<br />Director Olson added permits must go through the St. Johns River Water Management <br />District’s process of review. They will determine if there is a problem. There is no intention to <br />expand the southern well field system. The Director wanted to make clear the buildings are only to <br />contain reverse osmosis components and that the department looked at the models and there is no <br />danger. <br /> <br />Vice Chairman Wheeler questioned whether the growth would affect our well fields. <br /> <br />Director Olson confirmed on the basis of what was being planned on the six new wells, he <br />saw no immediate impact on the horizon. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bowden knew there was a pressure problem with the water and felt major <br />discussions were needed before the ramifications of an uneducated vote were understood. <br /> <br />Director Olson wanted to give updates occasionally to give an assurance the right things <br />are being done. <br /> <br />Bob Keating, Community Development Director, explained the legislature mandated all <br />local governments prepare a Public Supply Water Plan. Utilities will provide data to form the <br />water supply plan. The Public Water Supply Plan must be completed by 2008. <br /> <br />Renee Renzi <br />, Waverly Place, Vero Beach, wanted this Commission to hold the line as they <br />did previously years ago when the County was asked to help supply water to a large development <br />in north St. Lucie County. <br /> <br />There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />May 23, 2006 <br />14 <br /> <br />
