Utilities Director Terry Pinto advised that he would move <br />through the report very quickly, and then if the Board wishes to <br />take some time to digest it, staff could come back and address <br />any questions. <br />OVERVIEW OF UTILITIES <br />To allow continued, orderly growth in Indian River County, the <br />County is faced with several major decisions within the next few months <br />concerning providing utilities. <br />Utilities water, wastewater, and solid waste - are the most <br />complex of all types of infrastructures that are required. Each <br />element is very dependent on the other. When a decision is made to <br />expand or provide wastewater facilities, it also means the expansion of <br />sludge treatment, effluent disposal and, many times, the water <br />treatment facilities. The same decision also requires the construction <br />of sewer lines, force mains, effluent lines, lift stations, and water <br />mains. After all the facilities are built, the utility has to be <br />operated and maintained. The operation of a utility is very complex <br />and highly regulated, requiring expertise in a multitude of <br />disciplines, ranging from financing to treatment plant operation. <br />When the treatment facilities are in operation, they have a direct <br />impact on the solid waste operation, as the disposed sludge will be a <br />major ingredient of any composting operation. The solid waste must be <br />separated.and all yard waste treated independently with the sludge. <br />The County, through the Health Department, has the responsibility <br />to regulate the disposal of septage and grease from septic systems and <br />grease traps. An order was issued by the Department of Environmental <br />Regulation to discontinue the dumping of septage at the landfill. <br />OCT 2 'WW 58 <br />
