify such alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, conservation and reuse necessary to meet the water needs identified in the RWSP for the local government. In addition to the specific water supply options identified for your entity, we would like to emphasize the water conservation options detailed on pages 142-149 of the RWSP. These proven techniques can help water supply utilities reduce current water use and future demands. Cost information is provided to demonstrate the affordability of water conservation in contrast to more costly altemative water supply options. Water conservation and the reuse of reclaimed water are essential components of the RWSP and should be pursued by all water suppliers in the planning region. The District is prepared to provide assistance to local governments and other entities as they plan and develop water supply projects, including conservation and reuse, to meet current and future water use demands. We believe the updated RWSP provides a solid foundation for such coordination. In addition to technical assistance, the District may provide partial funding for eligible alternative water supply projects. If you would like to obtain a copy of the RWSP or discuss its findings and recommendations, please contact the District's Planning Department at (352) 796-7211 extension 4400, or planning~a watermatters.org. We look forward to working with you in planning for future water supply needs. Sincerely, ~~ ~ % David L.

INTRODUCTION According to Florida Administrative Code section 9j-5.01 1, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to assure that necessary public facilities and services correlate to future land use projections. Furthermore, the purpose of the Potable Water Element is to identify capital improvements and establish goals, objectives and policies that will ensure the City of Clearwater is able to supply quality drinking water of a sufficient quantity for current and future needs. The Potable Water Element focuses on the existing systems and facilities and projected system needs based on projected population growth and future land use in the City of Clearwater. This is accomplished through an inventory and analysis of existing data, identification of present and potential problems and their solutions, and projection of future potable water needs for specific planning periods. The City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment, prepared in June of 2004, and the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan, prepared in October 2004, serve as the primary data sources for the existing conditions inventory and analysis. Both reports were prepared by Parsons Corporation. The composition of the Potable Water Element follows the minimum data requirements outlined in Section 9J-S.O1 1, F.A.C. For ease of reference, the Potable Water Element is organized into two major sections; the first outlines the Goals, Objectives and Policies relating to potable water and the second includes an ' Inventory and Analysis of the water system.

The following section details the existing conditions of the City of Clearwater's water system, with the purpose of identifying future water system needs. 1 3.1 Operational Responsibility The City of Clearwater Water Division is a municipally operated water supplier, charged with the responsibility of administering the City's water utility. In 2006, the City of Clearwater Water Division supplied more than 5.15 billion gallons of water to more than 140,000 customers, amounting to approximately 100 gallons of water per person per day. The division maintains 4,036 fire hydrants, 8,329 valves and 588 miles of water mains.' Users of the City of Clearwater water system consume approximately 13 million gallons of potable water every day. Approximately 37 percent is pumped from City owned and operated groundwater wells; the remaining 63 percent of the daily demand is supplied by water purchased from Pinellas County. Pinellas County also receives water supplied by the regional water supplier, Tampa Bay Water, which in turn becomes part of the 63 percent supplied to the customers of Clearwater.z 3.2 Geographic Service Area and Predominant Land Uses ' The geographic service area for the City's water system extends beyond the City limits and represents an area of approximatley 54 square miles in size. The majority of the customers beyond the City limits are located within unincorporated ' Pinellas County enclaves within the City of Clearwater. The boundaries of the water service area generally extend from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the City of Dunedin to the north, the City of Safety Harbor and Tampa Bay to the east, and the cities of Largo, Bellair, and Bellair Beach to the south.

