Stormwater runoff and groundwater are entering the sewer system through cracks , broken laterals and offset pipe joints and this is resulting in higher flows and unnecessary treatment at the wastewater treatment plant. The City contracted with USSI, LLC to provide inflow and infiltration (I & I) inspection services to assess the condition of the sewer collections system. The latest report involves the Saratoga Circle service area, and the findings identified the areas where sto rm water is entering the sewer system. Out of the 141 manholes inspected , 123 issues were identified. Corrections involve placing a protective sealant inside the chimney of the manhole and installing an inflow defender dish to prevent stormwater intrusion into the wastewater collections system. A report of the findings was sent to the utilities department, along with an estimate , dated October 2025 , for protective sealing in the manhole chimneys and to install rain guards around the affected manholes in the amount of $50 ,960.00. BUDGET: Adequate funds are available in the Public Utilities Fund Account No. 410-5506-535-6300. Project No. PU2505. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the agreement with USSI, LLC for Saratoga Circle lift station service area repairs in the amount of $50 ,960.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and associated purchase order.

USSI was hired to provide a full I&I Study for a Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES). The goal of the investigation was to determine if inflow and infiltration is present in the upstream gravity sys tem of each lift station. There were 2 area(s) investigated in FY 2025. A summary of the findings is as follows. • 141 manholes plus 2 lift stations were noted • Of the 141 manholes , all but O were found , inspected and GPSed . • Most of the manholes are Precast • Most of the chimneys are Brick • 2 rings and covers need to be repaired/replaced immediately • 11 rings and covers need to be raised • 0 have a dish = most HOPE but not necessarily Defenders • 3 manholes have root issues . • 14 manholes showed some degree of corrosion as a result of hydrogen sulfide. • Smoke testing revealed 28 openings in the areas that smoked and O were repaired with LDL plugs ------ List of Infiltrations Bench !Chimney Chimney and Wall Wall -- ' Manholes by condition Condition 1-Rehab Condition 2-Poor !condition 3-Good I -------- Number 5 31 ' Number I 79 --------------■ ' I Number of pipes by size and type I ' Clay Lined/CIPP PVC I List of issues with inverts In Need of Repair 4 Underwater 30 2 94 Number List of Flows by Rate I 0" No Flow/Dry 1" Flow 12" Flow 3" Flow 4" Flow 7" Flow Not Inspected Surcharged Number 147 137 122 6 6 112 9 12 Reason why no dish was installed A-Dimension -include measurement 6 below Hinged Lid Offset Too Corroded Agenda Item #6.B. 26 Jan 2026 Page 19 of 67 Introduction Sanitary sewer lines serve a vital role in the health and safety of the public. Wastewater from the City of Atlantic Beach is transmitted through a series of gravity line s, lift stations and force mains that are designed to convey wastewater from homes and businesses to the wastewater treatment plant. Pipelines in the City were constructed starting in the l 960s and continued into the 1990s, and even today. The o ld er pipe was vitrified clay that has the potential to crack and leak. Joints are especially susceptible to this kind of damage . Newer pipe appears to be either SDR35 PVC (1980s and potentially problematic due to thin walls and challenging connections) or C900 PVC (1990s to date). No truss pipe was noted. Manholes and clean-outs are required for access and removal of material that may build up in the piping system. Manholes are used where there are changes in direction and/or size of the sewer pipe. They also serve as access sites for workers to perform maintenance or cleaning. Manholes are traditionally pre-cast concrete or bri ck. Brick was the method of choice until the late 1960s. In addition, the manhole cover may not sea l perfectly, becoming another source of infiltration during a rain event or even from normal irrigation runoff. The newer manholes are all precast concrete. Substantial savings in operations can be achieved by reducing the amount of wastewater that must be pumped and treated. Utilities have long dealt with the infiltration and inflow (I and I or InI) issues in their system by televising their pipes and identifying leak points , but this primaril y addresses only the infiltration part of "I and I". Inflow , which creates hydraulic issues during rain events, leads to sanitary sewer overflows and can su bject the utility to fines from regulatory agencies, and create publicity and legal issues when houses are damages from sewage backing up into houses and businesses. Inflow cannot be detected by television cameras. As a result, dealing with the inflow portion ofl and I requires different means. Fortunately, the efforts to find an d correct inflow are low cost and very basic which often leads to a more focused plan for infiltration correction program. Where there are peaks in wastewater flows that match rainfall , inflow would appear to be a more lik ely candidate for the cause of the peaks than infiltration from pipes that are constantly under the water table (see Figure 1). The peaking that correlates with the rainfall is inflow, not infiltration since infiltration is part of the base flow that creeps upward with time. Infiltration looks much lik e the base flow but may vary with groundwater levels. The amount of inflow can be calculated (see Figure 2). Since it is assumed that fluctuations in baseflow were negligible, any changes between baseflow+infiltration were assumed to be a result of fluctuations in infiltration (see Figure 3).

