I. SUMMARY

This report updates the hydrologic information presented in the April 11update of the Interim Drought Management Report. Since that time significantchanges in the hydrologic conditions have been reported, due both to scattered heavyrainfall and reductions in water use. In April up to nineinches of rainfall wasrecorded in some areas along the east coast. Rainfall on the west coast was, however,significantly less, amounting to only two to three inches. The level in LakeOkeechobee had risen on April 23 to 13.26 ft NGVD which was near normal for thistime of year. Regional groundwater levels had shown a positive reaction to therainfall and reductions in pumpage. Comparison of pumpages for the period March15 - April 18 with pumpages for the period March 1 - 14 had shown an averagereduction in pumpage of 10.3 percent.

The high risk utilities (Cape Coral, Naples, Marco Island, Tequesta, andHighland Beach) had all shown increases in water levels in the aquifers and astabilization or improvement in water quality. Hallandale, however, continued toshow increases in chlorides in monitoring well 1435. Meetings were subsequentlyheld with representatives of Hallandale to resolve this local problem.

Subsequent to the removal of mandatory restrictions in Lee and CollierCounties, there have been significant increases in water use and reductions inground water levels at Cape Coral, Naples and Marco Island. Water levels declinedapproximately eight feet in monitoring well L-581 in Cape Coral. Significantdeclines in water levels were also recorded in the monitoring wells in the NaplesCoastal Ridge Aquifer, along with increases in chloride concentration.

District staff have renewed their public relations efforts on the west coast toencourage voluntary conservation, and indications are that conditions have againbegun to stabilize in the area.

II. INTRODUCTION

This report provides an update of the water conditions throughout the Districtsince April 11, 1985. The water shortage declarations imposed at the March 15Governing Board meeting were relaxed as of April 24, 1985 due to greatly improvedhydrologic conditions and significant reductions in water use. The mandatoryrestrictions previously in force in Lee and Collier Counties were reduced to a watershortage warning, and the warning previously in force in nine other counties wasremoved.

Included in this report are the technical data on which the decision to relaxthe water shortage declarations was made, and hydrologic data from select high riskareas, including data subsequent to relaxation of the water shortage declarations.An update of the public information, legal, and administrative aspects of the watershortage management is also included.

III. WEATHER/RAINFALL SUMMARY

The District received near normal rainfall for both the months of March andApril. The month of March yielded 90% of average rainfall. During Aprilapproximately 127% of normal rainfall was received. This amount variedconsiderably throughout the District. The Upper Kissimmee and Orlando areareceived 65% of normal for the month, whereas the Stuart-Ft. Pierce area received inexcess of 200% of normal rainfall. The Loxahatchee/Royal Palm Beach area receivedmore than 8 inches of rainfall during April versus a normal expected amount ofapproximately 3 inches. The monthly rainfall for the dry season received by theDistrict (average) are:

Month Rain (Inches) Percent of Normal

October 1984 0.90 15%November 1984 3.60 208%December 1984 0.59 37%January 1985 0.72 38%February 1985 0.32 15%March 1985 2.54 90%April 1985 3.58 127%

The 1984 wet season provided only 86% of normal rainfall to the District. The1984/85 dry season has provided only 64% of normal rain. A look at the 12 monthperiod from May 1, 1984 to April 30, 1985 gives a feel for the magnitude of theprecipitation deficit:

The Geographic Location Map of these areas is labeled 'Reporting Areas forMonthly Operations Report.' For this 12 month period, all areas received belownormal rainfall. The areas which received the closest to normal precipitation werethe Ft. Pierce and Caloosahatchee areas with the Caloosahatchee Basin actuallyreceiving 109% of normal wet season precipitation. The dryest areas were the WaterConservation Areas (with a 22.78 inch deficit), Everglades Agricultural Area (with a17.19 inch deficit), and the Upper Kissimmee Basin (with a 17.24 inch deficit).

