City of Atlantic Beach
Potential water and sewer extension into Neptune Beach
Timeline and Summary
June 2023
(Some information in this report was provided by the City of Neptune Beach.)
TimPlinP
August 2022
Prosser, an engineering consultant to the developer of 500 Atlantic Blvd., approached the City of Atlantic
Beach Public Utilities Department with an email request to provide water and sewer service to the
development. Public Utilities Department personnel advised Prosser that the first step would be to
determine the technical feasibility of providing service. The feasibility analysis would include the
researching the ability to provide adequate water to meet the projected demands without negatively
impacting existing customers or the potable water system as a whole.
October 2022
At a cost to the City of Atlantic Beach of $2,500, Collins & Associates completed a technical feasibility
analysis regarding COAB's ability to provide potable water and sewer service to 500 Atlantic. The purpose
of doing this, which is typical for any large commercial request of service, was to provide data to the City and to
developer that would be helpful in making decisions moving forward.
December 2, 2022
The Neptune Beach City Manager advised in a memo that the City of Neptune Beach does not have the capacity
to provide water and sanitary sewer service to 500 Atlantic. The Neptune Beach City Manager further stated
that the City of Neptune Beach does not object to the City of Atlantic Beach providing those services to the
property. Here is the memo.
December 20, 2022
Prosser subsequently prepared two conceptual utility exhibits for the City of Atlantic Beach's review and
consideration. Here are Prosser's memorandum, Potable exhibit and sanitary exhibit.
April 17, 2023
The Neptune Beach City Council adopted a resolution requesting the City of Atlantic Beach to permit connection
for fire suppression purposes for the adjoining development at 572 Atlantic Blvd., where the new Publix is
located.
April -June 2023
COAB emphasized to COAB that in order for COAB to consider a request to extend water and sewer utilities to
Neptune Beach, a proposed tri -party agreement would have be drafted, vetted by COAB's staff and attorneys,
and executed first by CONB and the developer.
Summary
1
572 Atlantic Blvd.
Overview
While the City of Neptune Beach (CONB) has supplied potable water and sewer service, as well as fire protection,
to 572 Atlantic Blvd. in the past, their potable water distribution system is currently unable to the flow and
pressure requested by the developer for fire protection. Neighbors' complaints about the water tank prompted
CONB representatives to begin discussing the matter with City of Atlantic Beach (COAB) representatives. CONB
desires for COAB to provide fire flow to 572 Atlantic. This would not occur until after the 500 Atlantic Blvd.
development was connected to the COAB potable water distribution system. Connecting 572 Atlantic Blvd. to
this system will enable the water tank to be removed. COAB has informed CONB that such a request would be
dependent on the execution of a tri -party agreement between COAB, CONB and the developer for potable
water and sewer service, paid for by the developer, to 500 Atlantic. The proposed fire flow connection to 572
Atlantic Blvd. would result no demand on the COAB potable water system unless a fire occurred.
500 Atlantic Blvd.
Overview
CONB also is considering requesting through a tri -party agreement that COAB provide potable water and sewer
services to the proposed 500 Atlantic Blvd. development. The potable water COAB and CONB provides its
customers comes from the same aquifer, and both cities' utilities are permitted and regulated by St. Johns River
Water Management District. Both utilities have sufficient permit capacity to serve 500 and 572; the issue for
CONB is that its piping grid is insufficient to provide the needed water to 500. CONB's goal is for its utilities to
serve the needs of everyone in its community; as such, CONB is reviewing the hydraulic model created by 1EA
to understand what piping improvements would be required, estimated costs, and construction timelines.
Demand
The developer of 500 Atlantic provided a maximum potable water demand estimate of 88,200 gallons per day
(gpd). COAB pumps an average of and average 2.4 million gpd from the Floridan aquifer and is permitted through
2039 to pump up to 3.75 million gpd. The developer's request represents approximately 3.5% of COAB's current
demand and about 2.3% of COAB's overall permitted pumping capacity. COAB currently has the capability to
pump over 6 million gpd. With respect to impacts to the Floridan aquifer, it makes no difference whether the
potable water provided to 500 Atlantic comes from COAB or CONB; the cities draw our water from the same
source. There is adequate water to meet COAB's future needs, in any case. Adding the proposed 500 Atlantic
water demand would not increase stress on COAB's system, especially since WTP No. 1 is currently undergoing
a modernization project and WTP No. 2 is scheduled to be upgraded next year. Between the three potable water
plants, COAB has the ability to pump over 6 million gallons per day.
System development fee
500 Atlantic would be required to pay a substantial system development charge, estimated to be $276,783, an
would be charged for monthly water and sewer use.
