City of Sunny Isles Beach Water Supply Plan Update First Reading January 21,2016 Adoption Hearing April 21,2016 5.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS 5.1 Work Plan Projects Since the City of Sunny Isles Beach is not responsible for the maintenance, expansion, and operation of the potable water system that serves the community, the City does not implement any water improvement or construction work projects. Such projects are implemented as a result of the user fees, development impact fees, and other fees associated with receiving services from the Utility. The City received Water User Permit No. 13-00060-W from the SFWMD on August 9 2007. with latest modification to limiting condition 28 and 30 issued on June 11, 2012. The permit expiration date is August 9, 2027. The creation of conservation programs, alternative and traditional water supply projects were results of requirements by the SFWMD found within the referenced Permit and the City's desire to better manage its water resources. The NMB Utility works closely with MDWASD and the SFWMD in order to provide information on projects and which are included in the appropriate update of the LEC Water Supply Plan Update. The NMB Utility has proposed the following projects needed to ensure adequate water: Leak Detection Water Production/Distribution & Pipeline System leaks can be identified as main breaks or during other operational practices and miscellaneous occurrences. The City on a quarterly basis performs a leak survey of a portion of water distribution system to identify any leaks in piping network. At the end of the survey a report is prepared to quantify the leaks with estimated amount of water loss identified. The City also piloted a leak detection program in 2014 to pinpoint hard to detect leaks in large diameter water transmission mains. The City conducted the pilot project on two subaqueous mains and the project was successful in identifying two small leaks. Norwood-Oeffler WTP While the current WTP capacity is 32.0 mqd, the City had originally planned for an additional 5.5 mqd of treatment capacity at this location as follows: • Adding a new NF membrane skid (3.0 mqd). • Adding new vessels to the existing RO skids (2.0 mqd). Q Creating another 0.5 mqd in blended raw water. This approach has since been altered due to the Biscayne Aquifer restrictions imposed by SFWMD under their Water Availability Rule. • New Floridan Well A new well, Floridan Well F-5, is proposed and to be funded through Impact Fees during the 2021-2023 planning period. 17