Maps of total rainfall throughout the District are shown as Figures 2 through5. Figure 2 shows the total rainfall for April 1985. Figure 3 shows the normalrainfall for the month of April. Figure 4 shows the total rainfall received for the1984/85 dry season (October 1, 1984 to April 30, 1985). Figure 5 shows the normalrainfall for the October through April period.

IV. SURFACE WATER CONDITIONS

A. Upper Kissimmee BasinThe stages of the largest three lakes in this area (see Figures 6, 7, and 8)all reached their declining regulation schedules during April andregulatory releases were begun. These releases will continue for the restof May as the actual lake stages follow the regulation schedules down tothe annual minimum level on June 1st. Thus a continuous flow of about1500 cfs will be discharged from Lake Kissimmee into Lake Okeechobeeeven if no rain occurs during the month of May. Rainfall could increasethis discharge. All the smaller lakes in the basin declined slowly duringApril and will probably not reach their regulation schedules untilsummer rains occur.

B. Lake IstokpogaThe stage of Lake Istokpoga remained almost flat during April, passingabove the declining minimum schedule about mid-month. No releaseswere made during April (See Figure 9), but they were begun early in May.Unless considerable rainfall occurs, this lake will not reach the regulationschedule before June 1st, but it probably will remain above the minimumschedule, regardless of rainfall.

C. St. Lucie CountyThe ample rainfall during April kept water levels in all canals in the areain the normal dry season range all month.

D. Lake Okeechobee and the Water Conservation AreasThe principal water storage components of the Central and SouthernFlorida Flood Control Project (CSFFCD) are Lake Okeechobee and thethree Water Conservation Areas.During April, 70,400 acre-feet of water were delivered from LakeOkeechobee for use in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA), theWater Conservation Areas (WCAs), and the East Coast. Backpumpinginto the lake from the EAA replaced 23,500 acre-feet however, making anet delivery from the lake for the month of 46,900 acre-feet. In addition,14,700 acre-feet were delivered from the lake to the Caloosahatchee RiverBasin.During April the EAA delivered 60,000 acre-feet more to the WCAs andto Lake Okeechobee than it received from those sources. Over threequarters of this, however, was to the WCAs where most of it went intogroundwater and marsh storage. Little of this storage is retreivable foruse outside the WCAs.The WCAs received 101,000 acre-feet more from the EAA and the EastCoast than they delivered to those areas.During April, 36,800 acre-feet were delivered to the East Coast but14,200 acre-feet were backpumped (by S-9) into the WCAs, making a netdelivery of 22,600 acre-feet to the East Coast.Since the beginning of the dry season Lake Okeechobee has dropped froma level of 16.29 ft. NGVD on October 1, 1984 to a level of 13.05 ft. NGVDon May 1, 1985 for a total decline of 3.24 feet in seven months. Thesignificant rainfall received in the middle of April brought the stage up tothe 20-year average level for the period of 1963 to 1983 as shown inFigure 10A. Figure 10B shows how the stage compared in relation topredicted stages for 0%, 50%, and 100% of normal rainfall conditions.

Figure 11A shows the total system storage for the period of March 1, 1985to May 6, 1985. The effects of the mid-March and mid-April rainfallevents are quite pronounced on this figure. The total amount of water instorage on May 1, 1985 was 1,307,100 acre-feet, or 426 billion gallons ofsurface water. (This compares well to a Lake Okeechobee stage of 11.45ft. NGVD and 684,400 acre-feet on May 1, 1981) The loss from storageduring the month of April was only 176,000 acre-feet compared to 275,000acre-feet in March and greater than 400,000 acre-feet per month in bothJanuary and February as shown on Figure 11B.

E. Caloosahatchee RiverThough the salinity level was held well within the tolerable range by thebubbler curtain at the Franklin Lock, a new problem arose. Toward theend of April an algae bloom developed in the lower river threatening thewater supply of Lee County. Consequently, a four-day heavy dischargewas made from Lake Okeechobee to flush out the bloom.