August 200' for City of Clear~rater Nlater Supply Element. ~ W~ET~u~i ~' Potable Water Element 12 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the City of Clearwater is estimated to have a total population of 107,742 as of )uly 1 , 2006.3 However, the City's water service area extends beyond the City limits to include numerous unincorporated Pinellas County enclaves. Thus, to determine the population of the City's water service area, a broader figure that includes both the City population and enclave population must be utilized. Because it includes the City of Clearwater in addition to all interior county enclaves, the Pinellas County Planning Sector 6 closely matches the City of Clearwater's water service area. Therefore, population projections for Planning Sector 6, which have been calculated by the Pinellas County Planning Department, will be utilized for this Potable Water Element. I unt for ermanent seasonal and tourist Using the projections from Pine las Co y p , populations, the functional population of the water service area can be determined based on the following formula: Functional Population = ((permanent + seasonal? x 41 + (permanent x 81 + tourist 12 2 This formula is based on Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) rules with the purpose of making adjustments for seasonal residents and tourists.4 Once calculated, the t ~ functional population figure represents the value utilized to calculate the gross per capita water consumption for the City.

Potable 11Vater Element 14 1 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan The City of Clearwater is an urban and predominantly built-out city and features a diverse mix of land uses. Within downtown Clearwater, a dense mix of institutional, commercial, office, recreational and high density residential land uses are found. In addition to downtown, the Clearwater Beach area features a dense mix of land uses that include major commercial/resort destinations, high density residential developments, and recreational uses. Intensive commercial land uses, including regional commercial shopping centers are scattered along .the City's ' major transportation arteries, particularly Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and U.S. Highway 19. The majority of the rest of the City is dominated by well-established single- family neighborhoods, intermixed with supportive institutional and recreational uses. Map 2 shows the existing land uses found within the City of Clearwater water service area. 3.3 Desi n Ca aci and Current Demand on Existin Facilities. 9 P tY 9 ' Water Wells and Treatment Facilities Potable water within the City of Clearwater is provided by 23 City-operated fresh water wells (19 active and 4 inactive) and seven interconnects with the Pinellas M County water system. Although it is currently not used, the City has access to the water system of the City of St. Petersburg though an emergency interconnect. The City's water wells are located in close proximity to three treatment and storage facilities: Reservoirs Nos. 1, 2, and 3. The interconnects to the Pinellas County system are found at various locations in the City: Reservoir No. 2; Reservoir No. 3; along Belcher Road near the intersections with Drew Street, Gulf-to-Bay (SR 60), and Belleair Road; and at South Sand Key.S The locations of the various water supply facilities within Clearwater are illustrated on Map 3. Pinellas County water is purchased by the City of Clearwater through an intergovernmental agreement as a means to augment the City's groundwater sources and to meet the City's water demands. In the 2002 water year, an average of 1 1.5-mgd of water was purchased by the City from Pinellas County. In the Fail of 2003, after a reverse osmosis treatment facility was implemented at Reservoir No. 1, the City was able to reduce the amount of water purchased from the County by a net of 2-mgd.6 e City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment.

More specifically, the City water sources are 23 groundwater wells, while Pinellas County potable water is obtained from two different sources: Tampa Bay Water's regional water system; and fresh water from Eldridge Wilde wellfields. Tampa Bay Water is a local wholesaler providing water to six local governments in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Multiple sources contribute to Tampa Bay Water's regional water supply; these include groundwater and surface water from around the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and saline water from Tampa Bay. A summary of the daily production rates for the three reservoirs is provided in Table 2. The table also details the relative production provided by the City and the production provided by Pinellas County. Table 2 Summary of Daily Productions by Source d~ -.

The values reflect the addition of a reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 1, which, at the time of the preparation of the Water System Assessment (Clearwater Water Master Plan), was expected to reduce the amount of water purchased from Pinellas County by a net of 2-million gallons per day (mgd) on a long term basis. The average daily demand for potable water within the City of Clearwater water service area totals 13-mgd, of which 63 percent is provided by Pinellas County and 37 percent is provided by the City's wells. According to the City's water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the City is allowed to pump a maximum of 6.25-mgd from its wells. Potable 1Alater Element 18 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' Reservoir No. 1 is located on Palmetto Street near Saturn Avenue and consists of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, a single 5 million gallon (mg) storage tank, 1 chloramination facilities for disinfection, and a high service pumping station. Reservoir 1 utilizes 3.6-mgd of raw groundwater to produce 3-mgd of treated potable water. The Reverse osmosis plant uses 2.6-mgd of water to produce 2.0- mgd of permeate which is blended with 1.0-mgd of pre-treated by-passed water, attaining a total of 3-mgd of potable drinking water. Feed water to the plant ' comes from 10 active wells (Well Nos. 23, 31, 48, 65, 66, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 81). Production from Well 81 is limited due to the need for a sand pack to prevent sand ' from entering the well. ' Reservoir No. 2 is located near the intersection of US 19 and Drew Street and consists of a single 5-mg storage tank, chloramination facilities, and a high service pumping station. Feed water to the plant comes from 3 active wells (Well Nos. 45, 46 and 53). Two additional inactive wells are also connected (Well Nos. 51 and 52). Water from the wells can vary but typically provide on average 0.6 mgd. Also on- ' site is an interconnect with Pinellas County that provides on average 1.5-mgd.

