Agreement.
Diversion of East County wastewater from the Niceville-Valparaiso Regional Sewer Board (NVRSB) Plant
to the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (APWRF) (construction) – construct a new force main
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.
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 collection
system. This project is partially funded by a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement.
GIS/Mapping – database to be improved and upgraded, by merging multiple datasets. Additional
subsurface utility engineering to be completed as needed to accomplish the merger.
Hwy 90 West Water Main Replacement (design & construction) – install a water transmission main to
replace the aging pipeline that is regularly failing.
Lake Pippin Area Sewer (design) – install public sewer to approximately 125 lots adjacent to
Choctawhatchee Bay and Lake Pippin. This project is funded by a state appropriation administered by a
FDEP Grant Agreement.
Marlowe 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.
Meigs-Seminole Lift Station & Associated Force Mains (construction) – replace the aging and undersized
Meigs-Seminole Lift Station, which currently pumps all the wastewater from Bluewater Bay to the NVRSB
facility.
Mid County Tank #4 & Connecting Water Main (construction) – 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.
Newport/Essex 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.
PJ Adams Pkwy Water Main Relocation (construction) – install a water transmission main to replace the
existing main that is in conflict with the roadway 4-laning project. Project to occur in four phases from
Hwy 85 to Interstate 10.

Reclaimed Water to City of Niceville and Eglin AFB (design & construction) – provide for facility upgrades
at the APWRF to provide up to 4 MGD of reclaimed water capability and install approximately 11 miles of
reclaimed water transmission mains to the City and Eglin AFB. This project has a rough-order-of-
magnitude cost of $8M, and is currently funded at $3M, via a state appropriation administered by a FDEP
Grant Agreement. This grant will fund the entire design and environmental work, the construction of the
APWRF upgrades, and a portion of the pipeline.
Taxiway H Water Main Extension (construction) – in partnership with County Airports and Eglin AFB,
install a water main that will support the Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting Station and Eglin AFB’s water
system. This project is funded by an FAA grant and payment in kind for the APWRF lease with Eglin AFB.
