1.0 INTRODUCTION

~' The purpose of the City of Davenport's Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) is to identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new development within the local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., requires local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its update. The Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) updated their regional water sup.ply plan for the Central and Southern Regions of the District and it was approved by the District Governing Board on November 30, 2006. Therefore, the local governments located in the Central and Southern Region (includes Davenport) must therefore prepare their 10-year water supply facilities work plans and update their comprehensive plans.

Residents of the City of Davenport obtain their water directly from the City of Davenport's Utility Department, which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for existing and future customers.

The City of Davenport's Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) will reference the initiatives already identified in the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan, a SWFWMD co-funded report identifying existing and new alternative water supply sources needed to meet the future potable water and non-potable water demands of the various public utility systems within Polk County. According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and

.~ the comprehensive plan amendment must address the development of traditional and ~ alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs

that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year planning period. This work plan includes data and analysis over a 20-year period to the year 2030.

The City's Work Plan is divided into four sections and one attachment:

Section 1 — Introduction Section 2 — Background Information Section 3— Data and Analysis Section 4— Work Plan Projects/Capital Improvement Element/Schedule Attachment "A" — Proposed Goals, Objectives, Policies

1.1 Statutory History

The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, and 2005 sessions to address the state's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005 legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.) by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between the local

~. land use planning and water supply planning.

EXHIBIT "A"

1.2 Statutory Requirements

, Each local government must comply with the following requirements:

1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S:]

2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted to the Department for review. The submitted package must also include an amendment to the Capital Improvements Element, if necessary, to demonstrate that adequate public facilities will be available to serve the proposed Future Land Use Map modification.

3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing a certificate of occupancy, and having consulted with the applicable water supplier prior to approving a building permit js.163.3180 (2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. This "water supply concurrency" is now in effect, and local governments should be complying with the requirement for all new development proposals. In addition, local governments should update their comprehensive plans and land development regulations as soon as possible to address these statutory

_. requirements. The latest point at which the comprehensive plan must be revised to , reflect the concurrency requirements is at the time the local government adopts plan

amendments to implement the recommendations of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR).

4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element"), within 18 months after the water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to:

a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the local government from projects identified in the updated regional water supply plan, or the alternative project proposed by the local government under s. 373.0361(7), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.];

b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current and future water use demands within the local government's jurisdiction [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and

c. Include a water supply facilities work plan for at least a 10-year planning period for constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] Amendments to incorporate the water

,

supply facilities work plan into the comprehensive plan are exempt from the twice-a-year amendment limitation. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]

4 of 22

EXHIBIT "A"

5. Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water supply, reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during

~ ~ the five-year period.

6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan, the applicable District Water Management Plan, as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s.163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.]

If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years, the plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the exis#ing and projected water use demand for established planning period, considering the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167 (13), F.S.]

7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with applicable regional water supply plans and regional water supply authorities' plans. [s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.]

8. Address in the EAR, the extent to which the local government has implemented the 10-year water supply facilities work plan, including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine whether the identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands. [s.163.3191 (2)(1), F.S.]

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Overview

The City of Davenport is located in the northeastern portion of Polk County approximately 5 miles south of Interstate 4 and west of US 27, with a total population of 3,978 residents (SWFWMD 2007 Public Supply Per Capita Water Use Survey) within the City's Utility Service Area. The Orlando metropolitan area is 30 miles East of Davenport and the downtown Tampa business district is about 1 hours drive to the West along I-4. Two major highways access the City. US Highway 17/92 runs through the middle of the city limits and US Highway 27 runs along the western city limit boundary.

The City of Davenport is located within both the SWFWMD's regulatory boundary and the South Florida Water Management DistricYs boundary (SFWMD). Davenport's corresponding regulatory area includes the Central Florida Coordination Area (CFCA). The City of Davenport is bordered by the Polk County Utilities (PCU) and also bordered by the service area of the City of Haines City.

,~~ ` , 2.2 Relevant Regional Issues

As the state agency responsible for water supply in the area covering the City, the SWFWMD plays a pivotal role in resource protection, through criteria used for Consumptive Use Permitting. The City is located in an area designated by the SWFWMD as the Southern Water Use Caution Area (SWUCA). The SWFWMD defines a"water use caution area" as a region where water resources are or will become critical in the next 20 years. This means that groundwater may not be able to meet the future demands for the City and there is a need to investigate alternative water supplies.

Davenport is also located in an area designated as the Central Florida Coordination Area (CFCA). This includes areas of the Southwest Florida, South Florida, and St. Johns River Water Management Districts. The CFCA is an area designated as not a~le to sustain growth for the next 20 years through groundwater sources alone. Currently, rules developed for the SWUCA supersede the rules developed by CFCA.

