PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS MANUAL FOR WATER AND <br />WASTEWATER SYSTEMS <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/26/85: <br />TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF <br />COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: 1 TO,�DIRECTOR <br />UTILITY SERVICES <br />DATE: NOVEMBER 26, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: <br />FROM: RONALD R. BROOKS, ENVIRONMENTAL <br />AX <br />ENGINEERING SPECIALIST, UTILITY <br />SERVICES <br />BACKGROUND AND CONDITIONS <br />PERMITTING AND CONSTRUC- <br />TION SPECIFICATIONS WATER <br />AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS <br />The County's current water and wastewater franchising process provides for <br />the review and permitting of the design, construction, and operation of <br />water and wastewater systems in Indian River County. However, we currently <br />have no printed permitting guidelines or procedures; and although we do <br />have material and construction specifications, they are long overdue for <br />updating. <br />We also do not have current printed guidelines for the review and per- <br />mitting of the design and construction of expansions of the County operated <br />utilities. Further, there is an increasing desire by residents within <br />established subdivisions to obtain County water service and we have only a <br />limited program for the expansion of our County systems into such sub- <br />divisions. <br />ANALYSTS <br />The County is in dire need of a well organized program for the expansion of <br />our own utilities and the review and approval of the construction and <br />operation of the water and wastewater systems of the County franchised <br />utilities. A program should be established and outlined within a printed <br />manual that provides a detailed break down of the following: <br />1. Procedures for expansion County operated water and wastewater systems. <br />2. Procedures for the review and approval of the design, construction and <br />operation of expansions of County water and wastewater systems. <br />3. Procedures for the review and approval of the design, construction, <br />operation and expansions of the water and wastewater systems of fran- <br />chised utilities. <br />4. _ Updated minimum specifications on the materials, and the design and <br />construction of water and wastewater systems. These specifications <br />should include graphic displays of materials and construction proce- <br />dures as well as minimum or specific criteria on the materials to be <br />used in the construction of water and wastewater systems. <br />1 BOOK FAu V_LI <br />DEC 111985 <br />
