Motivation for the Project To protect the water quality of our lakes.
Critical to survival of the lake. Already failing & potential failure of older wastewater
systems which degrade surface and groundwater. Central system ensures no water quality degradation
from on-site systems. To protect or increase the value of our property.
Quality lake water ensures recreation value. Central system will be appealing to future property
owners. Improve aesthetic appeal of property by eliminating
mounds. Provide safe drinking water.
Pelican Group of Lakes Improvement DistrictMotivation for the Project
Offer a solution to problems associated with drain fields (ie.) lack of land, mounds, etc.
Running out of room for drain fields. Many have to purchase additional back-lots for drain
fields.
Offer a more convenient & efficient system. Less individual maintenance. Can install both systems at one time cheaper than
installing them separately.

Pros of Central System
Improves overall quality of environment & water.
Increases property value. 50-100 year life expectancy. Less individual maintenance (ie.)
will include a softening & treatment system – saves money.
No concerns with drinking water or problems with staining laundry.
Cheaper to construct two systems at the same time.
Cons of Private Systems
Concerns with older systems & potential for failure.
Decreases aesthetic quality of property (ie.) mounds or little room for expansion.
20 year life expectancy. High cost of individual
maintenance (ie.) replacing pumps, salts, softeners, electricity, screens, drilling, draining, lack of room,etc. – hidden or forgotten costs.

Wastewater Facility Plan Low Pressure Collection System
Individual, Grinder Pump Stations. Directional boring capability reduces surface
disruption. Cheaper than a gravity system.
Stabilization Pond System Proven, effective treatment technology. Treated water will be land applied via spray irrigation. System with least environmental impact. Lower operations, maintenance, & replacement costs.

Water System Plan Water Supply
Deep, Municipal-style Wells. Treatment System
Soften and remove iron & manganese. Gravity-type filtration plant.
Storage 250,000 gallon ground storage tank.
