13.C. CWS.D <br />OMMISSIONER ESLEY AVIS <br />13.C.1. RCRM <br />EQUEST FOR ONSIDERATION OF ECOMMENDATIONS ADE BY THE <br />AAC <br />GRICULTURAL DVISORY OMMITTEE <br />Commissioner Davis asked Chairman of the ACC, Robert Adair, to discuss the <br />Committee’s recommendation regarding reuse water for agricultural purposes outside the urban <br />service area. <br /> <br />Mr. Adair told the Board that it was important to lessen the County’s use of deep <br />water from the Florida Aquifer. He mentioned that during periods of drought and freeze, due to a <br />diminishing of artesian pressure, the denser saltier water lying deeper in the aquifer starts to come <br />towards the surface. He thought it was important to provide another source of water (reuse water) <br />in order to sustain agricultural operations outside the County. He encouraged the Board to listen <br />to the recommendations made by the Indian River Soil and Water Conservation District <br />(IRSWCD) as outlined in the letter provided to the Board (see page 144 of the backup). <br /> <br />The Commissioners posed several questions to staff regarding reuse water, the cost, <br />and the use for agricultural purposes. <br /> <br />NO BOARD ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN <br /> <br />13.D.
