Source Water and Water Treatment Plants North Service Area Expand North Lee WTP to 15 MGD Increase brackish groundwater supply Decommission Waterway Estates WTP Increase connectivity amongst service areas Olga Service Area Expand Olga WTP capacity to 10 mgd Improve river supply with ASR (limitations w/2 ASRs) Introduce brackish groundwater supply

Source Water and Water Treatment Plants (Cont) South Service Area Replace Green Meadow 9 mgd with new 14 mgd WTP Maintain capacity at Corkscrew and Pinewoods WTPs Increase treated water ASRs (success at Corkscrew w/5 ASRs) Investigate groundwater to groundwater ASR Investigate connectivity with other raw water supplies Increase connectivity amongst service areas Distribution Connectivity – 29 identified major pipeline projects

Wastewater Service Improvements Three Oaks Service Area Decommission San Carlos WWTP and convey flow to Three Oaks WWTP Expand Three Oaks WWTP or consider a new regional WWTP Waterway Estates Service Area and High Point Service Area Decommission both WWTP’s Convey wastewater flow to North Fort Myers FGUA service area North Fort Myers FGUA Service Area Purchase North Fort Myers FGUA Expand WWTP capacity

Reclaimed Water West (Fort Myers Beach/Fiesta Village) Service Area Deep Injection Well to eliminate river discharge from Fiesta Village WWTP Reclaimed Water ASR/DIW for seasonal water management Interconnecting pipeline between facilities to optimize reclaim utilization Three Oaks Service Area Develop supplemental supply for reclaimed water system to better meet demand during dry season(under design) System-wide 82% reclaimed utilization of WWTP effluent Continue to seek strategic opportunities to offset potable water demand

Next Steps Further study storage options to maximize offset of potable water through reliable reclaim water system to further reduce disposal of this commodity. Maximize benefit of alternative water sources and reclaimed water for overall water management Beyond disposal of reclaimed water Find the best “value” residential, industrial, recreational direct offset of potable water Land use and construction regulations in new development to enhance stormwater retention and Florida-friendly landscape