3. DATA AND ANALYSIS

3.1 Population Information

,_ ~, The City's service area population in 2007 was reported as 3,978. Future population `, figures are derived from the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business

Research (BEBR). This data indicates by 2010, the City's population is anticipated to increase to 5,297; 2015 to 6,042; 2020 to 6,875; 2025 to 7,866; and 2030 to 9,286 (represents an increase of seventy-five percent over the 2007 population). The population increase. reflects the fact that much of the infrastructure has been installed for several planned developments and they are expected to continue to grow over the next 20 years despite the current stagnation in growth.

3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served

The following maps provide an understanding of current and future developments served by the City. Map 1 shows the city limits and the planned developments. The map was created for the City as a planning document. Map 2 shows the entire service area boundary for the City and was taken from the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan.

3.3 Potable Water Level of Service Standard

In 2007 the population was reported as 3,978 and the reported water demand was 0.531 million gallons per day (MGD). This equates to 133 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). In the 2009 SWFWMD survey of the City's water use, the measured use was 119 gpcd. The most recent Water Use Permit from the SWFWMD lists 149 gpcd as the basis for their calculations.

3.4 Population and Potable Water Demand Projections by Each Local Government or Utility

The table and graph ~n the following page were taken from the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan. The table provides the population projections through the year 2030 along with a projection of the water demand for the population. The graph illustrates the projected point at which groundwater alone will not be sufficient for the City's water demand.

,~ 3.5 Water Supply Provided by Local Government ~,

3.5.1 Water Use Permit

The SWFWMD issued WUP #20005750.007 to the City for the operation of three public supply wells that they own. The total quantity authorized is 1.002 MGD on an annual average and 1.756 MGD for a peak month. The City has flexibility in the quantity provided from each welL

As was shown in Figure 3-1, additional sources of water besides groundwater will be required by 2019. The Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan identifies transition of existing agricultural, commercial, or other form of land use wells to public supply over time to augment the current permitted amounts. The total amount to be transferred will be a portion of what is currently permitted and was estimated to be between 0.1 and 1.2 MGD.

3.5.2 Water Facilities

The City currently supplies water from an existing water plant located near the downtown area. This water plant has two wells designated as Well #1 and Well #3 in the WUP permit. Disinfection is provided by injection of sodium hypochlorite. The water is stored in ground storage tanks and pumped by high service pumps with variable frequency drives to meet a

,. pressure set-point for distribution to customers.

10 of 22

EXHIBIT "A"

~ The City is also finalizing a second water production facility that contains the third well in ~~ the WUP permit designated as Well #4. The new facility is located on the western side of

the city limits in the midst of the planned developments. The treatment and distribution facilities are similar in operation to the existing water plant. The new facility provides additional storage and the ability to accept water from the existing facility and repump for distribution as a booster station.

3.6 Water Supply Provided by Other Entities

The City does not have any existing agreements for bulk sales of water due to the adequate quantity of water permitted and supplied from their water plant. The Polk County Comprehensive Plan identifies potential sources for bulk sales agreements as an option fo~ future water supply and to delay the time when existing permi#ted quantities will be surpassed by demand. The City is actively pursuing agreements with Haines City to the south and Polk County Utilities to the north. An agreement with Haines City is expected to be finalized in the coming months.

3.7 Conservation

Several sources are available for information on conservation plans. The Polk County Comprehensive Plan reviewed available sources and prepared a specific analysis for the

, City of Davenport. The following section is from the report and contains the table labeled ~ Table 3.7.1 with estimated water savings.

(Source - Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan):

The ability to quantify conserved water is critical when developing a comprehensive regional water supply plan. The objective of this portion of the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan was to identify potential, quantifiable impacts on potable water consumption for various water conservation methods if applied to the specific local governments located within Polk County.

Prior to the detailed evaluation of potential conservation measures, several relevant studies were examined in detail, including:

♦ Southwest Florida Water Management DistricYs - 2006 Regional Water Supply Plan ♦ Tampa Bay Water - Compilation of Members' Five Year Conservation Plans

~ 2005 Heartland Water Alliance — Phase I; II & III Water Supply Plan

♦ 2007 Polk County Local Governments Utilities — Phase I& II County Wide Water Supply Plan.

11 of 22

EXHIBIT "A"

~~ These studies aided the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan Team in '' developing a list of conservation methods for further evaluation and consideration

(PCCWSP Appendix A). The list consisted of many conservation approaches utilized by a wide range of utilities. From the list of conservation items, several projects were selected to undergo more detailed analyses based on permitability, additional benefit, implementation time, cost effectiveness, water savings and the ability to quantify future savings.

