MAY 2 3 1984 Bou 57 PACE 24 and the Vista treatment plant. We are bound presently by contracts with Vista Properties as to any connections into the Vista facilities, and also there is the question of capacity. Ther are two plants -Vista Gardens to the north and the Vista Royale plant to the south, and supposedly between the two plants, there is 100,000 gallons in excess capacity. Mr. Pinto doubted this because these plants have to reserve capacity for the building out of Vista Properties both residential and commercial. We can expand the facility however, and we presently have a consulting engineer doing a wastewater master plan. As other people come along and want to build treatment plants, Mr. Pinto believed it would be to our best interests to connect them into an existing plant. If there is not enough capacity, and we can make modifica- tions at their expense without jeopardizing the plant, he felt we should do so. He felt we could do this with the Vista Gardens plant, but believed we would have to negotiate with Vista Royale. Mr. Pinto reiterated that our policy is if we can get the capacity., we should allow connection. Chairman Scurlock's-main concern was how to set a policy to treat everyone equitably and fairly. He further noted that we told the Vista people we had no immediate plans to bring any other effluent into their plant, and Administrator Wright emphasized that was a true statement at the time. Utilities Director Pinto explained that statement came about when we were talking about connecting Treasure Coast and Ixora into either one of the plants. There was not enough capacity to connect both, and because we would have been taking customers from an existing system into an existing plant, there would have been no impact fees to generate the funds needed for the modifications that would have to be made. 78
