s <br />General Background <br />The Indian River County Commissioners, through its <br />Utility Department, are moving forward with a progressive and <br />well planned program of providing water and sanitary sewer <br />facilities to the populated areas of Indian River County. <br />About two (2) years ago, a major water project was completed <br />involving the extension of 20" and 16" water lines from the <br />vicinity of Oslo Road and 27th Avenue, generally west along <br />Oslo Road and north along Kings Highway to Route 60, then <br />west along Route 60 to its intersection with Interstate Route <br />95. The water project also involved the construction of a <br />750,000 gallon elevated water tank at the intersection of <br />Kings Highway and Route 60. This major water project <br />establishes the core of a water supply system for the Route <br />60 corridor of Indian River County, which is experiencing <br />rapid growth. Subsequently, a major sewer project was <br />constructed along the Route 60 corridor to furnish sewer <br />service to this growth area. The sanitary sewer construction <br />has been completed and primarily consists of an arterial or <br />"core" system of pumping stations and force mains into which <br />developers and existing development can connect. The sewer <br />project also includes construction of a new 1.0 MGD <br />wastewater treatment plant and effluent disposal facilities. <br />-3- <br />
