Director Pinto commented that one of the problems we have <br />had even with our master plan is the question of capacity in the <br />City treatment plant. We are not sure what capacity the City <br />has, and now the City has indicated they are not sure either. <br />However, we can't take the position that we have to stop <br />development in the south county. Director Pinto felt what the <br />City may not understand is that the construction of the line from <br />the City plant along the Boulevard and south on U.S.I is one that <br />is being designed to handle the existing flow that goes into the <br />City plant, and any additional flow up to whatever capacity, but <br />our design is such that the entire flow going into the City will <br />be able to be reversed and taken south into a south county plant, <br />possibly the GDC plant, if we have to purchase that, or we are <br />prepared to build whatever is necessary to take care of the needs <br />in the South County. The master plan indicates that engineering - <br />wise, it may be best to look at whether the city ever wants to <br />expand their facility, but the county still is a bit bothered <br />about the absence of re -use of effluent, and we simply don't have <br />the luxury of waiting much longer to determine what the City's <br />final capacity is. We have to proceed with the construction of <br />the force main as indicated in the master plan. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed it is our common goal to maximize <br />the use of the capacity of the City's plant, and emphasized that <br />we want to continue to use whatever capacity is made available by <br />the City. <br />City Manager Little noted that he was just concerned that if <br />the county continues as they seem to be at present, the City <br />plant would be over -committed. <br />Director Pinto confirmed that there is no question in our <br />minds that the development of the South County far exceeds the <br />total capacity of the City plant; so, the master plan indicates <br />certain possibilities. We are going to proceed with a South <br />County wastewater plant, and the ultimate capacity will be <br />determined by what flow the City wants to keep. <br />NOV 12 1988 <br />L. <br />15 <br />Boor 75 P E 207 <br />
