It routinely installs new water mains, sewer mains, and lift stations to upgrade or extend service. Has the capability to perform other construction activities as required. 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: 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 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 Del Cerro II Well Water Main (construction) – install new water main to connect to the new well in the Mid-County area to increase potable water supply and reliability of the system. Ø East County Repump Station (construction) – Construct a new repump station to eliminate Post Office Lift Station, and miles of 14” aging, sewer force main. 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 Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (design) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains under Poquito Bayou with new directional bores. Ø Various fiber conduit installations. PROGRAM GOAL: To execute all construction activities in a professional and economical fashion while maintaining the highest level of quality in all work performed. Consider the effect of all projects on the environment and proceed accordingly. Strive to do each project on time every time. KEY OBJECTIVES: 1. Ensure budgetary, personnel, customer service and purchasing functions comply with County policies and procedures. 2. Install new 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. Maximize the use of department capital funding by completing construction projects with in-house capabilities. 6. Tie new construction into the system in a timely fashion. 7. To increase the utilization of “in house” resources for maximum cost savings, flexibility and timely completion of internal projects as well as to attract new clients to our customer base. The following projects are planned for FY2016: 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 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 Poquito Bayou Water Main & Force Main Bores (construction) – replace the aging, deteriorated mains under Poquito Bayou with new directional bores. 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.
