48 hours of notification. With
regards to underground utility mapping and as-built drawings, complete the gravity sewer. Continue to support
OCWS projects in the Capital Improvement Plan by surveying, designing, permitting, and inspections as
needed. Ensure accurate as-built construction plans are recorded for each completed project.
KEY OBJECTIVES:
The primary mission of OCWS Engineering is to design, review, permit, and inspect new construction, either
for land development projects or OCWS construction projects for the water and sewer system that benefit our
customers. OCWS Engineering also provides surveying and project management services for OCWS in-house
construction projects. The primary deliverables of OCWS Engineering are approved construction plans and as-
built construction plans. The following are key objectives:
1. To assure all development serviced by the system meets accepted standard specifications.
2. Provide engineering support to assure that the system meets its operation and maintenance standards.
3. Advise the director and senior managers regarding engineering and design services.
4. To increase the search for relationships that will result in the consolidation of potable water supply as well
as wastewater treatment and disposal services.
The following projects are planned for Fiscal Year 2015:
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. Seeking to purchase land for the future reservoir, future water treatment plant, watershed
protection, and military buffering.
Bob Sikes Elevated Water Tank (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.
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.
Brooks Bridge Water Main Repair or Replacement (design & construction) – install a second water supply
line to Okaloosa Island (or repair the broken bore, if at all possible), which would then serve as the primary
water source to Okaloosa Island (and main on bridge would serve as backup).
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 to be
constructed in FY2016. Project will also eliminate Rocky Bayou Lift Station, Post Office Lift Station, and
miles of 14” aging, sewer force main.
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.
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 is
partially funded by a Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Community Development Block Grant.
Camp Rudder Force Main & Lift Station (construction) – 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.
Meigs-Seminole Lift Station (construction) – replace the aging and undersized Meigs-Seminole Lift Station,
which pumps all the wastewater from Bluewater Bay to the Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Plant.
Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (construction) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains
under Poquito Bayou with new directional bores.
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.