Potential conservation measures were evaluated for individual water savings potential and cost effectiveness. It is noteworthy that the majority of these conservation projects, even though implemented by the municipality; are only realized through voluntary participation. The voluntary nature of these measures was addressed through the inclusion of individual participation factors, which •were customized to the communities and the specific conservation program. From this evaluation, specific conservation measures for each local government's utility service area were selected for the detailed analysis. Through the efforts of this study, the estimated quantity of water savings for the City of Davenport could potentially be as much as 0.082 MGD, based on an assumed average participation rate of 23 percent (SWFWMD, 2009). Apparently, if higher participation rates are achieved, additional water savings can be realized.

~~ 3.8 Reuse

~ State law supports reuse efforts. Section 373.250(1) F.S. provides that "water reuse programs designed and operated in compliance with Florida's rules governing reuse are deemed protective of public health and environmental quality." In addition, Section 403.064(1), F.S., provides that "reuse is a critical component of ineeting the state's existing and future water supply needs while sustaining natural systems."

The City currently operates a wastewater treatment plant. It is permitted to treat up to .150 MGD of wastewater and operating at an average of 0.040 MGD. The current permitted effluent disposal method is discharge to rapid infiltration basins. As the population increases and wastewater flows increase, the effluent could be used for potable water offset. The estimated wastewater flow for 2030 based on the population projections is over 0.70 MGD and it is anticipated that a portion ~f this would be available for potable water offset. Potential uses are public access areas, residential irrigation, agricultural irrigation, industrial, or commercial non-potable uses.

4.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

4.1 Capitallmprovements

At the present time the City of Davenport does not have plans for expansion of its water system. The City maintains a budget for restoration and rehabilitation of aged equipment

~- and pipelines. Upon the completion of the second water plant it is not anticipated that ~- additional facilities will need to be constructed to maintain the level of service. New

developments are required to provide pipelines for connection to the City's system. Pipelines for the developments depicted in Map 1 have already been constructed.

4.2 Water Supply Options

The City will continue to monitor for the potential to create new groundwater supplies from retired agricultural WUPs as agricultural lands are developed. The City will continue to participate in conservation programs including inverted rate structure and plumbing and irrigation restrictions. The City abides by the watering restrictions set forth by the SWFWMD and enforces these restrictions through the Regulations enforcement/police department.

The following table from the Polk County Comprehensive Water Supply Plan summarizes the anticipated water supply deficit in 2030 and the options available specifically to the City of Davenport for meeting the future demands. As stated previously, the City is actively pursuing bulk agreements with neighboring municipalities to ensure supply and reliability for their system although no bulk agreements are identified in the table.

(1) Projections provided by SWFWMD (March 2009) (2) The range of water demand reduction quantities for conservation were estimated as part of the 2009 Polk Counry Comprehensive Water Supply Plan by utilizing a variety of programs with participation rates varying from 5% to 75%. The estimated water supply quantity, as shown in the table above, is based on an assumed overall participation rate of 23% (3) The range of water demand reduction quantities for reclaimed water were calculated using the SWFWMD Population Projections Multiplied by 84 gpcd. The eslimated water supply quantiry, as shown in the table above, is based on the assumption that the p~ojected increase in wastewater will be used to offset future potable water demands with a 50% efficiency rate. (4) The range of water supply quantities which may be obtained from land use transitions were calculated using a range of 5% to 50% of the current permitted agricultural, mining, industrial/commercial wells in the service area. The estimated water supply quantity, as shown in the table above, was calculated based on an assumed value of 15% of the permitted quantity would transition based on historical trends of land (5) The range of water supply quantities for Lower Floridan Blending were calculated using a range of 5% to 20% of the current permitted capacity and assumed Lower Floridan Aquifer quality. The estimated water supply quantity, as shown in the table above, was assumed to be 10% of the current permitted supply quantity for the service azea.

(6) Specific water supply quantities for regional sources for this service area have not been determined at this time.

5.0 Alternative Water Supply Projects

There are limited options for altemative water supply that exist within the Central Florida "Heartland" region. As a non~oastal area, desalination of salt water is not an option. Aquifer storage recovery is still somewhat experimental and is cost prohibitive for small communities. The any savings or conservation in Davenport's current water supply system well be based on a combination of the several project options, such as, the conversion of agricultural wells; the requirement for all new development to utilize Xeriscape Florida Friendly drought tolerant and native plantings landscaping techniques, water conserving plumbing fixtures, and efficient irrigation s~ystem design and the potential for a reclaimed watersystem in thefuture.
