Mr. Little continued that all the package treatment plants <br />on the barrier island have been taken out of service, and the <br />City is serving the island from the south county line through <br />John's Island with the exception of Bay Tree; they also are <br />serving the City and the Hospital. With build -out beginning to <br />occur in those areas and in the City, we need to talk about where <br />we are going at the south end of the county. Grove Isle, for <br />example, wants to sign to hook up at the City treatment plant, <br />and he has gotten to the point where he is refusing those <br />applications because the numbers just don't work. Mr. Little <br />stressed that there are only 400,000 gpd of wastewater treatment <br />capacity available in the City's treatment plant on a permanent <br />basis. He felt Director Pinto came up with an excellent idea <br />when he pointed out that while County needs flow in the North <br />County wastewater plant, the City certainly doesn't, and this led <br />to the arrangement that the City would take the Hospital, but <br />would send the Hospital effluent (about 200,000 gpd) to the <br />County's north treatment plant for processing; and by the same <br />token, the City then allow an additional 200,000 gpd, over and <br />above the 400,000 gpd, to come to the City Plant. There will be <br />no billing - simply you treat and we treat. This shifting gives <br />the County flow in the north and frees up capacity in the south <br />which the County can use, and it doesn't affect the City one way <br />or the other. There was some talk that in order to make further <br />capacity available out of the City plant at the south end, we <br />wondered if the City could come all the way down to lift station <br />in front of the Presbyterian Church on Royal Palm Boulevard and <br />divert that flow north to the County plant on an interim basis <br />and free up more capacity. Staff is looking at that option now. <br />The tough problem is the interim period of time between now and <br />1996 when it is hoped to get a plant on line at the south end, <br />and there are some gpds that could be used on a temporary basis. <br />City Manager Little stressed that what the City would ask is <br />that the County move quickly to do whatever is necessary to give <br />7 <br />APR 2019 9 <br />RooK 76 FAGS 663 <br />
