EXHIBIT" A"
WATER SYSTEM FACILITY PLAN
The following is the Executive Summary from the Water System Facility Plan; the
document in its entirety is available for review at the City Clerk's Office (104 N.
Riverside Drive) and at the City website: cityofedgewater.org
I Executlve Summary
The City of Edgewater owns and operates a utility system, which provides water,
wastewater and reclaimed water service to residents and businesses within its Service
Area, and adjoining unincorporated areas in southeast Volusia County. The City has
authorized preparation of this Facility Plan Update to identify projected capital needs
and establish cost estimates and implementation schedules. It is anticipated that the
city will utilize the State Revolving Fund (SRF) to construct improvements identified
herein.
This document addresses the water system element and comports with the Facility Plan
Review Checklist. The City may elect to utilize the Drinking Water State Revolving
Fund to address water system needs. This document will be submitted for review to the
Bureau of Water Facilities Funding.
This Facility Plan is consistent with the Goals and Policies established in the "City of
Edgewater Comprehensive Plan".
All projections and capital project planning utilizes year 2020 as the planning horizon.
Scope and objectives for this Facility Plan and Master Plan Update are as follows:
. Establish utility service area boundaries and planning periods.
. Review population projections as established by SJRWMD data and as modified
by site plan development within specific areas. Infrastructure needs will be
evaluated from the perspective of the "built-out" needs of the service area.
. Address existing: geologic and aquifer protection issues, terrestrial and aquatic
plant/animal communities, threatened and endangered species and
architectural/historic sites.
QLH

. The "Water System" element will address raw water supply, treatment and
distribution. It will incorporate recommendations approved within the Volusian
Water Alliance's, "Water Supply Plan".
· Preliminary designs and planning level cost estimates will be prepared for water
projects needed to sustain existing service and growth throughout the utility
service area.
· Implementation Schedules for selected projects will beset forth.
The City of Edgewater is located in the southeastern part of Volusia County just south of
New Smyrna Beach and north of Oak Hill. A Utility Service Area Map illustrating
Edgewater's municipal boundary and service area is included as Figure 1-1. The limits
shown are consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and consumptive use permit
(C.U.P).
The City is characterized as a typical coastal community providing central water,
wastewater, and reclaimed water service to residential, commercial, and light industrial
areas of the City and unincorporated areas in Volusia County.
A certain portion of residents in the service area continue to be served by wells and
septic tanks. Data provided by SJRWMD indicates that approximately 2,300 people in
the service remain 'unserved'. The majority of these are individual properties with 1-5
acre lots. No specific plans are in place to serve these residents. Demand associated
with connection of these unserved residents is not included in current projections.
Planning Period
The planning horizon for this Facility Plan is year 2020. Population and flow projections
are illustrated through 2025. The City's current consumptive use permit (C.U.P.) is valid
through 2027.

Water System
The City of Edgewater provides both wholesale and retail water service. On October of
1999, an agreement was signed to provide wholesale water service to Volusia County.
The County owns a distribution system within the southeast quadrant that is dependent
upon Edgewater's supply of treated potable water. Areas subject to this agreement are
illustrated on Figure /-1. The Agreement includes a transfer of up to 450,000 gallons per
day and establishes a rate structure for capacity charges and user fees.
All of Edgewater's potable water is derived from a common groundwater source, the
Floridan Aquifer system. Individual wells, located throughout the service area, withdraw
groundwater for subsequent treatment prior to discharging into the distribution system.
All of the wells serve the Alan Thomas water treatment plant. Water quality and well
levels within the well fields have remained consistent over the past ten years. Judicious
management of the resource has enabled the City to supply its customers with a
reliable source of high quality groundwater. The City will continue to rely upon fresh
groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer for potable demands through the 10-year
planning period
The Alan R. Thomas Water Treatment Facility has a rated capacity of 5.0 MGD. The
plant is described as an enhanced lime softening facility. Current demand is less than
50% of plant capacity. Water enters the treatment process through a tray aeration
structure were it releases hydrogen sulfide. After aeration, water flows by gravity to the
reactor basins. Polymer and lime are added to the water. The lime reacts with
dissolved carbonate and hardness is precipitated out of the treated water. Softened
water high pH is reduced by "Recarbonation". Recarbonation is followed by filtration
and disinfection. The plant has produced water of excellent quality. The plant has
sufficient reserve capacity to meet system needs.
The primary storage and pumping facilities are located at the Alan R. Thomas Water
Plant. The plant site includes a 1.0 million gallon reservoir and a site reserved for a
QLH
City of Edge water Water System Facility Plan
ES-3
future tank of a similar size. Distribution system pressure is provided by three 200 HP
split case centrifugal pumps. The City retains a storage and booster pump station at the
old water plant site on Park Avenue. That facility has 600,000 gallons of available
storage. At the Park Avenue site there are two 100 HP and two 75 HP booster pumps.
The water system does not currently have any problems with coliform bacteria,
disinfection by-products, Fluorides/Inorganic chemicals, synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals, lead, copper, nitrate/nitrite, radionuclides, or public health hazards. A copy of
the latest "FDEP Sanitary Survey Report" is provided in the Appendix.
Historical Demand
Historical water use data has been compiled from records provided by the City's water
plant and finance department.
Raw water pumping records for the past 11 years were evaluated. Annual average and
peak day demands for the entire system are tabulated in Table 11-2, "Average and Peak
Day Raw Water Annual Flows":
Population and Demand Projections
It should be noted that the City's originally requested C.U.P. allocation request was
rejected by SJRWMD. After a 4-year review and negotiation period, the City agreed to
accept SJRWMD's population and demand projections. They are included herein as