The three elevated storage tanks ' are identified and located as follows: Del Oro, located near the intersection of McMullen-Booth Road and Drew; Martin Luther King, located near the intersection of Bellevue Blvd. and Martin Luther King; and Otten Street, located near the i intersection of Otten Street and Highland Ave. At the time of the preparation of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment (June 2004), the three elevated storage tanks were valved-off due to water stagnation issues and degradation of water quality. However, the City has since placed the Martin Luther ' King and Otten Street tanks back into service in order to maintain an adequate level of service and for additional emergency storage capabilities.~~ With regard to the total capacity of drinking water sources and treatment facilities, Chapter 62-555(6) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: The total capacity of all water sources and treatment facilities connected to a water system shall at least equal the water system's design maximum-day water demand ' _ (including design fire-flow demand if fire protection is being provided). ' In total, the City has a storage capacity of 23-mgd provided by the four 5-mgd storage tanks at Reservoirs 1, 2 and 3 and the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks. However, at the time of the Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment ,the City's total storage capacity was estimated at 20-mgd, not calculating the capacity of the elevated storage tanks because of their stagnation and water quality issues. In addition to the City's own storage capacity, Pinellas County provides the City with some storage capacity through the interconnections. However, the exact amount of storage capacity available to the City through Pinellas County is unknown.>> Based on the Water System Assessment report, the City's design maximum-day potable water demand is estimated at 19-mgd. At 20-mgd, the City's current ' storage tank capacity is sufficient to achieve potable water design maximum-day ~~ City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation.

However, the Water System Assessment noted that this total capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. For this reason, and as noted above, two of the three 1-mgd elevated storage tanks were put back into service, but several modifications to the distribution system were recommended in the assessment to increase overall capacity, including distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.12 ' Pumping Facilities High-service pumps are found at each of the City's three reservoirs to ensure distribution system capacity and pressure. These pumps ensure that water under ' sufficient pressure is delivered from the wellheads to the various storage and treatment facilities and then into the distribution system. Additionally, system capacity and pressure is supplemented through the six direct interconnections i with the Pinellas County water system. ' With regard to required pumping capacity, Chapter b2-555.320(15) of the Florida Administrative Code states that: ' (a) Un/ess e/evated finished-drinking-water storage is provided, the total capacity of al/ high-service pumping stations connected to a water system, or the capacity of a booster pumping station, shall be sufficient to: 1.

As noted above, the City's total water storage capacity may be inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Because pumping capacity is related to achieving sufficient storage capacity, improvements to the City's pumping capacity is warranted. The Clearwater Water Master Plan Water System Assessment notes that possible solutions include distribution system pipe modifications, addition of booster pump stations, and addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks.13 Distribution SLrstem The City of Clearwater's water distribution system includes 574.6 miles of water main, 40,000 water meters, 4,050 fire hydrants, 8,330 valves and 7,500 backflow devices, Approximately 48% of the water mains of the City are 6 inches in diameter while almost 20% are 8 inches. Table 3 displays the distribution of water mains in the system. In 2006, the City of Clearwater completed the implementation of 17 phases of a 20-Year Plan to upgrade the pipes of the distribution system. With this implementation, the City eliminated "cast iron" and undersize lines improving the system to satisfy future demand.

