Springs - Pasco County Septic Tank Abatement Feasibility Study in the Weeki Wachee
Springshed
Type 2 Multi-Year Contract: No
FY2018
Description
Feasibility study on the sewer system expansions necessary to take 3,000 residential septic
tanks offline in the Weeki Wachee Springshed.
Description:
The contractual Measurable Benefit will include the completion of a feasibility study that
identifies projects to convert from septic systems to a central sewer system within the Weeki
Wachee Springshed.
Measurable Benefit:
Total project cost: $500,000 (Feasibility study)
Pasco County: $250,000
District: $0
FDEP: $250,000 requested in FY18, and $59,550,000 anticipated to be requested in future
years. The conceptual construction cost estimate is $119,100,000.
Costs:
Evaluation
Application Quality: Application included most of the required information identified in the CFI guidelines.
District staff had to work with cooperator to obtain remaining required information .
Medium
The benefit of this water quality project will be the identification of projects for
implementation of reducing septic systems in the Weeki Wachee River springshed , a
SWIM priority water body, and Aripeka Springshed. If a central sewer program is fully
implemented, approximately 47,000 lbs/yr of total nitrogen could be eliminated from
the springshed.
Project Benefit: High
Study costs are high when compared to similar projects such as N771 (Hernando
County Advanced Wastewater Treatment Master Plan Feasibility Study).
Cost Effectiveness: Low
Past Performance: Based on an assessment of schedule and budget for 12 ongoing projects.High
Complementary Efforts: Pasco County currently has a reclaimed water system includes metering and incentive
based reuse rate structure for high volume water users and has pro-active reclaimed
water expansion policies which maximize utilization, water resource benefits and
environmental benefits.

and implement programs, projects and regulations to maintain and improve water
quality.
Northern Region Priority: Improve northern coastal spring systems.
Overall Ranking and Recommendation
This project is a study to take septic tanks offline, which would improve springshed water quality
for the Weeki Wachee River, a SWIM priority waterbody and Outstanding Florida Water
System, and the Aripeka springshed. Recommend forwarding to FDEP for funding consideration
