Under item 2, Director Pinto felt this was more important <br />than expansion because we are definitely going to have to do <br />something in the north county because the service area is <br />constantly growing from 1-95 to Sebastian. A $63 -million water <br />improvement program is being established which will fund a <br />mid -county water plant capable of treating 20 million gallons of <br />water a day. This plant probably will be built around Hobart <br />Road. If the City would have some need there, they might want to <br />consider combining it with one regional plant. <br />Administrator Wright recommended a joint venture on a plant <br />as he felt it would be beneficial to both and model it after the <br />electrical agreement. If the City Council and County Commission <br />have no objection, he advised that staff would like to proceed <br />with that and come back when they have something a little more <br />concrete. <br />Mr. Little noted that the City has had water impact fees for <br />a long time and has accrued quite a bit of money through that <br />means. He felt all these ideas are wonderful so long as they can <br />compete with the City's water schedule rates. Of course, the <br />consultants will be looking at all of this. <br />Administrator Wright felt that the reverse osmosis costs are <br />getting pretty competitive with the lime costs, and Director <br />Pinto stated that when the mid -county plant is built, it will be <br />interconnected with the south county system and then as the south <br />county plant reaches capacity, we will expand the mid -county <br />plant. Our systems will be connected at all times and we will <br />have water all around the City. <br />Mr. Little asked specifically when the County would be able <br />to give some relief to the City with respect to providing water, <br />and the years 1991 and 1992 were mentioned. <br />8 <br />MAY 13 1986 BOOK 6 F,�,c ,93 <br />I <br />
