Smith stated that whatever arrangements the County can work out, their planning now is to accept two million gallons per day from the County at no cost, but the County will have to get it to them. They will continue to take it almost in perpetuity, but will expect the County to share in the costs to help distribute it at a later date Mayor Smith asked about the allocation to the three golf courses on the barrier island, and Mr. Curren of Boyle Engineering advised that the Moorings uses one quarter of a million, Riomar uses one-half million, and John's Island one million. Mr. Little estimated that the power plant itself may use as much as 500,000 gallons of effluent a day, and effluent will be used on the landscaping on the power plant, annex, and the post office. In addition, they will pipe effluent down the median of Indian River Boulevard, at least within the City limits, and down to the Merrill Barber Bridge access road. Where they are trucking in water now, they will use effluent and that will probably take 1-mgd; the balance then will be going to the barrier island. Mr. Little explained that they have looked at a number of scenarios, but they probably will be recommending a sub -aqueous crossing at the Barber Bridge and taking the main line down through Riverside Park and Memorial Island Park and then down Iris or one of those streets to AIA. It probably will be a 24" line rather than a 20" line. He didn't feel that would change the acceptance of the 2 million gallons that they have told the County they could accept. Director Pinto felt that if,the City makes a crossing at the bridge, it should be sized to the anticipated maximum flow. He noted that while south county's plant capacity is figured at 4.5 million gallons per day, that wouldn't be reached for 15 years. Mr. Little pointed out that the problem in oversizing the lines is the front money. There is no problem in the City taking .1 800 �% FGE c3 J
