M General Development Utilities, Inc., in May 1993, advised the County that it now wishes to sell its water and wastewater utility system located in the Vero Highlands/Shores areas. The Indian River County utility service area surrounds the GDU franchised area:The County utility system currently supplies water to GDU to provide water service to the franchised area. The County's policy has been to acquire such privately -held utilities and to expand its regional and subregional water and wastewater facilities. Acquisition of this system will assist the County in implementing this policy. As of December 31, 1992, the GDU system served approximately 1,393 water equivalent residential units (ERUs) and 1,324 wastewater ERUs, with an additional 123 ERUs of water and 88 ERUs of sewer capacity reserved. The projected buildout of the project is 31724 ERUs. Analysis of Mys Current and Projected at Buildout The Wastewater Treatment Plant is designed for 850,000 gallons per day (GPD) capacity. It is operated as a conventional activated sludge plant with aerobic digester. The Department of Environmental Protection permitted capacity of the plant is 450,000 GPD, due to effluent disposal capacity. To increase the permitted capacity of the plant to the design capacity of 850,000 GPD will require an increase in the effluent disposal capacity. The projected costs for the facilities to increase the effluent disposal capacity are included in the revenue requirements for the system. The Wastewater Collection System consists of approximately 104,902 feet (19.86 miles) of 4"-16" pipe and nine lift stations as listed on page S-6 and 6(A) of the 1992 Annual Report (attached). The system data indicates that the wastewater collection system is installed to serve an additional 515 lots.
