RECOGNITION OF THE EMPLOYEE AND THE TEAM OF THE QUARTER FOR THE

FIRST QUARTER OF 2006/ 2007

Explanation: On a quarterly basis, the Employee Recognition committee meets toreview nominations submitted by fellow employees and supervisors for the Employee ofthe Quarter and the Team of the Quarter. For the first quarter of FY 2007, October—

December 2006, nominations for the Employee and the Team of the Quarter were

received. Ray Alvarez was selected as the Employee of the Quarter. The team of Zone2 and Zone 4, which consist of Chris Jones, Donnie Huston, Carlos Negron, Mark

Schnee, Glen Jeffers, Gary Carr, Patrick Ortiz, Randy Smith, Bob Deem, Alex Ortiz, Carlos Santiago, Everett Reedy, Charles O' Shields, Angel Marcano, Ricardo Marrero, Iran Mendez, Carlos Agostini, Jerry Williams, and Mike Lowrey, were selected as theTeam of the Quarter.

EMPLOYEE OF THE QUARTER:

Ray Alvarez is being recognized for stepping - in when his fellow co- worker was ill andabsent for an extended period of time to satisfy the electrical maintenance needs of theMaintenance Division. He was also instrumental in creating the location database of thelift stations in the TWA service area for mapping purposes. Ray' s efforts have helped toimprove the staff' s ability to retrieve commonly used data, and lift station data.

TEAM OF THE QUARTER:

The Field Operations Employees from Zones 2 and 4 are being recognized forcompleting directional bores to new roundabouts in the Mill Run and Oak Runsubdivisions, and for continuing to make progress on the main line flushing to improvewater quality in the BVL subdivision, respectively.

Zone 2 excelled in customer service when performing their tasks in the Mill Run andOak Run subdivisions. A big key to their success was the manner in which Zone 2crews communicated and assisted one another throughout the project.

Page 4: HEAR AUDIENCE ( Anything requiring a vote will be heard at a … and Meetings... · 2018-03-14 · Recommendation: Staff requests that the Board of Supervisors present Ray Alvarez

Zone 4 has been tasked with performing flushing throughout the BVL subdivision andhas carried out their responsibility in a manner that has been deemed respectful of ourcustomers. This Zone is also one of the first crews to use the new handheld GPS units

for valve locations in the BVL subdivision, which will result in improved mapping systemdata. Other noted accomplishments by Zone 4 include improved response time to repairwater leaks, caught up sidewalks that needed to be poured, and decreased the amountof meters backlogged to be installed from 450 to 170 in a month' s time.

Attachment( s): Interlocal Agreement Amendment

AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF ST. CLOUD,

ORANGE COUNTY, POLK COUNTY AND REEDY CREEK IMPROVEMENT

DISTRICT RELATING TO COOPERATION IN OBTAINING WATER USE PERMITS.

Explanation: In September of 2006, the South Florida Water Management District

SFWMD), St. Johns River Water Management District ( SJRWMD), and the Southwest

Water Management District ( SWFWMD) established the Central Florida Coordination

Area ( CFCA) for water supply planning, development, and permitting within an agreedupon geographic area of Central Florida. The Coordination Area includes Osceola

County, Orange County, Polk County, Seminole County, and southern Lake County. The three water management districts ( WMD) have agreed that the area' s groundwater

supply is reaching its limits and should not be permitted for water supply for demandsbeyond 2013. After 2013, future water demands for the area will have to be provided byAlternative Water Supplies ( AWS). As a result, the WMDs have agreed that water use

permits for groundwater withdrawals for the area will be issued only to cover projecteddemands up to 2013. At the time the WMDs entered into agreement to establish theCFCA there were five water use permits pending before the SFWMD, TWA, City of St. Cloud, Reedy Creek Improvement District ( RCID), Orange County, and Polk County. Toimplement the agreed upon principles of the CFCA, SFWMD has decided that the five

pending WUPs will be evaluated and issued concurrently as competing uses. SFWMDhas proposed to issue the five utilities 20 year permits for the 2013 agreed upon water

demands, twice the term of present permits issued by the District within Central Florida. As an enticement to receive the 20 year permits the District has requested that the five

utilities work cooperatively to provide data, information, and groundwater modeling insupport of their applications.

At the December 13, 2006 meeting the Board approved an interlocal agreementbetween TWA and the four other utilities listed above ( see attached back-up) to workcooperatively and jointly fund hydrogeological work and other investigative workassociated with our respective water use permit applications. The agreement was

developed and funding established based upon the anticipated level of effort required tomeet the Water Management District requirements for obtaining a permit in January. The permit process is still on- going at this time and is anticipated to continue into May. The scope of work required of the jointly funded consultant( s) has grown significantlyand the term of the work has been extended obviously too. The modeling covered in theinitial agreement along with some field investigations has raised additional issues whichhave required additional investigation and evaluation, extending the permitting process.

