flow from NVRSB to the APWRF. This will consolidate flows and reduce overall wastewater treatment cost for the flows from our East County Service Area (Bluewater Bay area). Project will also eliminate Rocky Bayou Lift Station, Post Office Lift Station, and miles of 14” aging sewer force main. Pump station construction was completed, and design of force main is in progress.  Garniers Area Sanitary Sewer Rehab (construction) – install cured-in-place liners on vitrified clay sewer mains and brick manholes to reduce the inflow and infiltration, which is currently inundating the wastewater collection system.  Lake Pippin Area Sewer (alternatives analysis) – install public sewer to approximately 125 lots adjacent to Choctawhatchee Bay and Lake Pippin. This project is funded by a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement.  Marlowe Area Water System Improvements (design) – provide new, larger water mains to the area and fire hydrants to provide increased fire protection and ensure the reliability of the system.  Mid County Tank #4 (land acquisition & design) – a second elevated water tank near the Bob Sikes Industrial Park would provide for increased storage, reliability, and redundancy for the potable water and fire suppression systems. This project is partially funded by a Northwest Florida Water Management District grant. Approximately 1.1 acres of land was acquired for the tank and associated infrastructure.  Newcastle Area Water System Improvements (construction) – provide new, larger water mains to the area and fire hydrants to provide increased fire protection and ensure the reliability of the system. This project was partially funded by a Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Community Development Block Grant.  PJ Adams Pkwy Water Main Relocation (design) – install a water transmission main to replace the existing main that is in conflict with the roadway 4-laning project. Project to occur in 4 phases from Hwy 85 to Interstate 10.  Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (construction) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains under Poquito Bayou with new directional bores. PROGRAM GOAL: To be on call and ready to perform any repair to any facet of the Okaloosa County Water & Sewer Systems’ service area at any time 24/7/365. To handle all projects undertaken in a professional manner with a minimal amount of service disruption to our customers. KEY OBJECTIVES: 1. Ensure budgetary, personnel, customer service and purchasing functions comply with County policies and procedures. 2. Preserve and protect aging infrastructure to provide quality of service to customers. 3. Maintain and extend the useful life and utility of County facilities. 4. Ensure the preservation and safe operation of all work related equipment. 5. To provide routine and preventative maintenance for the system. 6. To provide emergency response capabilities to prevent all but short term interruptions to service and prevent system losses or environmental damage. 7. To maintain and improve key components of the Water & Sewer infrastructure. The following projects are planned for FY2017:  Brooks Bridge Water Main Bore (design & construction) – install a second water supply line to Okaloosa Island, which would then serve as the primary water source to Okaloosa Island (main on bridge would serve as backup). This project is partially funded by a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement.  Diversion of East County wastewater from the Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Board (NVRSB) Plant to the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (APWRF) (construction) – construct a new force main to divert OCWS sewer flow from NVRSB to the Arbennie Pritchett WRF. This will consolidate flows and reduce overall wastewater treatment cost for the flows from our East County service area.  Garniers Area Sanitary Sewer Rehab (construction) – install cured-in-place liners on vitrified clay sewer mains and brick manholes to reduce the inflow and infiltration, which is currently inundating the collection system. This project is partially funded by a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement.  GIS/Mapping – database to be improved and upgraded, by merging multiple datasets. Additional subsurface utility engineering to be completed as needed to accomplish the merger.  Hwy 90 West Water Main Replacement (design & construction) – install a water transmission main to replace the aging pipeline that is regularly failing.  Lake Pippin Area Sewer (design) – install public sewer to approximately 125 lots adjacent to Choctawhatchee Bay and Lake Pippin. This project is funded by a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement.  Marlowe Area Water System Improvements (construction) – provide new, larger water mains to the area and fire hydrants to provide increased fire protection and ensure the reliability of the system.  Meigs-Seminole Lift Station & Associated Force Mains (construction) – replace the aging and undersized Meigs-Seminole Lift Station, which currently pumps all the wastewater from Bluewater Bay to the NVRSB facility.  Mid County Tank #4 & Connecting Water Main (construction) – a second elevated water tank near the Bob Sikes Industrial Park would provide for increased storage, reliability, and redundancy for the potable water and fire suppression systems. This project is partially funded by a Northwest Florida Water Management District grant.  Newport/Essex Area Water System Improvements (design & construction) – provide new, larger water mains to the area and fire hydrants to provide increased fire protection and ensure the reliability of the system.  PJ Adams Pkwy Water Main Relocation (construction) – install a water transmission main to replace the existing main that is in conflict with the roadway 4-laning project. Project to occur in four phases from Hwy 85 to Interstate 10.  Reclaimed Water to City of Niceville and Eglin AFB (design & construction) – provide for facility upgrades at the APWRF to provide up to 4 MGD of reclaimed water capability and install approximately 11 miles of reclaimed water transmission mains to the City and Eglin AFB. This project has a rough-order-of- magnitude cost of $8M, and is currently funded at $3M, via a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement. This grant will fund the entire design and environmental work, the construction of the APWRF upgrades, and a portion of the pipeline.  Taxiway H Water Main Extension (construction) – in partnership with County Airports and Eglin AFB, install a water main that will support the Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting Station and Eglin AFB’s water system. This project is funded by an FAA grant and payment in kind for the APWRF lease with Eglin AFB.
