MOD water treatment capacity plus the 3.0 MGD proposed North County RO Plant capacity will provide adequate water capacity to the year 2002. Sew► - The County owns and operates nine wastewater secondary treatment plants. The four largest planta are designated as regional plants (North, Central, South, and West) and account for a nominal capacity of 3.85 MGD in the aggregate. The County is currently completing a 1.0 MGD expansion of its West Regional Treatment Plant. The expansion is scheduled for completion by April, 1996. Another 1.39 MGD capacity is allocated to the County at the Vero Beach Wastewater Plant. The County's South Regional Treatment Plant is in design and permitting for an additional 1.150 MOD expansion and is projected to receive bids for the project in September, 1996. The County's Central Treatment Plant is in design and permitting for an additional 1.0 MOD of capacity. The County has constructed a 180 acre wetland for effluent disposal treatment adjacent to the West Regional Treatment Plant. The wetland is designed for 6.0 MGD effluent disposal treatment capacity with an initial permitted disposal capacity of 2.0 MGD. Effluent is total reuse by spray irrigation onto golf courses. After the current planned expansions of the systems represented by the Series 1996 Projects to be funded with the Series 1996 Bonds, the system capacity is projected by the County to be adequate to the year 2003. The County is in compliance with all state and federal guidelines at its wastewater facilities. Infiltration into the system would be rated as low. The County has an ordinance for industrial pretreatment and mandatory hookup requirements. Swmaasry - In summary, as previously outlined, the currently planned plant expansions will supply projected plant capacity requirements for water until 2002 and sewer until 2003. The plant expansions will generate an estimated $44.8 M in impact fee revenues, which will provide capital funding for future expansion requirements. [remainder of page intentionally left blank] 9