V. REGIONAL GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS

A review of the water levels in the 36-well Key Indicator Groundwater Moni-toring Network from the end of March 1985 through the end of April 1985 revealsthe following:

1. Seventeen of the 36 wells showed a higher water level at the end of Aprilthan at the end of March. This is a very favorable sign because thenormal condition is for the water levels to make their largest monthlydecline in stage during the month of April. Traditionally April is thehighest water usage month but obviously the cutbacks in withdrawalscoupled with above normal rainfall has significantly improved theregional groundwater conditions.

2. Nine of the 36 wells showed essentially the same water level at the end ofApril as at the end of March. This indicates a stablization of the resourceduring the month of April

3. Ten of the 36 wells did have lower water levels at the end of April than atthe end of March. Six of the ten were on the east coast with four in theSouth Dade County area, in response to a partial curtailment of waterdeliveries during the heavy rains around Lake Okeechobee. Four of theten were in Lee and Collier counties.

The graphs in Appendix I show the water levels experienced during themonth for each of the 36 wells in the network. The data used included endof month readings for April 1985. It is important to note that the lowvalue shown for April 1985 in most of the wells occurred around April 11,1985 and that the end of month conditions improved significantly asdescribed above.

VI. DEMAND MANAGEMENT

A. Public Water Supply Utility Monitoring program

Naples:After the mandatory restrictions were lifted on April 24, average daypumpage from the Coastal Ridge Aquifer increased slightly, but with themajor impact of increased demand absorbed by the East Golden Gatewellfield. Other users of the Coastal Ridge Aquifer, however, apparentlydid increase pumpage significantly and with this increased pumpagecame a drop in the water levels of all the monitoring wells. On April 30the water levels began to increase. Chloride concentrations remainedrelatively stable until May 1, at which time the concentrations began toincrease as a response to the lowered water levels. Chloride concentra-tions had decreased in all wells showing increases as of May 5, but had notdeclined to April 30 levels.Water levels are still significantly above 0.0 ft NGVD in six of the sevenkey monitoring wells and significantly above pre-shortage declarationlevels in all wells.Conditions have deteriorated in the Coastal Ridge Aquifer; however, ifpumpage is reduced along the coastal ridge through adherence tovoluntary restrictions on water use and the water levels continue toincrease, conditions will improve.The East Golden Gate wellfield has been stable since the restrictions werelifted.

Marco Island:Conditions at Marco Island have deteriorated slightly because ofincreased pumpage since the lifting of the withdrawal restrictions. Thelake levels reached a low of -1.96 ft NGVD on May 4, however theyslightly increased to -1.71 ft NGVD on May 5. Chloride concentrationsare fluctuating but are within the range experienced since April 1.

Cape Coral:On April 25 average day pumpage from the mid-Hawthorn aquifer atCape Coral tripled compared to April 24, and by May 5 it was four andone half times higher. Pumpage from the lower-Hawthorn did notincrease, however. As a result of this increase of withdrawals from themid-Hawthorn, the water levels in USGS well L581 declined to -35.9 ftNGVD from -27.6 ft. NGVD on April 24, or an eight foot drop. Thechloride concentrations have remained fairly stable. A request for volun-tary reductions in water use on May 2 by District staff has resulted in adecline in the rate at which the water level in the mid-Hawthorn aquiferis falling and this is shown in the attacheed set of graphs.As of May 5, total pumpage in Cape Coral was running at the reducedlevels accomplished during the Phase 1 shortage. However, the city isdepending on the mid-Hawrthorn more at this time than it did during thePhase I shortage.According to Don Kuyk, City of Cape Coral, the city was takingadvantage of the water restrictions and renovating many of the lower-Hawthorn wells which are used for the R/O plant. The lifting of therestrictions came as a surprise to them and consequently they were notprepared for the results. When the demand increased, several of thelower-Hawthorn wells were out of service so the pumpage had to come

continuing to come from, the mid-Hawthorn with a reduced amountcoming from the lower-Hawthorn.The city indicated that the membranes for the new R/O plant arescheduled to be delivered May 6 or 7. After installation and testing, theplant should go on-line. This is anticipated to be May 10 at the earliestand May 17 at the latest. Reduced pumpage from the mid-Hawthorn isnot anticipated until the new R/O plant is in operation.

