internal projects as well as to attract new clients to our customer base. 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. 14  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.  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 approximately 7 miles of piping. This project will divert all wastewater flows from Eglin proper to the Arbennie Pritchett WRF.  Sanitary Sewer Rehab (construction) – install liners on terra cotta sewer pipes and aging manholes to reduce the inflow and infiltration which is currently inundating the wastewater collection system.  Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (design & construction) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains under Poquito Bayou with new directional bores.  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.  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.
