reclaimed water from the MDWASD North District Wastewater Treatment Plant, if it becomes availahlP_ An assessment was conducted by the NMB Water to determine the feasibility of installing water reuse infrastructure within the corridors of pipelines due for construction as part of the Water Treatment Plant Expansion Program. This evaluation of the installation of reuse water pipelines was performed to identify permitting requirements, potential future usage applications design criteria, and associated capital costs. A benefit analysis was conducted to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the installation of the reuse water pipeline. The feasibility assessment recommended that a more in-depth evaluation should be performed to identify the best source of reclaimed water (NMB owned wastewater plant versus acquiring effluent from others), the appropriate selection of a future treatment facility location, and confirmation of the pipe route to be selected. 3.7.3 Identify any Local Financial Responsibilities as Detailed in the CIS The City does not currently have financial responsibility for reuse projects. 3.8 Alternative Water Supplies T#e NMB "may Water actively pursues the use of alternative water resources. It was the first utility in Miami -Dade County to establish commit to and then implement a substantive aR Alternate Water Supply Program for their Water Service Area. Through this program the utility, in coordination with its intergovernmental partners, is taking the lead to help ensure it protects and preserves valuable water resources while providing for the needs of current and future populations. Th NMB Water's CUP requires that the Floridan aquifer wells operate to withdraw a minimum of 10 percent of the quantity of water withdrawn from Biscayne Aquifer wells on an annual average basis. This system has been in service since 2008. While demand management and conservation are key focus items, as previously mentioned in this Section, opportunities for alternative supplies or Biscayne Aquifer offsets will continue to be Pursued by NMB Water. Reuse water, up to approximately 100,000 gpd, if reasonably available could be used for a Public Works Vehicle Washing Station. Another option discussed has been the possibility of a wastewater scalping facility to provide reuse water for irrigation or ground water recharge. The City of Sunnv Isles Beach supports NMB Water's efforts. The provision of water supply needs in City of Sunny Isles Beach is achieved in coordination with local, county, and regional partners including North Miami Beach U#kw Water, Miami -Dade County, and South Florida Water Management District.