Tequesta:Conditions at Tequesta have been stable the past several weeks, and thewater levels have been at least a foot higher compared to March. Therehave been fluctuations of water levels in some of the wells; however, thisis a reflection of the pumpage being rotated between the two wellfields.

Highland Beach:Current conditions are good at Highland Beach. During the past twoweeks, pumpage has decreased, water levels have increased, and chlorideconcentrations have been stable.

Hallandale:During April, chloride concentrations continued to increase at monitoringwell 1435 from 2450 mg/1 on April 4 to 2800 mg/l on April 18. Becausethis well is about 1000 feet from the main wellfield, staff held a meetingat the District with representatives of the city to solve the matter of anemergency supply. The city has elected to establish the necessaryinterconnections with the city of North Miami Beach. Analysis ofchloride concentrations at well 1435 on May 3 showed a slight decline to2400 mg/l, however, chloride concentrations at monitoring wells 2294 and2351A showed slight increasees. Salt water intrusion at Hallandalecontinues to be a serious problem.

TREND: Water levels have increased since last week and are approaching thelevels observed in mid-April before the recent decline at all monitoring wells,except at well 490 where the water level has decreased. Chloride levels haveincreased at all monitoring wells except 490 since last week. The increasedchloride levels are the result of the earlier low water levels. Chloride levelshave decreased in the past few days at the two worst wells, 524 and 527,although they still remain above last week's levels. Chlorides have increasedat production wells 3, 21, and 30 since last week.

CONCaLUSIoN: Conditions have deteriorated in the Coastal Ridge Aquifer as aresult of laow water levels in the past two weeks. However, the water levelshave increased and coanditions in the aquifer are expected to improve if thehigher water levels are maintained.

TREND: Chlorides have increased at wells 2351A and 2294 and decreased at well1435. The decrease at 1435 is probably the result of rain between 4/18 and 5/3which could have diluted the chloride concentrations at the toe and also couldhave produced a temporary increase in the freshwater gradient toward the east,thereby, temporarily moving the toe of the salt water front back. The increasesat 2294 and 2351A indicate that saline intrusion remains a problem.

CONCLUSION: Saline intrusion remains a problem at Hallandale.

B. Golf Course Irrigation Monitoring ProgramDuring the period of March 22 through April 18, the nine major golfcourses drawing water from the Coastal Ridge Aquifer achieved a 33%reduction in usage compared to the March 1-14 base period. In the weeksubsequent to the lifting of the water shortage declaration, the averagedaily water use for the nine permits returned to a level on a par with thebase period.Staff visited the area on May 2 in an attempt to ascertain the cause oflowered water levels in coastal monitor wells. Staff also contacted thearea golf courses and agricultural operations and examined water usepractices and schedules. Those golf courses that had greatly increasedirrigation since the lifting of restrictions were admonished to attemptcompliance with Phase I use requirements in order to protect the aquifer.Pumpage reports received since those contacts have demonstrated acooperative response and subsequent reduction of 36% to 67% of thehigher post-restriction usage.Staff will remain present in the area in order to assure continued waterconservation efforts.

C. Agricultural Water UseStaff contacted Reggie Brown, Collier County Extension Director,concerning agricultural well water use in the Coastal Ridge Aquifermonitoring area, with the following results:

Water use by agricultural users had been reduced 40-50% by May 3,1985 compared to water usage in April and prior to April.Some crops had been completely harvested, and harvesting for mostof the crops is to be completed by the end of May. By the end of Maywater demands should be reduced by 75% from the April demands.Citrus and nurseries will continue to be irrigated.

