PURPOSES
Mid
The Village of Tequesta (Village) Utilities Department (UD) recommends the approval of a Facilities
Plan and the adoption of a resolution to formally accept the plan (Resolution 26-24). This step is a
critical requirement set forth by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the
Village to proceed with obtaining a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan. Approval of the Facilities Plan
enables the submission of projects through a "Request for Inclusion" form, ensuring the projects are
considered for funding under the SRF program. This process is essential for advancing the Village's
infrastructure initiatives and securing the necessary financial support for their implementation. The
required public meeting for this Facilities Plan was held Wednesday, December 11, 2024.
In April 2021 the Village Council approved Resolution No. 26-24 implementing a 5-year rate schedule
for potable water services. This rate schedule was based on a Revenue Sufficiency & Rate Analysis
Study (Rate Study) performed by Raftelis Financial Consultants. One of the major goals of the study
was to fully fund the large capital needs within the system outlined in the long-term capital
improvements (CIP) program, particularly the water main replacement program. This important goal is
accomplished through a combination of operating revenues (pay-go funding) and State Revolving
Fund (SRF) loans. The April 2021 Rate Study was updated in 2023 due to a significant increase in
the cost for CIP projects. At the July 2023 Council meeting, Council approved the recommendations
from the updated study: a rate true-up of an additional 5% beyond the approved annual rate indexing
and a monthly capital charge based on equivalent residential units and passed Resolution 14-23
approving the updated rates and fees schedule.
BACKGROUND ON FDEP SRF LOANS
Florida's SRF is comprised of three programs - Clean Water State Revolving Fund (wastewater &
stormwater projects), Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) and State Revolving Fund
Page 282 of 393
Agenda Item #19.
Management. Both the Clean Water and the Drinking Water SRF Programs are funded through
money received from federal grants as well as state contributions. These funds then "revolve" through
the repayment of previous loans and interest earned. The DWSRF Program provides low-interest
loans to local governments and private utilities to plan, design, and build or upgrade drinking water
systems. Interest rates on loans through the DWSRF are below market rates (discounted). The
DWSRF financing rate is determined using the Bond Buyer 20-Bond GO Index average market rate
for the full weeks occurring during the three months in the preceding fiscal quarter and applying that
average rate to a formula from the rule. There are up to 1.3 percent in additional rate reductions that
may be assessed based on Davis Bacon requirements, American Iron and Steel requirements,
implementation of an asset management plan, and construction of a water conservation project.
To qualify for the DWSRF Program, entities must submit a Request for Inclusion (RFI) to be
considered at one of the quarterly Priority List Public Meetings. One of the requirements to qualify for
the discounted loan program is the preparation and adoption of a Facilities Plan (a planning
document). In 2021, Holtz Engineering Consultants (Holtz) developed a Facilities Plan for the first
phase of projects (Water Main Replacement Projects 1 & 4) in accordance with the DWSRF Program
planning requirements. This agenda item is to approve the new Facilities Plan put together by Holtz
for the asbestos cement (AC) pipe replacement projects as identified in Kimley-Horn's (KH) May 2020
Facilities Assessment and the companion resolution, 26-24. An updated AC water main replacement
project map by KH is attached to this agenda item.
If approved, the Request for Inclusion Form, the 2024 Facilities Plan, design plans & specifications
and other documents will be submitted to the FDEP for consideration at the February 2025 Priority
List Public Meeting. The next AC pipe replacement project that UD anticipates bidding is for WM#2
Beach Rd Phase 2, which is fully designed.

