EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />BOOK 90 FA^E 9P30 <br />In September of 1993 the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved <br />a negotiated purchase agreement with General Development Utilities (GDU). The purchase was <br />negotiated by the Indian River County Utility Department. GDU is located in the southeast <br />corner of the County (Figure ES -1) and provides wastewater treatment, effluent reuse, and water <br />distribution facilities for this portion of the County. Water was purchased from the County <br />through a bulk water agreement. <br />In conjunction with the Board approval of the GDU purchase in September, the preparation <br />of an addendum to the adopted Master Plan was also approved. The Board had adopted the <br />comprehensive Water, Wastewater, and Effluent Reuse and Disposal Master Plan in March of <br />1993. The area served by GDU was excluded from the master planning area because wastewater <br />treatment, effluent reuse and water services were already provided. With the purchase of the <br />GDU facilities the County determined that it was necessary to evaluate the impact of adding the <br />additional service area into the long _ term planning for the County's water, wastewater and <br />effluent reuse systems. <br />WATER DISTRIBUTION <br />The evaluation of the water distribution system not only considered the existing GDU water <br />distribution system, but also considered the entire County distribution system with GDU as an <br />element of that system. As was the case with the Master Plan the water distribution system was <br />evaluated to identify immediate improvements necessary to bring the system up to County <br />standards, and improvements necessary to meet future flow conditions (Year 2010). The water <br />demand projections developed in the adopted Master Plan were used for this evaluation; however, <br />the existing water demands were calibrated using actual water use records for GDU. <br />The following modifications to the water distribution system are required based upon the <br />analysis of the system: <br />Immediate Needs <br />1. Replace 6 -inch pipe with 8 -inch pipe in the Garden Grove development in the cul & <br />sac of 6th Avenue. This is required to meet max day flow plus fire flow conditions. <br />Future Needs <br />2. Install a distribution main on the north GDU boundary. This project was previously <br />identified in the adopted Master Plan and will be triggered by growth North of GDU. <br />W.\7763\REP0RT4D[ CSUMM ES -1 <br />38 <br />November 1993 <br />