A quick survey of the area indicates that crops are being harvested orhave been harvested.A trip is planned to Collier County to survey the well pumpage which mayhave an influence in monitoring well 424.

D. Water Shortage Enforcement

Office of Counsel is continuing to pursue adoption of the model watershortage ordinance by counties and municipalities throughout theDistrict. A follow-up letter is planned to counties and municipalitieswhich have not yet adopted the model ordinance, urging them to do so inanticipation of future water shortages. 'The model ordinance is also to berevised to include a provision authorizing county and city managers todeclare water restrictions when water is unavailable due to a systemfailure, but still applying the same restrictions as the District. The ordin-ance would then be complete as to all contingencies which might arise andmore capable of acting as a complete substitute for existing ordinances,some of which deal with system based shortages. Office of Counsel willalso be preparing a set of recommendations as to revisions of the WaterShortage plan, Chapter 40E-21, Fla. Admin. Code, based upon experiencegained during the current water shortage. The goal will be to achievebetter implementation and administration.

In terms of local enforcement efforts, the following table summarizestickets and warnings issued by local agencies in the Phase 1 area duringthe water shortage:

Local Government Warnings TicketsNaples 93 142Collier County 35Ft. Myers 25Cape Coral 161 83Lee County 47 uncounted;

excessivenumber

361 225+

E. Variance RequestsSubsequent to the last report, eleven additional variance requests werereceived. They consisted of five individual residences requesting differentwatering hours, two golf courses requesting front nine/back ninevariations, three condominiums requesting extended hours or odd/evenvariations, and one landscape contractor requesting temporary "newlandscape" rules for verticut lawns.Prior to completion of review, the mandatory water shortage restrictionswere lifted; therefore no recommendations were made.Overall, the primary complaints with the water shortage restrictionsbased on received variance requests were with the hours during whichindividual lawn watering was permitted, the inability of some residentialdevelopments irrigation systems to complete the watering cycle duringthe allotted hours, and the inability of some golf courses to complyspecifically with a front nine/back nine irrigation regime.

F. External CoordinationPublic. Media, and Other Interest Group Communication. The public andthe media have been provided with frequent updates on water shortageconditions. When the water restriction measures were rescinded on April24, a media briefing was held at District headquarters and a press releasewas issued (see Appendix III). The media maintains an active interest inthe situation and press coverage has been good.Another press release was issued on May 2 alerting the media to sharpincreases in water consumption in Lee and Collier Counties (seeAppendix III). Key media personnel were contacted to enlist their aid inhelping to increase public awareness quickly. Major feature articlesappeared emphasizing the need for renewed water conservation efforts.The staff continues to distribute an in-house summary of the district'swater shortage meetings which are now held on as as-needed basis.Local Government/Utility Customers Coordination. Water shortage"teams", specifically organized to meet the critical issues faced by localgovernments, proved their usefulness recently in Lee and CollierCounties. In conjunction with the District's May 2 media alert, a watershortage team was dispatched to Fort Myers to give radio and televisioninterviews. Meanwhile, in Naples, staff conferred with major water users(golf courses). This effort resulted in wide media coverage on the sameday and significantly boosted the District's water conservation messagein the area.

Telephone (305) 686-8800

NewsRelease

RELEASE DATE: IMMEDIATE

INFORMATION SERVICES April 24, 1985Additiona Information Call:

Today, the South Florida Water Management District will rescind the

mandatory and voluntary water restriction measures currently in force throughout

most counties in the District. Mandatory Phase 1 restrictions will be dropped

in Lee and Collier counties but a voluntary restriction program will continue

until further notice. Counties placed on a precautionary water shortage warning

will have the voluntary restrictions lifted.

