  1. Status of Regional Water Supply Plan Updates John Mulliken Director, Planning Division Water Supply Department Water Resources Advisory Commission January 5, 2006

  2. Today’s Topics • Where we are • Status of Senate Bill 444 Implementation • Next Steps

  3. Kissimmee Basin Upper East Coast LowerWest Coast LowerEast Coast FourWater Supply Plan Regions

  4. Percent Increase Population -2005 to 2025

  5. Population by Region 2025 Total Population = 10.3 Million 2025 Total PWS Demand = 1.9 BGD

  6. New Requirements Senate Bill 444 changed role of regional water supply plans • Requires specific water supply “project” proposals versus menu of “source” options • Increased annual alternative water supply funding • Funding tied to water supply plans • Links local government comprehensive plans to specific projects in water supply plans

  7. Why Alternative Water Supplies? • Proactive approach to meet future water needs • Reduce potential impacts on natural resources • Traditional sources limited • Need for wastewater disposal

  8. Implementing SB 444 • Water Supply Plans to be updated by July 2006 • No new computer modeling • Separate processes project proposals • Current fiscal year (Board approved FY 06 project grants in October • Remainder of 20-year planning period (proposals still being sought for inclusion in plans)

  9. FY 2006 Alternative Water Supply Funding District Funds AWS on-going projects $ 6.6M WR Development (supporting AWS) $ 9.3M Water Conservation $ 1.7M AWS New Construction $13.1M District Total $30.7M State Funds (SB444) $30.0M FY2006 AWS Funding $60.7M

  10. Water Supply Plans seeking Project Proposals • Plans must include enough projects to meet projected demands in 2025 • Request for future project proposals widely circulated starting in September • Initial submittal date extended to mid-November due to Hurricane Wilma • Workshops held in each planning region • Still accepting proposals

  11. Alternative Water Supply Funding Future Years • Annual State Funding and District match total $36 million • Some District match for supporting programs • 80% of funding reserved for projects listed in water supply plans • Listing of projects in plans does not guarantee funding • Annual funding determined by Governing Board

  12. Future Projects Proposals Received • 313 projects submitted to date • 106 Lower East Coast (LEC) • 93 Lower West Coast (LWC) • 44 Upper East Coast (UEC) • 70 Kissimmee Basin (KB)

  13. Public water supply response • 57% of utilities* responded to date • Utilities without proposals (yet) • Lower East Coast (LEC) 24 • Lower West Coast (LWC) 4 • Upper East Coast (UEC) 3 • Kissimmee Basin (KB) ZERO! • Total 31 * 1 MGD and above

  14. Observations • Mixed response from utilities • FPL participation – five proposals • Generic agricultural proposal by DACS for each plan • Further work needed before accurate roll-up will be available

  15. On-going analyses • Does project meet the definition of an alternative water supply? • How much of “new” water is potable or makes another source available? • Will potable volumes of proposed projects meet projected demands? • Will non-potable supplies meet future irrigation, industrial and other demands?

  16. Key Activities • Work with water suppliers who haven’t submitted projects • Work with water providers to address any identified shortfalls • Define linkage between planning and permitting • Finalize planning-level methodology to review projects for statutory and District requirements • Develop implementation screening process for annual funding recommendations to Governing Board

  17. Key Milestones • Regional workshops: Sept.- Dec. 05 • Draft future project lists: Jan. 06 • Plan review workshops: Feb.-Apr. 06 • Governing Board approval: July 2006