2
r
Tri -party agreement
The agreement will be between the developer, COAB and CONB. The developer will pay for the infrastructure
work required to connect the development to the COAB water and sewer system. If the developer goes out of
business, the water meter serving the development will be removed and there will be no demands on our
system until a new owner requests service.
Benefits
Providing water and sewer service to 500 Atlantic will not affect rates. In fact, the addition of 500 Atlantic will
result in the developer paying significant system development charges that will help offset the cost of water
treatment plant modernization projects that are currently under way.
• 2030 Comprehensive Plan: The City shall coordinate and cooperate with adjacent jurisdictions, other public
an governmental agencies to ensure: 1) the equitable and reasonable sharing of authority, responsibility
and resources in the provision of services, education and housing, 2) the provision for effective development
review and permitting, and 3) the effective representation on behalf of the City in decisions related to future
growth management, planning and funding resources.
• Intergovernmental cooperation is a valuable tool that helps local governments improve the efficiency,
quality, and responsiveness of their services. Enhanced problem -solving capacity also helps address complex
problems. Here are some specific examples:
o Stormwater management. COAB stormwater runs off into Hopkins Creek, which flows into Neptune
Beach.
o Sewage. JEA'S sewer collects and treats COAB wastewater.
o Public parking. CONB administers North Beaches Parking on COAB's behalf.
o Beaches Town Center. The two cities collaborate to maintain, improve the shared restaurant and
shopping amenity, and conduct community events.
o Atlantic Boulevard median. Shared COAB-CONE maintenance agreement.
o Public safety mutual aid. Most recently, CONB provided police coverage during COAB's personnel
shortage.
o Emergency management. Duval County's cities collaborate year-round, along with during and after
hurricanes and other emergencies.
o Fire protection. Interlocal agreement with the City of Jacksonville.
o Problem -solving. COAB is providing critical information -technology consultation to CONE.
• _Revenue. The 25% monthly service fees charged to customers outside of the city augments the fees COAB
receives from customers within the city limits to help finance and operate the infrastructure COAB needs to
assure, modern, reliable and environmentally sustainable water and wastewater treatment systems. Much
of the COAB water and sewer system is of advanced age and fees collected from 500 Atlantic would be
utilized as prioritized by the City's capital improvement plan where necessary throughout our system for
rehabilitation and replacement of water and sewer pipelines and improvements at our treatment facilities.
These fees will also be utilized to augment funds required for system operation and maintenance.
If CONB makes the request and it is denied, developer may opt to reassess the scale of the proposed
3
r
t
redevelopment of the 500 Atlantic project or delay construction until CONB can provide service.
Precedent
COAB bought the Buccaneer Service District, which is outside of the city limits, a number of years ago. JEA
provides water and sewer service in Mayport Village. However, JEA pumps wastewater to our system for
treatment under agreement where JEA pays us for service. In the late 1980s, we also had an agreement
between the developer, COAB and CONB to provide water and sewer service for a limited period of time to
the shopping center where the existing Publix is located. However, service by COAB was never required in
this instance.
Commission priority: Reduce residential water consumption
A COAB Commission priority is to reduce residential water consumption by 15%. Providing service to 500
Atlantic does not impact our efforts to reach that goal as this is a commercial demand.
Sewer discharge mandate
With respect to the state mandated zero discharge of treated wastewater to the St. Johns River by 2032,
the amount of wastewater expected to be produced by 500 Atlantic is an inconsequential increase in the
overall daily volume of wastewater treated by COAB and is not expected to measurably impact compliance
costs.

Joe and Kevin,
We heard that Mayor Ford was asking questions about uses tied to our utility request. It is detailed in the reports, but I
thought I would send you a quick summary for you to do with it as needed. Our utility request of 88,200 GPD was based
on about 225 hotel rooms, several restaurants and a brewery. Since we cannot solicit tenants without utilities, this is
subject to change to the allowable uses within the property zoning. Good luck!

Subject: Neptune Beach/Atlantic Beach - Water
[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Hi Jason,
Based on misstatements circulating publicly, there appears to be confusion about Neptune Beach's
position regarding water needs with regard to Atlantic Beach. To clarify, I wanted to send something
over.
With regard to 500 Atlantic, Neptune Beach's position has been that it lacks capacity to serve the
proposed development and that it does not oppose Atlantic Beach servicing that development. If it is
determined at a future date that Neptune Beach can service the development and that Atlantic Beach
would not be required, we will advise you. Otherwise, if the project is developed such that water is
needed from Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach does not oppose that being provided by Atlantic Beach. We
understand that we would need to be a party to a tri -party agreement whereb Neptune Beach would
approve of such service. Neptune Beach is making no rma as egarding this project; the request is
from the developer based on their proposed needs.