Based on the work performed to date and the anticipated effort to complete the

permitting process by May, the consultant( s) have requested a fee increase of $ 150, 000

to a total fee of $250,000. Since mid- December 2006 the parties and the consultant(s)

have been involved in almost weekly meetings, frequent communication with WMDstaff, and submissions of additional information or evaluation of additional areas. The

proposed amendment increases the upset fee limit and adjusts each utility participantshare in accordance with the formula established in the base/original interlocal

agreement. TWA' s share of the cost increases from $ 26, 700 to $ 66, 750.

Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Amendment to the Interlocal

Agreement relating to regional cooperation in obtaining water use permits.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE AT SANDHILL RD. WATER

RECLAMATION FACILITY

Explanation: The Sandhill Rd. Water Reclamation Facility ( WRF) was designed to provideultra -violet ( UV) disinfection as part of the facilities upgrade. The UV system was installed

mid 2005 by Cardinal Construction Company, contractor for the Sandhill Rd. WRF Phase 3Expansion project. The UV system was damaged from being submerged in water and hasnot been placed in operation. While the issues with the UV system were being resolved, sodium hypochlorite ( liquid chlorine) was being utilized to disinfect the plant effluent beforedistributing it to the customers as reclaimed water. This was scheduled to be a temporarysolution until the UV system was in operation.

The original disinfection process was designed for UV as the main source for disinfection.

The sodium hypochlorite system was designed for polishing or as a supplemental sourceof disinfection at a low dosage. Therefore, while the sodium hypochlorite is used as the

primary disinfection a higher dosage of sodium hypochlorite is required in order to achievean acceptable level of disinfection to meet permit requirements. The current chemical

operating budget for the Sandhill Rd. WRF did not anticipate using a high quantity ofsodium hypochlorite as a main source of disinfection. Currently, the average sodiumhypochlorite consumption is approximately 5, 000 gallons ( one tanker load) every threedays at a cost of $ 3, 500. Since the UV system is not planned to be in operation until June

2007, additional funding is needed to supply sodium hypochlorite to continue with thecurrent disinfection process at the Sandhill Rd. WRF. The anticipated additional

expenditure for the sodium hypochlorite is $ 100, 000.

Once the Authority' s legal counsel determines each party' s ( i. e. Chastain - Skillman —

Engineer; Cardinal Construction — Contractor; Infilco Degremont — Supplier) responsibilityfor the UV system damage, Toho will be seeking compensation for not only the damagedUV system costs but other costs such as chemical supply costs, relating to the UV systemissue.

Funding for this request will be taken from reserves.

Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of $ 100, 000 ( 85 -days supply) be added tothe chemical operating budget for the Sandhill Rd. WRF.

DISCUSSION OF AUTHORITY STRATEGY AND POLICIES FOR NON -POTABLE

WATER DEMAND

Explanation: Supervisor Wells proposed that the Board discuss the Authority' sstrategies related to providing reclaimed ( non -potable) water service. A discussion of

this subject is timely because non -potable water service accounts for approximately halfof the Authority' s present and future water demand, can utilize lower quality andtherefore less costly water sources, and has the largest potential for reduction in

demand. Therefore a key component of the Authority's long term water supply strategyshould focus on addressing this non -potable water demand and supply.

The Authority has initiated some steps to reduce non -potable water demand and toincrease the available supply of non -potable water. To address demand, the Authorityhas adopted an inverse block ( conservation rate) structure for both its irrigation and

reuse water rates. The Authority is phasing in a cost of service inverse block reuse ratewith the first phase adopted for this fiscal year and the second phase to be implemented

in the next fiscal year. Adjusting these block rates in conjunction with monitoringdemand should produce a reduction in demand on a per customer basis. Additionally, the Authority installed meters for all existing reuse ( non -potable) water customers whopreviously were billed a flat monthly rate. To increase the supply of non -potable waterthe Authority constructed the Shingle Creek Reclaimed Water Augmentation project toprovide up to 4 mgd of additional water. The Authority is investigating additional non - potable water resource and supply projects.

Supervisor Wells has proposed that the Authority adopt a policy of requiring individualdevelopments to design and construct their individual stormwater system to provide for

using stormwater as their source of irrigation water. The Authority would establishdesign specifications and/ or standards for a stormwater irrigation pumping system to beinstalled by the developer and subsequently deeded to the Authority for operation andmaintenance. Supervisor Wells believes that adopting such a policy could reduce theneed to construct as extensive a non -potable ( reclaimed water) system.