The use of reclaimed water helps the City to preserve high quality potable water sources by providing a reliable and economical alternative source for irrigation water. Use of reclaimed water for ' irrigation can benefit the City because every gallon of potable water not used for irrigation is one less gallon of water purchased from Pinellas County. This has the potential of significant potable water savings given the escalating costs of purchasing water from Pinellas County.14 The City's reclaimed water system is the result of cooperative funding by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the City of Clearwater.15 The City's reclaimed water system is shown on Map 5 and includes 51 miles of reclaimed water main. At present, reclaimed water service extends to the Countryside Country Club Golf Course and driving range, Chi Chi Rodriguez Goif Course and the soccer fields on McMullen Booth Road in the Countryside area, which are fed from the Northeast Treatment Plant. The Northeast Treatment Plant will also serve the reclaimed projects on the east side of Clearwater: Drew Union, Del Oro, Morningside, and Skycrest. The Marshall Street Plant feeds Jack Russell Stadium, Pier 60 Park, Coachman Park as well as 1,400 customers on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. In 2004, reclaimed water became available to the Harbor Oaks Area of Clearwater. This area also receives it supply from the Marshall Street Plant. Approximately 2,000 customers are now provided reclaimed water, with a current consumption in the range of 2 to 2.5-mgd. The City of Clearwater is currently designing the Skycrest Reclaimed Water Project which will include an east/west interconnection, pumping and storage facility. This interconnection will complete the loop within the City, resulting in both sides of the City being connected for future expansion of our reclaimed program.16 14 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

In December 2007, the City of Clearwater re-evaluated its Reclaimed Water Master Plan (2001) that includes a 20-year schedule for reclaimed water extensions. Table 5 provides a summary of the reclaimed water projects prioritized in this ~, study for the next 13 years: 1 1 Table 5 Reclaimed Water Master Plan, December 2007 113+7 • • - 2007 Skycrest 2008 Chautauqua- Coachman Ridge 2008 Morningside 2009 Palmetto-Glen Oaks 2010 Clearwater Harbor 2011-2020 Resident Initiated/Large Users/Wholesale Costumers Source: City of Clearwater. Reclaimed Water Master Plan Re-Evaluation, 2007 3.4 Level of Service The existing Clearwater Comprehensive Plan has established the following Level of Service standards to be used in determining the availability of facility capacity and demand created by new development: i 20 gallons per capita per day at a pressure of 40-45 psi. Potable water level of service is measured based on the rate of potable water consumption on a per person basis. This method of measurement provides an indicator of the demand placed on the potable water system and allows for tracking improvements in potable water conservation measures. As the rate of consumption decreases, the rate of success of potable water conservation measures increases. Based on the current potable water supply of 13-mgd allocated across the water service area's 2005 functional population of 146,832, the demand for potable water per capita per day is 88.5 gallons. This rate of demand is well within the adopted level of service. Potable Water Element 28 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.5 Facility Capacity Analysis As highlighted in Table 2, the City of Clearwater's production is limited to 6.25 `' mgd from local potable water resources and is supplemented by purchase of potable water through an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County to meet demands in excess of what is locally produced by the City. Rated/permitted capacity at the City of Clearwater three Water Reservoirs /High Service Pump Stations is 25 mgd with pumping capable of meeting instantaneous peaks in excess of 31 mgd. The current inter-local agreement between Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater was signed on September 2005 and it is valid through September 2030. The agreement states that the County agrees to furnish up to 15 mgd yearly average of water (treated) for its use and for distribution in its water service area.» As stated previously, the City of Clearwater's water system is estimated to have an average daily demand of 13.90-mgd. This is based on a functional population estimate of 146,832 for the water service area, and assumes a demand of 90.5 gallons per capita in addition to 610,000 gallons per day for significant water M1 users.18 The estimated average daily demand of 13.90-mgd also takes into account the planned future land uses of the City of Clearwater. Taking into consideration the agreement between the City and the County, the City is using only 51 percent of its available capacity of treated water for consumption. The estimated demand of 13.90-mgd does not account for the reduction in potable water demand resulting from the City's reclaimed water system. Therefore, 15 and 25 percent water reuse offsets have been applied to the total demand, resulting in an average daily demand of 13.69-mgd or 13.55-mgd, respectively.19 Table 6 provides the projected annual average daily demand for the City of Clearwater water system during the initial 5-year planning increment through 2010. The table also provides the annual average daily demand considering a 15 and 25 percent offset for water reuse based on the functional population. Without the offsets provided by the reclaimed water system, the average daily demand is projected to increase to 14.05-mgd by 2010.

