APR 2 0 i989 <br />BOOK 76 FA,E 668 <br />the east coast of Florida where plants are discharging into the <br />Indian River. They have already taken on Fort Pierce for this <br />and that has been going on for two years. The City of Vero Beach <br />has been noticed that they have some toxicity problems. The DER <br />is saying do something and they want the City to go to deep well <br />injection. Both the County and the City have looked at putting <br />effluent into the wetlands, but the DER doesn't want to allow <br />that. <br />Considerable discussion followed about the DER's require- <br />ments for going into existing wetlands being higher than for <br />creating a new wetland, and the City and County's objections to <br />deep well injection. <br />City Manager Little reported on the City's plans for having <br />an effluent line along A -1-A and making it available for all the <br />golf courses to use for irrigation. They will not branch off <br />A -1-A into residential; they will pick up the Moorings Golf <br />Course, the Riomar Golf Course, then will divert to go to the 52 <br />acre Riverside Park and make the irrigation available to the <br />Under the Oaks area, then on down to John's Island. Mr. Little <br />noted that all of the condos located right on A -1-A have separate <br />irrigations meters, and as soon as they satisfy the golf course <br />needs, they will take out those meters and disconnect them from <br />the potable water lines. He believed that they will run out of <br />supply long before they meet the demand for irrigation water. <br />In regard to the water system itself, Mr. Little advised <br />that they are doing a new 10 year study for transmission and <br />distribution, and the first thing they have to study is what <br />effect the providing of effluent for irrigation will have on <br />their potable water demand. They also have to take into <br />consideration the trading off of service areas and some of the <br />other alternatives that have been suggested, and if, in fact, by <br />some miracle they did have a 2 million gpd decrease in demand on <br />the potable water plant, then possibly they wouldn't need to <br />build an addition to the plant. They will took at everything to <br />12 <br />
