TMDL Project Description•Consolidating two wastewater treatment plants to a single plant•Transferring flow from smaller plant with limited space and aging metal tanks to main plant with
newer, large concrete tanks that could be modified for nitrogen removal•Used directional drilling technology for force main installation to avoid environmental damage and neighborhood
disruption•Installing state-of-the-art equipment for electrical efficiency •Included more efficient, effective sludge treatment and odor control
TMDL Construction Cost Savings•SJRWMD Grant of $1,000,000•Other funding with State Revolving Fund Loan with much lower interest rates•Received excellent construction prices due to bidding
while the market was right•Major equipment procurement process resulted in excellent pricing for equipment
TMDL Operational Cost Savings•Consolidating treatment plants results in more efficient operations and cost savings•New equipment is much more efficient, resulting in electrical savings•Estimated
operational savings is $340,000/year•Pro-rated savings in FY12 Budget is approximately $110,000.•New sludge treatment process will result in major savings in tipping fees if implemented
by COJ
Water Master Plan Status•Some recommended projects have been delayed due to reduced funding, but progress still being made. Since the 2001 Plan we have:▫Interconnected the Buccaneer
& Atlantic Beach Water Systems▫Added a 300,000 gallon elevated storage tank at Water Plant #2▫Replaced old cast iron water mains with new PVC mains in several areas of the City▫Updated
the Water Distribution System Model in 2007.▫Constructed a new well and rehabilitated another well.
Water Master Plan Future Issues•Continue with Well Evaluation, Rehabilitation, Replacement •Continue replacing aging or undersized water mains•Many major problem areas are complete.
Fewer water breaks, combined with sewer rehabilitation improvements have reduced emergency issues. Staff suggested a reduction of one field position by not replacing a retiring employee.
Water Loss•Enhanced meter replacement program in FY11. Analysis of a small sample indicated approximate 5% payback.•Accelerating program in FY12 to approximately 800 meters ($74,000)•Will
continue with annual leak detection and large meter testing and repair
Water Capital Items for FY12•Interior rehabilitation of elevated tank at Water Plant #1 -$40,000•Interior rehabilitation of ground storage tank at Water Plant #2 -$40,000•Recoat both
ground storage tanks at Water Plant #3 -$60,000•Replace old water mains on 12thSt. between Ocean Blvd. & Beach Ave. and on Ocean Blvd. between 14thand 16thStreets -$200,000
2006 Sewer Master Plan Status•Recommended lift station improvements have been completed (Lift Station E at 799 Mayport Rd. and Mimosa Cove Lift Station in FY10).•Sewer rehabilitation
in much of the Atlantic Beach system has been completed.•Grant funding has paid for sewer rehabilitation in the Salt Air area, and another project being bid in the Donner Subdivision.