Page 16: HEAR AUDIENCE ( Anything requiring a vote will be heard at a … and Meetings... · 2018-03-14 · Recommendation: Staff requests that the Board of Supervisors present Ray Alvarez

The staff believes that Supervisor Wells proposal has some merit. In fact the staff and

particularly the Authority' s Water Conservation Coordinator have been investigatingdeveloping some programs and/or policies to encourage use of stormwater as a non - potable water source. Staff has had some discussions with the engineers for the West

Lake Cove DRI about designing the stormwater management system for the

development to provide a source for irrigation. When the staff discussed designing theAuthority's administrative building as a " Green Building" with the Board one of the

concepts proposed was the use of the stormwater runoff as the primary source ofirrigation. Using stormwater as a non -potable water resource can play a significant rolein reducing the Authority' s future total water demand. However, individual developmentstormwater irrigation systems can probably not provide sufficient water year round tomeet the irrigation needs of most developments. During the typical dry months, March, April, and May, and during droughts there is little or no stormwater available. An

individual development stormwater system will most likely need a supplement/ back- upsource to meet year round and drought demand needs. Additionally, for some types ofdevelopments the cost of constructing a stormwater capture and irrigation system mayfar exceed the benefit or produce such a low quantity of water relative to demand as tomake the construction of such a system impractical. This issue would occur primarilywith relatively small commercial and residential developments.

Adopting policies and programs that either significantly encourage or require

developments where practical to utilize stormwater generated from their project as the

primary source for irrigation and other non -potable demands could significantly reducethe future non -potable water demand needed to be provided from other sources. A

significant reduction in non -potable water demand will reduce the investment the

Authority will have to make in developing alternative non -potable water supplies. The

Authority' s non -potable water system would still provide the supplement and back- upsupply needed for year round service. With the Board' s approval the staff will proceedwith developing a policy requiring certain developments to install stormwater captureand irrigation systems.

In addition to utilizing stormwater as an alternative source for non -potable waterdemands, the Authority can reduce non -potable water demand through some

regulatory/ policy approaches on irrigation. The staff has previously advised the Boardthat the Authority should adopt a policy in the near future restricting lawn and landscapeirrigation to two days per week. The St. Johns River Water Management District

SJRWMD) adopted a rule limiting irrigation to two days per week for the Central FloridaArea a few years ago. The District and Central Florida Utilities within the SJRWMD

cooperatively fund an on- going media campaign around the two days per weekirrigation limitation. The University of Florida Agricultural Extension Service supports thetwo days per week limitation as appropriate for maintenance of lawn and landscapes.

The two days per week limitation should be established through policy by the Boardfollowed with ordinances by the City and County and hopefully also a rule by the SouthFlorida Water Management District. This policy change could have a significant impacton irrigation water demand with little expense by the Authority. In conjunction with theirrigation days limitation the staff is proposing to request a policy and subsequent local

Page 17: HEAR AUDIENCE ( Anything requiring a vote will be heard at a … and Meetings... · 2018-03-14 · Recommendation: Staff requests that the Board of Supervisors present Ray Alvarez

ordinances requiring the installation of a soil moisture sensor control with any irrigationsystem. The soil moisture sensor would prevent an irrigation system from operatingwhen the soil moisture level is at or above a set level. Studies on the use of soil

moisture sensors versus not using them have indicated that there are significantsavings in water use for irrigation when a soil moisture sensor is used. The cost of the

sensor is around $ 75 presently. There is a question as to their function on irrigationsystems using reclaimed water that needs to be addressed before there is

recommendation for universal use.

The Authority' s Water Conservation Coordinator has been working on developing a pilotprogram to provide incentives for developers of commercial projects to incorporate

water conservation features into their projects and renovations. A copy of the proposedprogram is attached. Staff is proposing to provide impact fee incentives to incorporatewater conservation features in the project design instead of proposing a regulatoryapproach. The pilot program will test whether financial incentives or what level of

financial incentives will result in the incorporation of water conservation features in a

project. In the late 1980s, the Authority's predecessor initiated a program of providingimpact fee credits for the installation of low flow toilets before the plumbing coderequired them. During that time the majority of developments took advantage of theprogram and installed the low flush toilets. The staff is hoping this program will producesimilar results.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Authority adopt the following waterconservation measures:

1. Develop a policy and criteria for requiring the use of stormwater as a primarysource for irrigation with the Authority' s non -potable water system.

2. Adopt a policy limiting lawn and landscape irrigation to two days a week, request the County and City to adopt similar ordinances, and request theSouth Florida Water Management District adopt a similar rule.

3. Implement the proposed water conservation impact fee incentive pilot

program for commercial projects.

Impact Fee Rebates for Commercial Developers

Purpose: To encourage and assist commercial developers/ builders to incorporate water

conserving features into new developments and renovations by providing financial incentives.

Program: Developers/ builders will receive a rebate based on the percentage of actual water

use reduced below the flow rate (gallons per day) upon which the impact fees are based.

Process:

Determine impact fees and flow rates under the existing fee structureDeveloper and/ or builder works with Toho staff to assess water conservation options

Jointly produce an outline of water conserving features selected by the developer, calculated water demand reduction, and communication critical to project success

e. g. landscape installers) Incorporate language into the Special Conditions section of the Developer' s Service

Agreement that identify participation in the Impact Fee Rebate Program and definerebate parameters

Developer/ builder implements project

One year following meter(s) installation, water use is determined from billing records, compared to impact fee flows, and a rebate is provided based on the percentage of

water use below the impact fee flows. Partially occupied developments will beprorated.

Illegal or cross -connections affecting rebate calculations shall invalidate the rebateprogram