TM Given that the City is almost completely built-out, significant population growth and the conversion of large undeveloped lands to urban use is not expected. The City's population is expected to increase only slightly, while the City's current distribution of land use is planned to be maintained generally in its present state. Rather, the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan focuses on redevelopment efforts throughout the City, particularly within downtown Clearwater and the Clearwater Beach area. Table 7 provides the projected annual average daily demand for the City of r Clearwater water system during the remaining planning period, 2011 through 2025. By 2025, the water system service area is projected to have a functional population of 150,871, resulting in an annual average daily demand of 14.26- mgd. However, considering a conservative 1 5 percent offset for water reuse, the average daily demand would actually decline to 12.10-mgd by 2025.

Data Source 2016 through 2025: Based on functional population data from Table 1 and a continuation of the method utilized by the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan. Taking into consideration the permitted City's capacity to pump from its wells of 6.25 mgd, the governance agreement with Pinellas County that allows purchases of treated water up to 15mgd, and the projected reuse offset (1 5-25%), it could be concluded that the City of Clearwater has sufficient quantity of treated water available to the City to support the projected growth. Potable Water Element si City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.6 Performance and Condition of Existing Facilities An assessment of the performance and condition of existing facilities was conducted as part of the City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment, prepared in 2004. The assessment revealed that a variety of corrective measures are necessary to maintain existing levels of service. These recommended corrective measures are outlined below. Well Pump Corrosion Currently, corrosion in the vertical turbine pumps used at each raw water production well requires the periodic replacement and maintenance of the pump 1 shaft and pump bowl assembly. Because this maintenance process is difficult and labor intensive, it is recommended that stainless steel submersible pumps be utilized instead. The stainless steel construction of the submersible pumps helps i to minimize corrosion, extending the useful life of the pumps.21 Standby Power Requirements ~, Chapter No. 62-555 F.A.C. states that each community water system shall provide standby power for operation of the water source, treatment, arid pumping facilities necessary to deliver drinking water meeting all primary and secondary standards to meet the average daily demand for the system. The raw water production wells feeding Reservoir 7 are not currently provided with an auxiliary power source as needed to achieve compliance with Chapter 62-555, F.A.C. Two alternative corrective measures were evaluated: installation of a permanent generator or the purchase of portable generators. In the end, portable generators to serve the production wells were chosen as the preferred alternative given the cost savings. According to the Water System Assessment, backup generators with sufficient capacity are available to serve the treatment and storage facilities at Reservoirs 1 and 2, but not Reservoir 3. Therefore, the study recommended that the existing generator be replaced with a larger generator to handle the current load. 2, City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Water System Assessment. Parsons Corporation. June 2004. Potable 1Mater Element 32 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Control and Monitoring Improvements In order to make control and monitoring of the City's water system centralized, it is recommended the City install the necessary Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment at existing facilities to allow communications with 1 the new network installed at Reservoir No. 1. This includes control and monitoring of Reservoirs Nos. 2 and 3, raw water wells and Pinellas County interconnections. For Reservoir Nos. 2 and 3, the raw water wells, and county interconnects, the Water System Assessment recommended that a radio telemetry system be established to enable effective communications between system facilities. At the county interconnects, it was recommended to add a remotely operated valve to open or close the interconnects. Storage Improvements As stated previously, the City's three elevated storage tanks face water stagnation issues with the potential result of degradation to water quality. At the time of the Water System Assessment, the storage tanks were valved-off. Additionally, the Water System Assessment noted that the City's storage tank capacity may be ~, inadequate to achieve fire-flow demand. Therefore, the study recommended the elevated storage tanks to be placed back into service, restoring sufficient fire- flows to certain areas of the City. To alleviate the water