Pinto REFERENCES: <br />Utility Services Director <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />The Town of Indian River Shores has approached us inquiring if the County <br />would be interested in a joint ventre study on supplying non -potable water <br />for Wabasso Beach area south to Indian River Shores. - <br />As you may know, water from the shallow aquifer is now being pumped for <br />irrigation from Wabasso mainland to John's Island beach area. <br />I believe it would be in the best interest of the County to pursue such a <br />study so that we may be assured that the water supply is managed for the <br />North County region. It is imperative that the County monitor any water <br />withdrawal that may affect future availability of water. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />The purpose will be to establish data on water needs and availability and <br />also to establish a scope of study and establish cost for the Board's <br />consideration. <br />RECO�NENDATION : <br />I would recommend that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the <br />Administration and Utility Staff to meet with the St. John's River water <br />Management District and Indian River Shores. <br />12 <br />