Regarding 572 Atlantic, Neptune Beach has made an affirmative ask. To resolve the issues relating to the
construction of a water tank for fire suppression purposes on that property, the developer and Neptune
Beach entered into an agreement to seek a connection to the proposed 500 Atlantic connection across
Atlantic Boulevard. Accordingly, to the extent the 500 Atlantic connection is ultimately made, Neptune
Beach requests that Atlantic Beach permit the 572 Atlantic owner to connect to the connection solely
for fire suppression purposes.
I hope this helps clarify any ambiguities, but if there are any questions, please let me know.
Best,
Zach Roth

Comments on 500 Atlantic Water & Sewer Questions
Green = CONB comments
Blue = COAB comments
How did this need for water come about? There have been businesses operating in
the Neptune Beach shopping center for decades, including several grocery stores. Why
is there currently a need for an increased supply of water?
This is a question of both potable and fire flow needs. Possibly the previous users of water at 500
Atlantic didn't need as much as the projected project. After working through zoning with CONB,
the developers approached COAB with a certain potable water demand that might need refining.
With respect to fire flow needs at 572 Atlantic, NFPA requirements have become more stringent
over the years. Once 572 was redeveloped, it became subject to those updated standards.
Did Neptune Beach study their existing water resources prior to approving the new
projects?
The developer planned a certain development. CONB approved the development under zoning
which is unrelated to utility service. When the developer requested a verification of utility
availability, that is when the inability to provide service was discovered, and they then approached
COAG.
There is a water tank behind the new Publix store which has caused some objection
from neighbors behind the shopping center. The City of Neptune Beach has promised
to remove it. Is this why they now need help from Atlantic Beach to Increase their
access to water?
Yes, the agreement is the tank comes down once the fire flow is secured from COAB via the pipe
to be built across Atlantic Boulevard by developers of 500. The fire flow connection is zero impact
to COAB ... unless there's a fire.
What exactly is Neptune Beach asking for? Just water for fire suppression for Publix and
the neighboring stores? Water for fire suppression plus everyday use for Publix and the
other stores? Water for fire suppression plus any everyday use for Publix, adjacent
stores and future projects that would be constructed on the Kmart section of the
shopping center? Are sewer services included in the request at any level?
CONB is supplying potable water and sewer service to 572. COAB would provide potable water and
sewer services to the proposed 500 Atlantic, thereby deriving revenue for its utility which has the
capacity to serve according to COAB. The potable water used by COAB and CONB comes from the
same aquifer, and both utilities are permitted and regulated by St. Johns River Water Management
District. Both utilities have sufficient permit capacity to serve 500 and 572, the issue for CONB is
that its piping grid is insufficient to provide the needed water to 500.
Is this an interim remedy for Neptune Beach's problem? Do they have plans for an
0
Infrastructure project that will provide water in the future? Would an agreement
between Atlantic and Neptune Beach have a sunset date or regular renewal periods?
CONB's goal is for its utilities to serve the needs of everyone in its community. CONB is reviewing
the hydraulic model created by JEA to understand what piping improvements would be required,
estimated costs and construction timelines.
If Atlantic Beach declines this agreement, does Neptune Beach have a Plan B to address its
need for water?
As noted previously, CONB's goal is to serve everyone in its community and is reviewing
infrastructure options.
What would be the actual usage request in numbers? How much water does Atlantic
Beach currently use per day and how much more would be needed to meet the Neptune
Beach request? What percentage of our water resources are they requesting?
The developer of 500 Atlantic is estimating their maximum demand at 88,200 gallons per day
(gpd). COAB currently pumps an average of 2.4 million gpd from the Floridan aquifer and is
permitted to pump up 3.75 million gpd. The developer's request represents approximately 3.5%
of our current demand and about 2.3% of our overall permitted pumping capacity. With respect to
impacts to the Floridan aquifer, it makes no difference whether the potable water provided to 500
Atlantic comes from COAB or CONB, we both draw our water from the same source.
There was a study performed by J. Collins regarding this water issue. Does the
information in the report add additional context to such an agreement? How much
has Atlantic Beach spent to date on studies or reports regarding this issue?
The work performed by J. Collins & Associates was strictly a technical feasibility analysis
regarding COAB's ability to provide potable water and sewer service to 500 Atlantic without
negatively impacting existing customers. Cost for this work was approximately $2,500.
If Atlantic Beach agrees to provide water to Neptune Beach, would there still be
adequate water to meet our future needs? Would this provide increased stress on
our current infrastructure? Would it affect our Atlantic Beach water/sewer rates?
There unequivocally is adequate water to meet our future needs. Our current
Consumptive Use Permit for water withdrawals, which is valid through 2039, allows us
to sustainably withdraw as much as 3.75 million gallons per day and our current
withdrawal rate is about 2.4 million gallons per day. Between COAB's three potable
water treatment plants, we have the ability to pump over 6 million gallons per day.