stagnation issues at the storage tanks, recommendations were outlined that included the installation of a mixing system, an altitude valve, isolation valve and small booster pump station to force water out of the storage tanks. To increase fire-flow capacity, the Water System Assessment recommended the addition of inter-distribution system storage tanks in combination with distribution system pipe modifications. Pumping Improvements Improvements to the Cit 's um in facilities are also necessary to improve fire- Y P p 9 1 flows. The Water System Assessment indicates that the current high service pumps are deficient in meeting fire-flow levels in some areas of the City. Therefore, additional booster pump stations are recommended in conjunction with distribution system pipe modifications. Potable VI/ater Element 33 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan 3.7 Issues and Opportunities for Expansion and New Facilities One of the major goals of the City is to increase self sufficiency in water supply to control future costs. Presently, the City purchases approximately 8 million gallons of water from Pinellas County at a cost of approximately 7 million dollars per year. 1 Over the years, wholesale water rates have increased and are projected to continually rise. To accomplish increased self sufficiency, the Capital Improvement 1 Plan portion of the Water Master Plan outlines numerous projects involving the expansion of existing water production facilities or the construction of new water production facilities. Limited Source Water Opportunities The City of Clearwater is uniquely located between the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay in an area that has relatively low rates of aquifer recharge. This results in limited quantities of fresh groundwater, and subsequently, limited opportunities to expand source water production. Source water quality continues to degrade due to increased chloride levels caused by pumping of wells in excess of long term safe yield capacities, but within existing water use permitted quantities.z2 ~' Chloride Cap Restriction One of the greatest challenges in increasing capacity for existing production wells and the construction of new production wells is the Southwest Florida Water Management District's chloride cap of 250 mg/L. This chloride cap level is intended to serve as a guideline in evaluating trends and controlling the effects of wellfield withdraws on groundwater quality. In order for the City to proceed with new and sustainable water resources as outlined in their Capital Improvement Plan, the chloride cap must be increased. To provide the necessary evidence to support an increase in the chloride cap, the City 1 is planning to undertake a Chloride Monitoring Well Study. The first phase of this study will examine the effects in the vicinity of Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3, as the impact of this cap will limit the water production from these facilities first. In a later phase, a similar study will be initiated in the vicinity of Reservoir 2 and south r 2s City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

Potable 1Nater Element ~ City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan - of Guif-to-Bay to support the development of a new reverse osmosis facility at Reservoir No. 2.23 i Feasible New Groundwater Sources As part of the Capital Improvements Plan, the Water Master Plan identifies three improvement projects aimed at increasing water supply that are economically ' viable as well as technically feasible during the planning period. These three projects include: e Development of an additional 1-mgd of fresh groundwater supply and associated wells and transmission mains to connect to Reservoir No. 3; ~ e Development of an additional 1-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 1 by means of adding an additional 1.25-mgd of raw groundwater supply and expansion of the reverse osmosis facility; and, e Development of an additional 3.5-mgd of production capacity at Reservoir No. 2 by adding an additional 4.25-mgd of raw groundwater F supply, transmission mains and a new, low-pressure reverse osmosis facility. As stated previously, these projects are partially dependent upon an increase to the SWFWMD's imposed chloride cap. However, even if the effort to raise the cap is unsuccessful, the proposed new production wells for Reservoir Nos. 1 and 3 are still recommended to be developed and permitted. The development of these wells ' would increase the rotational capacity, maximize production, rest existing wells, and allow for chloride levels to subside. 3.8 Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge The natural drainage features within the City of Clearwater water system are shown on Map 6. As can be seen, the City is located between the seawater bodies of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. Freshwater water bodies within the City include Lake Bellevue, Crest Lake, Alligator Lake, Beckett Lake, Lake z3 City of Clearwater Water Master Plan, Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan.

