BACKGROUND:
Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) No. 3 is the wastewater treatment facility located at 3100 SW 67th Avenue. The plant is permitted for an annual average daily flow (AADF) of four million gallons per day (MGD) under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Permit FLA190268-017.

With anticipated growth in the service area, the City is evaluating options to expand the facility. The City has tasked McKim & Creed, Inc., with preparing a Conceptual Engineering Report (CER) that includes conceptual layouts and an engineer's probable construction cost for expanding WRF No. 3 to an AADF of eight MGD.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

The CER will present conceptual site layouts and construction cost opinions for the recommended improvements. In coordination with City staff, the CER will evaluate two alternatives: (1) expanding the facility using the existing treatment processes, and (2) expanding the facility using alternative treatment technologies. The CER's purpose is to define and support the development of the capital improvement projects required ...