Additional well production, storage and pump capacity are required to meet projected
needs. In order to maintain reserve and rotational pumping capacity, maximum pumping
capacity must exceed average and peak demand. To achieve a condition where
average well operating times are between eight and 12 hours per day, a capacity factor
of 2.50 - 3.0 is desired.
QLH
City of Edge water Water System Facility Plan

Review of the data indicates that the City has an immediate need for four additional
wells. Thereafter, plans have been be made to construct four additional wells in the
western wellfield area to serve the Restoration DRI area.
Proposed Well Sites
The City has an immediate need for four (4) new wells and should begin construction by
2009. This summary is premised upon wells having average withdrawal capacities of
250 GPM. Lower well yields will necessitate a greater number of wells. Location is
illustrated on Figure IV-1. Proposed well sizes, locations and estimated capacities are
listed below.
Proposed Wells, Sizes and Estimated Capacities
Quantity Casing Estimated Total Proposed
Alan Thomas WTP Size Well Capacity Capacity Status
# (inches) (GPM) (MGD)
Wells #17 To #20 4 12 250/ea 1.44 Proposed
The estimated withdrawal capacity of wells #17-20 is 250 GPM each, total capacity is
approximately 1,000 GPM (1.44 MGD). Upon completion of this project, total raw water
supply capacity will be 5.54 MGD; the proposed wells will provide sufficient raw water
supply and rotational capacity through 2013.
The proposed project includes design of four new well, raw water main, auxiliary power
and access road for the expansion of the Alan R. Thomas wellfield. Estimated cost for
this improvement is 1.35 million. Funding for construction of this project is being
pursued as part of this Facility Plan. Construction is scheduled in 2009.
An additional four wells, #21-24, are proposed for construction at some time in the near
future within the Restoration D.R.1. The development may contain up to 8,500 E.R.U.'s
QLH
City of Edgewater Water System Facility Plan

and occupies approximately 5,200 acres. The development is a D.R.1. and is still under
review by D.C.A. The developer will dedicate four (4) well sites, each with an estimated
capacity of 300-400 GPM. A total withdrawal capacity of 1,400-1,600 GPM (2 MGD -
2.3 MGD) is proposed from the 4 sites. Construction of the new wells is scheduled in
FY 12/13 and will be funded by the developer of the Restoration DR!. SRF funding is
not proposed for these wells.
Upon completion of the wells #21 - 24, firm supply capacity will be 7.85 MGD. This is
adequate to supply projected average and peak demand to the service area through
2025.
Proposed Potable water Ground Storage Tank and Pump Station
The majority of potable water distribution components needed to serve future customers
will be provided and installed by developers. Exceptions relate to remote storage and
pumping. Remote storage and pumping is required to satisfy peak demand and fire
flow requirements. Remote storage and pumping also provides for redundancy in the
event of service interruptions at the WTP or water main beaks in the distribution system.
The City will require the construction of two new remote storage tank and pump
stations. A western storage tank and pump station to serve the new Restoration D.R.1.
will be required in the future concurrent with construction of the development. A 1.0 MG
storage and pump station is also proposed for construction to serve the Volusia
County's South-east service area. The City of Edgewater provides water to the Vol usia
County Southeast area along the US-1 corridor south of SR 442. The proposed Storage
and Pump station will provide for retail and wholesale demand and its expected growth
through the year 2025.
The City has completed design of this proposed Improvement which includes a 1 million
gallon pre-stressed concrete storage tank and high service pump station, ancillary items
also include: site access, parking areas, stormwater management systems, emergency
QLH
City of Edgewater Water System Facility Plan
ES-7
power, electrical and mechanical installations. The pump station will have a peak
discharge capacity of 2,000 GPM. The estimated construction cost is $ 2.1 million and
construction should be completed in 2009. SRF funding is being pursued for this project
and is included as part of this Facility Plan.
These proposed projects are required to allow the City of Edgewater to comply with
FDEP drinking water standards and reliability requirements listed in Chapter 62-555 of
the Florida Adm inistrative Code.
This Facility Plan demonstrates that the construction and operation of the proposed
improvements is in the public interest and will not cause detrimental environmental
impacts. Terrestrial and aquatic communities will not be negatively affected. Any
adverse effect to threatened or endangered species will be minimized. No
archeological or historic sites will be affected by this proposed project.
