The following projects are planned for FY2016: Ø 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. Ø Bob Sikes WRF – Install membranes from storage into additional train. Only one train has membranes installed. Need other membranes installed and new train online to do repairs/maintenance on existing train. Ø Diversion of East County wastewater from the Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Board Plant to the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (APWRF) (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. Project will also eliminate Rocky Bayou Lift Station, Post Office Lift Station, and miles of 14” aging, sewer force main.

REVENUE: The Water & Sewer enterprise fund receives all revenue through monthly customer billings, capacity expansion charges and related ancillary charges for use of both the Water and Sewer systems within the Okaloosa County service area. The funds customer base is currently in excess of 37,000 water service and 34,000 sewer service connections both residential and commercial. MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR: Provided engineering, surveying, permitting, inspection, and project management services for the following: Ø 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. Ø 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. Ø Diversion of East County wastewater from the Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Board Plant to the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (APWRF) (design) – construct a new force main and pump station to divert OCWS sewer 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. The pump station is under construction, and design of force main is underway. Ø Eglin Main Force Mains & Lift Stations (construction) – provide sewer service to Eglin Main Base via 2 lift stations “inside the fence” and approximately 7 miles of piping. This project diverted all wastewater flows from Eglin proper to the APWRF. Ø 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 and completed a system-wide hydraulic and water quality model. Completed Shoal River Buffer Land Acquisition – 961 acres of land for watershed protection and military buffering. Ø GIS/Mapping - additional subsurface utility engineering was completed in the Garniers Service Area (unincorporated Fort Walton Beach), specifically portions of the gravity sewer collection system. Ø 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. Ø 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. Ø Mid County Tank #4 (land acquisition) – 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.
