Comprehensive Plan Potable Water Sub-Element <br /> <br /> <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 10 <br /> <br /> <br />• South County Service Area <br /> <br />Located on Oslo Road, the South County Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant began operating in <br />1981. That plant serves the South County Area. In addition to reducing chloride levels, the reverse <br />osmosis treatment process removes color and turbidity. The treated water then is disinfected before <br />distribution. <br /> <br />The Upper Floridan aquifer is the source of water for the South County Reverse Osmosis Water <br />Treatment Plant. At the water treatment plant site, six wells provide raw water for the treatment <br />plant, while a raw water piping system transports the untreated water to the treatment facility. The <br />South County Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant has a total capacity of 7.50 MGD, although it <br />is currently operating at approximately 6 MGD. <br /> <br />Within the South County Service Area, principal water lines are installed along the following roads: <br /> <br />- the SR 60 corridor from 53 rd Avenue to 102nd Avenue; <br />- 58th Avenue from Oslo Road to S.R. 60; <br />- 90th Avenue from SR 60 to 8th Street; <br />- 43rd Avenue from SR 60 to 13th Street, Southwest; <br />- 27th Avenue from 12th Street to 12th Street, Southwest; <br />- 20th Avenue from 12th Street to the St. Lucie County Line; <br />- the US 1 corridor from the Vero Beach City Limits to the St. Lucie County Line; <br />- 16th Street from 43rd Avenue to 58th Avenue; <br />- 12th Street from Indian River Boulevard to 58th Avenue; <br />- 8th Street from Indian River Boulevard to 66th Avenue; <br />- 4th Street from Indian River Boulevard to 66th Avenue; <br />- 1st Street, Southwest from 58th Avenue to the South Relief Canal; <br />- 5th Street, Southwest from 58th Avenue to Lateral J canal; <br />- Oslo Road from 82nd Avenue to US 1; <br />- 13th Street, Southwest from 58th Avenue to 9th Avenue, Southwest; and <br />- others. <br /> <br />Those principal lines branch out into smaller lines that serve smaller geographic areas such as <br />subdivisions and development projects. Within the South County Potable Water Service Area, those <br />smaller lines extend to most subdivisions.
