RESOLUTION 22-21, A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AMENDING AND INCREASING THE 2020/2021 STORM WATER UTILITY
FUND #403 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING FUND BALANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $2715982.00
TO FUND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
During Summer 2020 the Village received an extremely high quantity and intensity of rainfall (over 20
inches of rainfall during a 2-week period) that overwhelmed several stormwater systems throughout
the Village. The tremendous amount of precipitation over a short period of time saturated local soils
and mobilized the sandy soils surrounding failing stormwater pipes creating voids that resulted in the
closure of roadways and sidewalks as well and depressions within Village right-of-ways and on
private property. The pipe failures were primarily found to be in galvanized corrugated metal piping
(CMP) installed during the 1970's.
In response, an emergency stormwater repair project was completed to return the affected areas of
the Village to normal. Following up on these events Utilities staff completed inspections of the
stormwater collection system, focusing on areas with older, outdated piping that has exceeded its
service life. As a result of these inspections 44 additional segments of stormwater piping, totaling
nearly 5,200 feet, have been identified as in various stages of failure. Because these inspections
were completed, and failed piping identified, after submission of the FY21 capital improvements
budget last summer the funding to complete the needed repairs was not included in the FY21 budget.
Due to the community risks associated with these failed stormwater pipes a budget amendment is
requested to appropriate $271,982.00 from fund balance with the Stormwater Enterprise Fund.
