TRANSCRIPT
Broward County-wide
Master Reuse Plan
Southeast Florida Utility Council
March 10, 2014
Presentation Overview - Road Map
Where we started:• Background• Goals
What we did:• Team Selection• Scope Development • Project Tools Development
Where we’re going:• Implementation• Planning, and Data Collection
BACKGROUND
Background: Water Resources
Task Force• Task Force Report - January 2011
• Included 40 recommendations in the areas of:
• Water conservation• Reuse planning and
development• Regional water supply projects• Investigation and modeling
Eleven (11) recommendations specific to reuse including;
• Recommendation #19
Regional Reuse Master Plan
Background: Water Resources
Task Force
Challenges:• Developed urban areas
• 25 distinct water providers
• 15 distinct wastewater providers
• Seasonal demand fluctuations
• Treatment costs/disposal options
Background: Water Reuse
Challenges
Background: Water Reuse Drivers
• Water/Wastewater concurrency
• Saltwater intrusion• Costs for alternatives
Key Drivers in the Past
• Regional Water Availability Rule
• Ocean Outfall Rule• Climate Change• Regulatory
Requirements
Key Drivers Today
Reclaimed Water
Feasibility Study
Renewing Facility Permits
Renewing Water Use
PermitsRenewing UIC Permit
Background: Regulatory Reuse
Drivers
• To develop a Regional Reuse Master Plan that will build upon current municipal and county efforts and coordinate a regional approach to reuse planning, maximizing cost-effective reuse development within Broward County
• To create a platform for shared communication
• To provide flexible and interactive planning tools
Background: Reuse Master Plan
Goal
COORDINATION&
TOOL DEVELOPMENT
• Water and Wastewater Providers/Local Gov’ts
• Consultants• Hazen and Sawyer, P.C.• Craven Thompson & Associates, Inc. • Cordova Rodriguez & Assoc., Inc. • Steve Lamb
• Broward County:• Natural Resources Planning and Management• Development and Environmental Review• BC Water and Wastewater Services
• FLDEP, DOH, DOT, SFWMD
Work Effort: Team Selection
• Review of Previous Studies/Reports
• Stakeholder Meetings
• Stakeholder Specific Interactive Project Analysis
• Reclaimed Water Planning Tools Development
Work Effort: Team Collaborations
Work Effort: Tool Production
GIS Reclaimed Water Planning Tool
Project Evaluation Model
• Foundation for data storage and interpretation
• Database of existing and planned reclaimed water infrastructure
• Addition of planned County Public Works Projects
• Google Earth platform allows for easy manipulations of alternatives
• Tool was used to develop proposed regional projects
Work Effort: GIS Planning Tool
• Evaluated potential users based on distance from WWTP
• Two scenarios:• With utility
boundaries• Without utility

Work Effort: BC WWS Example, cont.
• Criteria were developed with stakeholders
• Final criteria included the following categories• Project Benefits• Project Implementation• Project Reliability• General Acceptance of Project• Project Costs
• Weights and scaling factors were established
• Model is in Excel – simplifies revisions
Work Effort: Project Evaluation Model
• Existing and planned reclaimed water infrastructure
• Planned County Public Works projects
• Costs and carbon footprint of potential reclaimed water projects
• Climate change impacts on reclaimed water options
• Potential reclaimed water opportunities by utility
• Regional reclaimed water projects
• Regional projects using Criteria Model
• Guidelines for future maintenance of tools
Work Effort: Master Reuse Plan
FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation: Benefits
Current:
• Database of existing reclaimed water infrastructure-not previously available
• Catalyst for multijurisdictional partnering • Documents reuse projects for future funding under SB
444 or otherFuture: • Reduction in engineering costs for future planning efforts• Ability to visually analyze options• Platform to coordinate with future public works projects
and potentially reduce construction costs
