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. Ø 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. Ø Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (design) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains under Poquito Bayou with new directional bores. 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 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, computer aided-drafting, land/easement acquisition, 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 – to ultimately save the customers and taxpayers money. The following major projects are planned for FY2016: Ø Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility (APWRF) 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 Camp Rudder Force Main & Lift Station (construction) – provide sewer service to Camp Rudder via a master lift station and approximately 8.6 miles of piping. This project will divert all wastewater flows from Camp Rudder to the APWRF. Ø Brooks Bridge Water Main Bore (alternatives analysis & easement acquisition) – 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). This project is partially funded by a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement. 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. 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. Seeking to purchase land for the future reservoir, water treatment plant, and associated infrastructure. Ø 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 collection system. This project is partially funded by a state appropriation administered by a FDEP Grant Agreement. Ø Lake Pippin Area Sewer (alternatives analysis & easement acquisition) – 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. Ø 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. Ø Meigs-Seminole Lift Station & Associated Force Mains (design & construction) – replace the aging and undersized Meigs-Seminole Lift Station, which currently pumps all the wastewater from Bluewater Bay to the NVRSB facility. Ø Mid County Tank #4 & Connecting Water Main (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. Ø Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (construction) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains under Poquito Bayou with new directional bores.