"South Florida has been able to deal with these dry conditions thanks to

local support and moderate rainfall," said John R. Wodraska, Executive Director

for the South Florida Water Management District. "Our measurements indicate

that conservation efforts by utilities and local governments have been excellent

and the recent rains helped alleviate the crisis. Although there has been a net

improvement, we are still concerned about our next dry season and strongly

encourage people to conserve water on an ongoing basis."

Staff continues to carefully monitor water conditions in the 16 counties

under District jurisdiction. Significant changes were recorded during the last

two weeks, due both to cutbacks and scattered heavy rainfall.

Lake Okeechobee is the District's main water storage system during the dry

season, holding nearly 95% of our water reserves. Periodic discharges are made

to replenish the canal system which conveys water all the way down to Dade

County. Due to the recent rains which dumped 6 to 7 inches on some areas of the

east coast, discharges from the lake were curtailed for 8 days. As a result,

the level of the lake yesterday had risen to 13.26 feet, near normal for this

time of year. The other major lakes in the system, Lake Kissimmee, Lake

Istokopga and Lake Tohopekaliga are also showing signs of recovery and are above

the minimum seasonal levels.

To monitor consumer demand trends, the water pumpage reports of 49 major

utilities for the period of March 15 to April 18 were compared with those of

-2-

March 1-15, before restrictions were imposed. During that month water use was

reduced by more than 10%. Some areas achieved greater percentage reductions

than others, notably Naples - 21%, Marco Island - 19%, Lee County 181 - and

Martin County - 20%.

On the west coast, where mandatory water restrictions had been imposed,

pumpage from the mid-Hawthorn and Coastal Ridge aquifers decreased; water levels

rose in Fort Myers and Naples, reducing the threat of salt water intrusion in

the water supply. The mandatory water restrictions will be lifted today and

replaced by voluntary water cutbacks.

Representatives from the District will continue to work closely with county

and municipal government officials in other areas to promote water conservation

methods particularly with major user groups such as golf courses and

agriculture. Several counties have the model ordinance in place; staff is now

concentrating on passsage of the ordinance by the municipalities. The seasonal

exodus of winter residents on both the west and east coast should help reduce

municipal water demands in most areas.

"Our problems are not over yet. We are so dependent upon rainfall levels,

that if we don't receive our full quota of rain this summer, we may be in

serious trouble again by early 1986," cautioned Tilford C. Creel, Deputy

Executive Director of the District. "To avoid recurring water shortage

problems, we must recognize the importance of sound water conservation policies

and practice them."

Additional Information Call INFORMATION SERVICES May 2, 1985

Lee and Collier counties' water supplies continue to hover close to a water

shortage condition, a condition that could worsen if rainfall remains light and

water consumption continues to increase.

The District upgraded the status of Lee and Collier counties April 24 by

replacing the Water Shortage Phase 1 category with a Water Shortage Warning.

Under a Water Shortage Warning, Lee and Collier county residents are still to

conserve water as they did so effectively under Phase 1. The difference between

a warning phase and Phase 1 is that no penalties are enforced for the warning

phase.

"Remember, we still need your help," reminds John Wodraska, Executive

Director of the South Florida Water Management District. "We were able to

rescind our mandatory water use restrictions last week for two reasons -

rainfall since mid-March was nearly normal and all water users, (agricultural,

recreation and residential) reduced their consumption by the 15% we required.

In the last week, however, we have seen consumption start to climb, and the

weather has been dry. This combination could quickly put us back in a water

shortage again, unless water conservation practices are reestablished

immediately."

"Groundwater levels are receding," Wodraska said. "Water conservation is

paramount. We are keeping a close watch on these borderline areas: Cape Coral,

the City of Naples, and Marco Island. District staff will meet soon with

high-volume water consumers such as farmers, golf course superintendents, and

water utility directors, to examine recent water use patterns and study means of

reducing water demands."

The next water conditions update will be delivered by District staff to the

Governing Board meeting in Okeechobee, May 9 and 10.
