1 Mark Elsner Administrator, Water Supply Development Section Mark Elsner Administrator, Water Supply Development Section WateReuse Florida - Fit For A Purpose Workshop November 9, 2015 P ANEL D ISCUSSION : I MPLEMENTING A P LAN TO E XPAND R EUSE

2 SFWMD’ S R EUSE H ISTORY

3 Reuse and disposal in SFWMD High reuse in CFWI and Lower West Coast areas Lower reuse in the southeast, especially Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties

4 R EUSE BY R EGION Close to 100% reused Newer development, increased efficiency 30-50% reuse Transitional, regionalization 4-7% reuse Older, urban, coastal wastewater systems Ocean outfall legislation

5 Boca Raton – 10 MGD O CEAN O UTFALL L EGISLATION 2008 legislation requires utilities with ocean outfalls to reuse 60 percent of discharge by 2025 Required water reuse by county: Palm Beach: 14 MGD Broward: 44 MGD Miami-Dade: 117 MGD Lake Okeechobee Palm Beach Broward Miami-Dade So. Central Regional – 13 MGD Broward Co. North – 37 MGD Hollywood – 40 MGD Miami-Dade North – 81 MGD Total Reuse Required = 175 MGD Miami-Dade Central – 115 MGD 2003-2007 Flows

6 Boca Raton U PDATE - O CEAN O UTFALLS Lake Okeechobee Palm Beach Broward Miami-Dade So. Central Regional Broward Co. North Hollywood Miami-Dade Increase irrigation Recharge Floridan Aquifer? Increase irrigation FPL cooling water Recharge Floridan Aquifer?

7 B ROWARD -P ALM B EACH C OUNTY C OOPERATION Broward County Required to reuse water per the Ocean Outfall Program Limited demand for reuse in the area Palm Beach County Significant demand for reuse in south county Currently unable to service that area Joint project to maximize reuse

8 Reuse Opportunities Help meet water use permit demands Aquifer recharge Saline intrusion barriers Industrial (cooling water) Environmental Required to reuse water per the Ocean Outfall Program Limited demand for reuse in the area

9 F UTURE FOR INCREASED USE OF RECLAIMED WATER AND STORMWATER Continue to increase public- access irrigation Aquifer recharge (RIBs and recharge wells) Saline intrusion barriers Power plant cooling Direct Potable Reuse might be challenging in water-rich areas
