Total Number of Possible Connections 3,398 <br />Total Existing 951 <br />Vested 2,150 <br />Nonvested 1,248 <br />Indian River County Planning Department also did preliminary figures and <br />came up with a slightly more conservative number for nonvested customers <br />of 1,140. This means you will be constructing a$7,200,000 water line <br />(a low estimate) to serve a possible additional 1,140 or <br />1,248 units. If we were to assess the project costs directly to those <br />who were in need of the water line, we would have, at the most, 1,248 <br />accessible units. <br />4. Based on consumption figures furnished by the City of Vero Beach, the average <br />water use of each residential unit is 19,000 gallons per month. This means <br />the initial impact of water demand on our water plant would be 800,000 <br />gallons ner day, causing us to expand the existing plant a lot sooner <br />thanexpected. This also calls for more funds to be expended. <br />S. The large increase in the debt outstanding to serve an additional 3,710 <br />customers could have a great impact on existing customers water rates. <br />6. The cost of servicing units presently not being serviced on south beach: <br />Present <br />Estimate <br />Construction ---------------------------6,030,000 <br />Engineering---------------------------- 300,000 <br />Finance-------------------------------- 8701000 <br />Cost of Additional Water Lines--------- <br />15%------------------------------------ <br />TOTAL----------------------------------7,200,000 <br />Units---------------------------------- 1,248 <br />Cost Per Unit ------------------------- 5,769.20 <br />This cost -per unit does not include impact fees. <br />Possible <br />Costs <br />6,030,000 <br />300,000 <br />870,000 <br />1,000,000 <br />949,500 <br />9,149,500 <br />1,140 <br />8,025.00 <br />As one can see, the alternative of a subaqueous crossing could be,a very <br />expensive undertaking for the customer, therefore, not in their best interest. <br />Alternative -2: <br />This alternative was to build a water plant on the Barrier Island. We had <br />Sverdrup and Parcel review this possibility and they found it to be an even <br />more expensive undertaking than the subaqueous crossing. <br />Alterantive 3: <br />As per our agreement with the City of Vero Beach dated September 16, 1981, <br />we have the option of transferring the existing water system to the City <br />of Vero Beach as soon as the construction improvements are complete. <br />RECONNENDATION: <br />We recommend alternative 3 which is the option of transferring the existing <br />water system to the City of Vero Beach as soon as the construction improve- <br />ments are complete. <br />29 <br />FEB 15 1984 X00" F PACE <br />
