Okaloosa County BOCC — 2013 meeting #1142 (date undetermined) — 1-7 Water & Sewer — reading text

Preserve and protect 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. 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 FY2014:  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.  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. 5  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 county east service area. The East County Repump Station is planned to be constructed in FY2014 and the East County Transmission Main (approx. 6.7 miles) is planned to be constructed in FY2015. Project will also eliminate Rocky Bayou Lift Station.  Russell Stephenson WRF (design & construction) – replace/upgrade plant electrical system due to age and safety hazard.

Funded by Eglin AFB.  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 Water Supply Needs Analysis and a Pilot Water Treatment Plant.  Main Island Lift Station (construction) – a new lift station was needed to replace the aging, failing, lift station servicing all of Okaloosa Island. This project provides greater capacity and reliability to the Island sewer system.  Duke Field Force Main & Lift Station (construction) – provided sewer service to Duke Field via a master lift station “inside the fence” and approximately 7 miles of piping.  Rocky Bayou Force Main (construction) – replaced an aging 14” sewer force main transmitting all flow from the East County Service Area (Bluewater Bay) to the NVOC Regional Sewer Plant. Project is part of a phased plan to eliminate the Post Office Lift Station and Rocky Bayou Lift Stations.  Okaloosa Island Sanitary Sewer Rehab (construction) – installed a cured-in-place liner on terra cotta sewer to reduce the inflow and infiltration which is currently inundating the wastewater collection system.  Ft. Walton Beach 36” Force Main (design) – 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).  Meigs-Seminole Lift Station (design) – replace the aging and undersized Meigs-Seminole Lift Station, which pumps all the wastewater from Bluewater Bay to the Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Plant.  Subsurface utility engineering (AKA mapping) was completed in the County West Service Area (Hwy 98 West) and the Mid-County Service Area (incorporated Crestview). PROGRAM GOAL: When land development projects are submitted, complete the review and issue comments within 15 business days. Begin new construction inspections within 48 hours of notification. With regards to underground utility mapping and as-built drawings, complete the work in the East County Service Area (Bluewater Bay area). 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. 8 The following projects are planned for FY2014:  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.  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).  Newcastle 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. This project is funded by a Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Community Development Block Grant.  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.  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. Partnering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a hydraulic water model of the entire water system. Seeking funding for land acquisition for property to serve the following purposes: future reservoir, future water treatment plant, watershed protection, and military buffering.  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 WRF.  Eglin Main Force Mains & Lift Stations (design & construction) – provide sewer service to Eglin Main Base via 2 lift stations “inside the fence” and