The statute deals with many things: blue green a lgae; regulation of septic tanks (a problem throughout the state); and sanitary sewer overflows, and increases fines to overflows (SB7 l 2/HB 1343). The latter makes utilitie s notice . Basically, the bill is a re s ult of sanitary sewer overflows that flooded parts of Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties several years ago. Uti liti es must now report of efforts to reduce infiltration , inflow and the potential for overflows (SSO's). The bill does set up funds to help with the issue , but it also increases the penalties to utilities for sanitary sewer overflows from inflow. The City of Atlantic Beach is responsible for the planning, construction and maintenance of its lift stations and coll ection systems. Maintenance and repair of the sewer force main piping and gravity collection sys tem includes excavation and repair of manholes , gravity piping , service connections and force mains . Age, pipe type , roadway conditions and other factors compromise sewer system capacity by creating the potential for infiltration and inflow into the sewer system and increasing the potential for overflows. Ongoing infiltration and inflow detection and elimination efforts are required to minimize excess water moving into the system since the total flows through the pipes directly translate s to increased pumping and treatment costs . Unfortunately, because these pipelines are out of sight, funding to address potential repair and replacement needs can be challenging. Agenda Item #6.B. 26 Jan 2026 Page 22 of 67 The City contracted with USSI , LLC., to provide l&l services to assess the condition of the piping in Lift station areas LS-E and LS-L; a total of 2 areas . The inflow reduction program consists of the following: • Inspection of all sanitary sewer manholes for damage , leakage, or other problems • GIS mapping of manholes and problem areas • Repair/sealing of chimneys in all manholes to reduce infiltration from the street during flooding events • Installation of LDL(R) plugs where manholes in the public right-of-way or other portion of the utilitya€™s system may be damaged • Smoke testing of sanitary sewer system • Identification of sewer system leaks , including those on private property (via location of smoke on private property) • Low flow inspection event (Midnight Run) • Determine if flow is significant Documentation of all problems in a report to utility that identifies problem , location and recommended repair The first step was inspection of all sanitary sewer manholes for damage , leakage or other problems , which while seeming obvious , is often not performed . The manhole inspection documented condition , GPS location , ties to photographic data and some form of numbering if not currently available . Points that smoke during smoke testing are likewise photographed and GPS documented. LDL plugs are placed in cleanouts on public property . Two items normally done as a part of the process were not accomplished: • Repair of manhole walls in poor condition or exhibiting substantial leakage • Installation of dishes in all manholes to prevent infiltration (riser prevent this) The midnight run wa s performed under the supervision of a crew chief that has ample experience with this study (minimum 5 years experience with USSI). The goal of the midnight run is to identify where there is flow that should not exist. If flow is present under conditions where there should be no flow , consecuti ve manholes upstream are opened to determine where flow is initiated. Generally, a 2 inch wide bead of water is a limit of "significant" infiltration. No flow conditions are normally night-time since infiltration cannot be separated from ba se flow when assessing average daily flows .