Adding the proposed 500 Atlantic water demand to our system will not increase stress
on our system, especially since WTP No. 1 is currently undergoing a modernization
2
proposed scale of redevelopment of the 500 Atlantic may have to be reassessed by the developer.
project and WTP No. 2 is scheduled to be upgraded next year.
Providing water and sewer service to 500 Atlantic will not affect our current rates. In
fact, the addition of 500 Atlantic will result in them paying $280,000 in system ,t
development charges that will help offset the cost of the planned work at the water v
treatment plants.
If Atlantic Beach agrees to provide water to Neptune Beach, would the agreement be
between the two cities or between Atlantic Beach and the developers/owners of the
Neptune Beach shopping center. Who would pay for the actual infrastructure work? What
would happen if the developers/owners go out of business?
The agreement will be between the developer, COAB and CONB. The developer will pay for the
infrastructure work required to connect the development to the COAB water and sewer system. If
the developer goes out of business, the water meter serving the development will be removed and
there will be no demands on our system until a new owner requests service and CONB is unable to
provide that service.
Is there any precedent for Atlantic Beach supplying water and sewer outside our city
limits, for example, the area along Mayport Road up to Mayport Village that is technically
the City of Jacksonville? How has that arrangement worked and has it provided any
benefit to Atlantic Beach?
The City bought the Buccaneer Service District, which is outside of the city limits, a number of
years ago. JEA provides water and sewer service in Mayport Village. However, JEA pumps
wastewater to our system for treatment under agreement where they pay us for service. In the ;
late 1980s, we also had an agreement between the developer, COAB and CONB to provide water
and sewer service for a limited period of time to the shopping center where the existing Publix is '
located. However, we do not believe service by COAB was ever provided as CONB was able to
extend service to the development.
The ability to provide these services outside of our city limits benefits Atlantic Beach by ensuring
that wastewater produced in our area is adequately treated and does not result in polluting the
marsh areas and also ensures that residents and businesses in our area have a clean, safe and
reliable source of potable water and fire protection. The system development charges applied to
new connections and the monthly service fees charged to customers outside of the city augments
the fees we receive from customers within the city limits to help us finance and operate, through
an economies of scale, the infrastructure we need to assure modern, reliable and environmentally
sustainable water and wastewater treatment systems.
In January 2023, the Commissioners of Atlantic Beach agreed on two priorities for this
year that pertain to water use. They are 1) to decrease overall water consumption in the
City; and, 2) to make progress toward the new state mandated net zero deposit of sewer
91
V4
discharge into the Intracoastal Waterway. Will providing water to Neptune Beach make
it more difficult for Atlantic Beach to advance these priorities?
The Commission priority is to reduce residential water consumption by 15%. Providing service
to 500 Atlantic does not impact our efforts to reach that goal as 500 Atlantic is a commercial
development. With respect to the state mandated zero discharge of treated wastewater to the
St. Johns River by 2032, the wastewater expected to be produced by 500 Atlantic is a small
incremental increase in the overall daily volume of wastewater treated by COAB.
Could an agreement of this type produce a new income stream for Atlantic Beach? What
could these new dollars be used for?
500 Atlantic will be required to pay a substantial system development charge and will be charged
for monthly water and sewer use plus a 25% surcharge, similar to our other existing customers
located outside of the city limits. This income stream will be utilized within the water and sewer
systems to fund operations and continued infrastructure improvements. Much of the COAB
water and sewer system is of advanced age and fees collected from 500 Atlantic will be utilized
as prioritized by our capital improvement plant where necessary throughout our system for
rehabilitation and replacement of water and sewer pipelines and improvements at our treatment
facilities. Monthly fees will also be utilized to augment funds required for system operation and
maintenance.
It seems like staff in both cities have been the ones studying and discussing this issue.
Why has it not been addressed in a significant way by the Atlantic Beach City
Commission?
When the City of Neptune Beach determined it could not adequately provide water and sewer
service to 500 Atlantic Beach, the City of Neptune Beach agreed to allow the developer to
approach the City of Atlantic Beach to provide the utilities. Current efforts, involving minimal staff
time, have been centered solely on the technical feasibility of providing service to 500 Atlantic. The
purpose of this effort was to inform the developer if their request was technically feasible (typical
effort for any large commercial request for service) and to be able to provide the Commission with
defensible data if and when an official request is made by CONB and the developer.
Mayors in our three beach cities often say we are three cities but one community. Is there
a fundamental reason for us to share our water with Neptune Beach? What will be the
impact on Atlantic Beach specifically and the community in general if we don't agree to
this request?
If our neighboring City has a need where COAB can assist without impacting our finances or
residents, it behooves us to at least consider the request (although a specific request has not been
made yet). If this request is not agreed to there will be no specific impact to COAB. However, the
