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. Provide adequate collection lines and treatment facilities to provide capacity for 85 GPD per capita.
6. Meet or exceed State and Federal wastewater treatment standards
7. Protect ground and surface waters through provision of consistent high quality wastewater treatment.
8. Continue to ensure maximum efficiencies by utilizing the best operating practices.
The following projects are planned for Fiscal Year 2015:
Arbennie Pritchett WRF Expansion (design-build construction) – Expand the current facility from 10
million gallons per day (MGD) to 15 MGD because of additional flow from Eglin AFB projects, the East
County Service Area (diversion project mentioned above), and future growth. Project will be funded with
Capacity Expansion Charges that have been received from some of these listed projects and other land
development projects.
Bob Sikes WRF – Install membranes we have in storage in additional train. Only one train has membranes
installed. Need other membranes installed and new train online to do repairs/maintenance on existing train.
Diversion of the OCWS portion of Sewer flow to Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Board Plant (design
& construction) – Construct a new force main and pump station 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. The East County Repump Station is planned to be constructed
in FY2014-FY2015 and the East County Transmission Main (approx. 6.7 miles) is planned

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR:
Provided engineering, surveying, permitting, inspection, and project management services for the following:
Future Water Supply (planning) – continue with Implementation Plan to ensure the sustainability of a safe,
reliable, and adequate water supply in the future, with efforts focused along the Shoal River for an offline
reservoir. Partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a hydraulic and water quality model that is
underway. Obtained additional grant funding for land acquisition.
Packet Pg. 19
Newcastle 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. This project is partially
funded by a Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Community Development Block Grant.
Camp Rudder Force Main & Lift Station (design) – provide sewer service to Camp Rudder via 1 master lift
station and approximately 8.6 miles of piping. This project will divert all wastewater flows from Camp
Rudder to the Arbennie Pritchett WRF.
Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (design) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains under
Poquito Bayou with new directional bores.
Diversion of the OCWS portion of Sewer flow to Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Board Plant (design)
– Construct a new force main and pump station 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 (Bluewater Bay area). Project will also eliminate Rocky Bayou Lift Station,
Post Office Lift Station, and miles of 14” aging, sewer force main.
Eglin Main Force Mains & Lift Stations (design & construction) – provide sewer service to Eglin Main
Base via 2 lift stations “inside the fence” and approximately 7 miles of piping. This project will divert all
wastewater flows from Eglin proper to the Arbennie Pritchett WRF. Design is complete, and construction is
over half-way complete.
Ft. Walton Beach 36” Force Main (construction) – joint project with the City of Ft. Walton Beach to install
a 36” ductile iron force main on Roberts Blvd. the Ft. Walton Beach Golf Course, and Denton Blvd. to
replace 3 critical, aging force mains feeding the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (WRF).
Del Cerro II Well (construction) – install new potable water well in the Mid-County area to increase potable
water supply and reliability of the system. Project is not yet completed and online, but well underway.
Garniers Area Sanitary Sewer Rehab (construction) – installed 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.
Subsurface utility engineering (AKA mapping) was completed in the Mid-County Service Area
(unincorporated Crestview) and East County Service Area.
PROGRAM GOAL: When land development projects are submitted, complete the review and issue
comments within 15 business days. Begin new construction inspections within
