INTRODUCTION <br />Wastewater is a term used to describe water leaving a site as sewage. Generally, this includes <br />water from the kitchen and bathroom sinks, toilets, dishwashers, clothes washers, and bath <br />tubs/showers. Each day, every person within Indian River County produces an average of 100 <br />gallons of wastewater. <br />This wastewater has three possible destinations. First, it may enter an on-site sewage treatment <br />and disposal system OSTDS , usually a septic tank followed by a drainfield, where it receives a <br />minimum level of treatment. Second, it may go to a private sewage treatment plant, generally <br />located near the dwelling unit or other structure. Private treatment plants usually provide a <br />greater degree of treatment than septic systems. The third possible destination for wastewater is <br />a regional treatment plant. Such regional plants may be located many miles from the structure <br />where wastewater is generated. These plants generally provide a consistently greater degree of <br />treatment than either septic systems or private plants. <br />Wastewater treatment systems are comprised of three components; these are collection, <br />treatment, and disposal. The importance of each of these three components varies with the type <br />of wastewater system. This document will address the collection, treatment, and disposal <br />characteristics of septic systems, private treatment plants, and regional treatment systems. <br />PURPOSE <br />The purpose of the Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element is to: <br />• identify existing and projected demand and need (demand - supply = need) for sanitary <br />sewer facilities based on the county's population, existing and future land use, capacity <br />of existing facilities and any future changes to these facilities; <br />• identify the operational responsibilities, geographic service areas and levels of service <br />provided by each facility; <br />• identify those areas where public sewer will and will not be provided; and <br />o <br />• identify environmentally sound methods of disposing of treated wastes and sludge from <br />treatment plants. <br />This sub -element will provide direction for the county in planning for the collection, treatment, <br />and disposal of wastewater in a manner consistent with federal, state and local laws. In addition, <br />the Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element will identify proposed locations and levels of service of sanitary <br />sewer facilities. Finally, this element will establish sanitary sewer policies that complement the <br />county's future land use pattern and serve as a means of directing future growth in the county. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 1 <br />Appendix A <br />