To the north of the City, Lake Tarpon is a large freshwater resource. According to the Southwest Florida Water Management District over 84 percent of all water used within the District's boundaries emanates from groundwater resources. The deepest and most productive aquifer within the District is the Upper Floridan, which also is found underneath the City of Clearwater.24 In the Clearwater area, the Upper Floridan aquifer contains a relatively thin layer of fresh r groundwater underlain by a transition zone of brackish water, which increases in chloride and dissolved solids concentrations with depth until seawater concentrations are reached.25 The Upper Floridan is a productive aquifer, supplying more than ten times the amount of water pumped from the two other aquifer systems found in the Water Management District. In the northern portion of the District, the Floridan aquifer is readily recharged by rainfall (greater than 10 inches per year), and is most highly productive. In central Pinellas County, the Floridan i aquifer features a recharge rate of 1 to 10 inches per year.26 3.9 Existing Regulations and Programs Relating to Natural Drainage and Groundwater Recharge " Future protection and use of water resources is a public service for which long- range comprehensive planning is mandatory. The primary threats to groundwater 1 in the Clearwater area are saltwater intrusion via overdraft and contamination. When groundwater recharge exceeds withdrawal, there is a potential for saltwater to move inward from coastal areas, ultimately affecting the quality of the available groundwater. Additionally, contamination from injection and drainage wells, fertilizers, storage tanks, and other sources affect the quality of groundwater. Both overdraft and contamination are risks that can be reduced via careful regulation. The Southwest Florida Water Management District is the primary regulator and program administrator relating to natural drainage and groundwater recharge. z^ Southwest Florida Water Management District.

' Potable Water Element ~ 37 City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' The City of Clearwater is contained within the boundaries of several SWFWMD water supply programs, including:27 Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Resource Assessment Project (WRAP) was initiated by the district to assess water availability, including minimum flows and levels, in order to support water resource recover, water use permitting, and environmental resource permitting. Both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County provide input ' to the technical projects performed by the District. Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area (WUCA) The Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area sets water use permit (WUP) for the area, including additional conservation requirements such as reuse. Public supply permits within the WUCA limit per capita water use demands to 150 gallons ' per person per day. Any utility not meeting these numbers has strict timeframes -and guidelines to implement this limit. The City of Clearwater is not using its ' entire permitted allocation of groundwater from the Upper Floridan aquifer although it is anticipated that its utility will eventually grow into its unused M quantity to meet future demand. For example, the City of Clearwater's brackish R.O. facility is permitted to withdraw 6.3 mgd of brackish groundwater, although the City has been withdrawing an average of 3 mgd28. The City of Clearwater has been and is actively participating in SWFWMD's efforts to prioritize recharge areas within the Upper Floridan aquifer recharge area. ' Tampa Bay/Anc%te River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Project As part of SWFWMD's continuing efforts to ensure the coordination of local governments' planning practices regarding water supply management, SWFWMD has developed the Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Program in coordination with local governments to conduct water resource assessments and ' planning on a watershed rather than district-wide basis. The City of Clearwater is in the Tampa Bay/Anclote River Comprehensive Watershed Management (CWM) Area. This area encompasses all of Pinellas County and parts of Hillsborough and ' Pasco Counties or approximately 566 square miles. The Tampa Bay/Anclote River '' Southwest Florida Water Management District, 2005 District Water Management Plan. '8 Southwest Florida Water Management District, 2005 District Water Management Plan. Potable Water Element 3s City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan ' CWM Plan was last adopted in 2002. The 2006 SWFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan requires updates to the CWM Plan in which Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater will be invited to participate. i 3.10 Capital Improvement Projects Appendix A presents the list and budget for several potable water projects to be completed from FY 2007-2008 to FY 2012-2013.
