r JUS! 2 21990 BOOK 8.0 PAGE 455 2 mgd, but the thing we need to talk about today is that the County would have to deliver it to them already treated for use on residential.lawns and maintain their own wet weather discharge point. The City does not want to take that risk;they don't think they have enough room, nor do they want to spend the front money in their treatment plant to undertake the treatment of all of that. The County would have to bring the treated effluent to the intersection of Indian River Boulevard and 17th Street. Director Pinto emphasized that all the County is looking for is to bring the final product to the.City .for them and to know how much the City will be able to handle so we know how we will build our system. Carl Pease asked about the use of effluent on the vast area of citrus west of 43rd Avenue, and Commissioner Scurlock felt that any realistic, long-range arrangement with the AG people isn't going to happen because they are concerned with their market, as far -as the physiological aspect of it is concerned. Mr. Little discussed at some length the lines that the City plans to install on the beach and about the possibility of running effluent lines to private residences in the future. He agreed with Mr. Pinto's thinking that whatever the cost of deep well injection would have been, just the cost of deep well injection would have been levied against the wastewater customers that are generating the effluent. The treatment cost to get the effluent ready to put on residential lawns for unrestrictive use and the transmission and distribution costs to get it somewhere and delivered to the customer will be part of the effluent rate structure. That is pretty much what they will recommend to the City Council. Mr. Little reiterated that if the County brings 2 mgd treated effluent to 17th Street and Indian River Boulevard, the City will not require any upfront capital from the County, at least at this point in time. _ 6 I