The goal of the investigation was to determine if inflow and infiltration is present in the upstream gravity system of each lift station. The work was undertaken during dry, no rain conditions at night (generally from 12am -Sam). The procedure utilized for the investigation is as follows: l. Review the manholes on the lift station area map 2 . Determine a starting manhole that is upstream of the lift station, but downstream of other manholes. The goal is to pick a point where finding no flow eliminates opening many manholes. 3. Open manholes. If there is a 2 inch wide bead of water that is not wastewater and not intermittent, proceed upstream opening consecutive manholes until the bead disappears. 4 . Identify the amount of flow in manholes by manhole number. 5. Note any change in flow by manholes (bead width, color, minerals , speed of flow) 6. Note any manhole defects (this is not the intent of the process but useful) 7 . Estimate the flow by manhole 8. Identify which pipes should be televised 9 . Write report and estimate total infiltration flow volume Flow volume is based on the discharge formula for partially full open channels of circular shape: Manning's equation is an empirical formula commonly used to estimate the volumetric flow rate (discharge) of water in open channels such as rivers , streams , and culverts. It is widely used in hydraulic engineering. Discharge Equation (in SI units): Where: Q = Discharge (flow rate), in cubic feet per second A = Cross-sectional area of flow , in square feet n = Manning's roughness coefficient (dimensionless) Rh = Hydraulic radius which is equal to A/P where P = wetted perimeter, in feet S = Slope of the energy grade line (offten the slope of the channel bottom), dimensionless KEY CONCEPTS: Hydraulic Radius: Measures how efficiently a channel conveys flow; it is the ratio of area to wetted perimeter. Roughness Coefficient Depends on the channel material (e.g. concrete, gravel. vegetation). Channel Slope: Influences the driving force of the flow. For a partially full pipe, the area and wetted perimeter are found by taking half the width of the bead of flow as T/2 A=d 2(20-sin(2))/8 where: d = diameter of the pipe, in feet 0 = radians from the angle as follows : P=0d Flow is adjusted based on the speed of the pipe at the judgment of the engineer. Slope for 8" pipe is assumed to be 0.4 %. Pipes with flow increases from the previous manhole of 2" or greater are candidates for closer inspection (CCTV).

Amanda L. Askew, AICP , Neig~borhoods Departm ent Director , an ~V\., Donn a Bartl e, MMC, City Clerk /f6fo January 15 , 2026 January 26 , 2026 BACKGROUND: The City of Atlantic Beach Code of Ordinances currently contains fees and charges that are di sper sed across multiple chapters and section s. This structure has resulted in administrative inefficiencies and ha s made it more difficult for staff and the public to easily locate and understand applicable fees. To impro ve clarity, transparency , and efficiency, the City seeks to relocate existing fees from variou s sect ion s of the Code into a s ingle, centralized location within Chapter 2 as those section s are amended and updated . This approach will pro vi de a consistent and streamlined framework for future fee adjustments. Additionally, severa l ex isting fee schedules ha ve not been updated for an extended period. Specifically, the fees and charges related to public record s contained in Section 2-368 have not been adjusted s ince 2002. Staff des ire s to update these fees to the maximum amounts authorized under Florida Statutes Chapter 119 to e nsure compliance with state law and to better recover associated administrative costs. The Building Divi s ion fee schedule was la st updated in 2009. O ver time, the cost of providing building permit reviews , in spections, re-in spection s, and administrative serv ices ha s increased. The current fee structure is no longer s ufficient to fully cover the costs associated with the se essential function s. Staff presented thi s ordinance for di sc uss ion at the January 12 Commission meeting ; however, no comments or feedback were received from the Commission at that time. Thi s ordinance does not require a bu siness impact state ment. BUDGET: RECOMMENDATION: ATT ACHMENT(S): None Approve Ordinance No. 5-26-74 for first read.
