City Manager Little expressed concern about the time frame, and Director Pinto pointed out that first the City has to give us numbers on their capacity and then we can give them a time. He advised that he is prepared to go to the County Commission immediately to start planning for a plant, and reiterated that the line is being designed so the flow can be turned around. Discussion ensued re possibilities of interconnection, and Director Pinto advised that we will tie in to the Vista Royale plants to have something as backup in case of a shut down. City Water & Sewer Manager Hillman Goff advised that the average daily flow into the City plant at present is 3 million gallons, and they have committed permits out right now for 1.625 million gallons, which exceeds their plant capacity. Director Pinto advised that the county flows are around 500-600,000 gallons, and City Manager Little stressed that they are saying please don't rely on those 600,000 gallons because they believe the areas they have taken over on the Beach as part of the old Tripartite Agreement will produce more flow than anyone anticipated. Mayor Macht discussed the possibility of allowing some temporary capacity, and Director Pinto then brought up the 400,000 gallons dedicated to the Hospital. The county has lines right in that area, and he asked if it wouldn't make sense to take that Hospital flow and put it in the nearest treatment plant and then put the needs of the South County which are nearest the South County plant in that plant. City Manager Little advised that the Hospital flow is about 200,000 gallons, and Director Pinto asked if the City is notifying the Hospital there is no more capacity. City Manager Little stated they are not because there is an agreement on that, and he felt the argument as to where the Hospital flow goes is a legal matter between the City Attorney and the County Attorney.
