City of Vero Beach Sewer Service Area <br />The City of Vero Beach sewer service territory encompasses the City of Vero Beach, most of the <br />Town of Indian River Shores (one multiple -family residential complex is excluded), and the <br />portion of the barrier island south of the City of Vero Beach. In addition, it serves some of the <br />unincorporated county area around the city. <br />The Vero Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant has a design capacity of 4,500,000 GPD. The <br />method of treatment consists of complete mix activated sludge, followed by water reclamation <br />processes that include tertiary filtration and high level disinfection. Most effluent from this plant <br />is used for irrigation by golf courses and residential developments. During and immediately <br />after periods of extremely high rainfall, however, some effluent is discharged into the Indian <br />River Lagoon. Sludge disposal is by land application on agricultural properties for beneficial <br />reuse. <br />City of Vero Beach Plant <br />Public or Private <br />Public <br />Operating Entity <br />City of Vero Beach <br />Geographic service area <br />City of Vero Beach; Town of Indian River <br />Shores; South Barrier Island <br />Design capacity in GPD <br />4,500,000 <br />Current demand in GPD <br />3,500.000 <br />Level of Service <br />250 GPD/ERU <br />Projected facility needs <br />4,000,000 al./da (2030) <br />Effluent Disposal Method <br />Reuse/Wet Weather Discharge <br />Effluent Disposal Site <br />Residential Landscapes/Golf Courses <br />Level of Treatment <br />Secondary/High Level Disinfection <br />Treatment Method <br />Activated Sludge/Filtration <br />Screenings/Grit Disposal Site <br />Landfill <br />Sludge and Septage Disposal Site <br />Sludge facility at landfill <br />Table 3.A.2 summarizes the county regional wastewater treatment system. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 14 <br />
