r .. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Potable Water and Wastewater The City of Sunny Isles Beach pumps groundwater from wells that draw from the Biscayne Aquifers. The Biscayne Aquifer is a water supply for Miami-Dade and Broward Counties and is of high quality. Approximately 330 million gallons per day (mgd) are withdrawn from the aquifer to meet the needs of South Florida communities. The City is serviced by both potable water and sewer; however, the City of Sunny Isles Beach does not provide either service to its residents. The City of North Miami Beach provides the supply of potable water and sewer services are provided by Miami-Dade County. The City of Sunny Isles Beach receives water through North Mjami Beach's Norwood Water Plant. The plant has currently a capacity of 28 million gallons per day (MGD) and appears to have adequate capacity to meet existing and future needs. Additional capacity may become available when the City of North Miami Beach starts expanding its system to 40 MGD. According to LOS standard, the total daily need for the City is 150 gallons of water per person which includes residential, commercial, and industrial use, public needs, and loss. The adopted LOS for sanitary sewers for the City is 315 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit. The County's Level of Service is based upon the average daily flow from the preceding year. In order to meet the standard, the system must accommodate 102% of the preceding year's daily average and one hundred gallons of wastewater per day per capita. The estimates provided for future demand are calculated with the County's LOS of one hundred gallons per day. The County is projecting an increase in demand, which will require an expanded treatment plant for wastewater. Stormwater and Drainaae Facilities The City of Sunny Isles Beach provides man-made drainage facilities, which include drainage systems and pumping stations to serve Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard (SR 826), the William Lehman Causeway (SR 856), Golden Shores and the multifamily developments on North Bay Road and in the southwestern portion of the City. To effectively provide for the drainage of storm water, all development is required to satisfy the Stormwater Management Level of Service for the City. This standard includes both a Flood Protection (FP) and Water Quality (WQ) component. The City reviews drainage plans submitted by developers to assure they meet these requirements. Approval from SFWMD shall be obtained prior to issuance of any site development permit. City of Sunny Isles Beach - 2005 Draft Evaluation and Appraisal Report Rev. 6/29/2005 Page 39
