Public Utilities Sewer - 2021Sewer Utility Fund
Purpose:
The Sewer Collection and Sewer Treatment Divisions operate and maintain wastewater collection, transmission and treatment facilities. These facilities include the treatment plant, reclaimed
water facilities, lift stations, force mains, gravity mains, services, and the effluent pumping system and outfall force mains which discharge to the St. Johns River. Biosolids, the
treated product of wastewater treatment, are disposed of at Trail Ridge Landfill.
Key Objectives:
To protect the environment and the public health by maintaining compliance with local, state and federal regulatory requirements
To maintain and improve facilities and equipment to extend the life of the system
To rehabilitate the sewer collection system as recommended in the Capital Improvement Program outlined in the Sewer Master Plan Update
To protect the system by continually updating sewer maps and data using the GIS system
To operate and maintain the system as efficiently as possible to ensure the rates paid by our customers remain some of the lowest in the region.
To beneficially reuse treated effluent by providing reclaimed water for irrigation.
Issues, Trends and Highlights:
Reclaimed water facilities are under construction. The City will be providing reclaimed water for golf course and residential irrigation
New DEP Permit conditions include a phosphorus limit which may require some plant modifications