Chapter 1.0 - Summary of Findings and Recommendations
This Water Facilities Plan was prepared for the Village of Tequesta to meet the requirements of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan funding of drinking water
systems. The Village of Tequesta (Village) is located in Palm Beach County and provides water service to the
Village's service area. Additionally, the Village has a service agreement with the Town of Jupiter Inlet Colony as
well an agreement for bulk water sale with South Martin Regional Utility via the Town of Jupiter Island. The Village
of Tequesta serves an estimated 13,550 resident population within its service area. Treated water is distributed
to approximately 5,106 accounts through approximately 72 miles of water mains. The Village of Tequesta's
average daily water demand is projected to be 3.79 million gallons per day(MGD) in the year 2045 which is below
the current permitted capacity of 6.3 MGD. The recommendations resulting from this study are consistent with
the Village's Comprehensive Plan.
The Village's distribution system consists of approximately 380,000 LF of pipe sized from 4 to 16 inches.The system
is comprised of asbestos cement (AC), ductile iron, PVC and HPDE pipe. The oldest sections of the distribution
system are primarily comprised of AC water mains and were installed in the 1950s. Over the past several years,
there have been a number of AC water main breaks within the service area. As the pipe in this area are between
the ages of 40 to 60 years and have exceeded their anticipated service life expectancy the Village is taking
proactive measures and implementing asbestos cement water main replacement projects to ensure the safe and
reliable means of providing potable water to their customers. A facilities assessment was completed in 2021
identifying approximately 137,000 linear feet of asbestos cement water main to be replaced located in 15 different
areas. One of the project areas has been completed.The Village intends on seeking SRF funding for the remaining
fourteen projects as each project design and permitting is completed. The total estimated cost for the entire AC
water main replacement program is currently estimated at$69,823,313.
The details of the capital costs are shown in Appendix A. The pledged revenue for debt payments are the water
charges by the Village of Tequesta. The SRF loan will be repaid in 40 semi-annual installments.

Chapter 2.0— Introduction
2.1 Background
The Village of Tequesta is located in northern Palm Beach County County, Florida along Florida's
East coast and is 18 miles north of West Palm Beach, Florida and 82 miles north of Miami, Florida.
Tequesta was founded in the 1950s as a planned community centered on the Tequesta Country
Club. The Village was incorporated in 1957. In 1955, author Charles Martyn asked a local bridge
keeper to describe the area that is now the Village of Tequesta.The keeper described it as"a jungle."
This intrigued Martyn who then decided to take the bridge keeper on his boat and have him show
him the interesting area. After traveling along the Intracoastal, Martyn fell in love with the beauty
of the area and its potential. He purchased 86 acres on Jupiter Island and developed upon it the
Jupiter Inlet Colony. While excavating, Martyn's workers dug up a Native American mound full of
artifacts. Martyn had the contents researched and it was discovered the mound belonged to an
encampment of Tequesta Indians. The Tequesta Tribe lived in present-day Miami-Dade, Broward,
and Palm Beach counties and was second in power among tribes in Southeast Florida. Martyn
named the area he was developing west of the Intracoastal "Tequesta" in honor of the tribe. That
area, now called "The Tequesta Country Club," was later incorporated as part of the Village of
Tequesta. The Village of Tequesta is now miles of waterfront properties with beautiful homes in
quiet neighborhoods. It has a rich culture with many recreational activities like shopping, dining,
snorkeling, paddle boarding, and biking. Although the residential population fluctuates with an
increase in visitors during the winter months, the Village's service area population was estimated
to be approximately 13,240 based on the Village's comprehensive plan.
The Water Utilities Department is responsible for the overall operation of the Village's water system
including the treatment and distribution of water to its service area customers. The planning area,
Figure 2-1, includes the entire service area.
2.2 Need and Benefits
The project location map is presented in Figure 2-2. The Village's distribution system consists of
approximately 380,000 LF of pipe sized from 4 to 16 inches. The system is comprised of asbestos
cement (AC), ductile iron, PVC and HPDE pipe. The oldest sections of the distribution system are
primarily comprised of AC water mains and were installed in the 1950s. Over the past several years,
there have been a number of AC water main breaks within the service area. As the pipe in this area
are between the ages of 40 to 60 years and have exceeded their anticipated service life expectancy
the Village is taking proactive measures and implementing asbestos cement water main
replacement projects to ensure the safe and reliable means of providing potable water to their
customers.
A facilities assessment was completed in 2021 identifying approximately 137,000 linear feet of
asbestos cement water main to be replaced located in 15 different areas. One of the project areas

3.1 Description of Planning Area
3.1.1 Planning/Water Service Area
The Tequesta water system service area extends beyond the Village corporate boundaries.
The present service area encompasses 14,338 acres. The current Village water system
serves portions of unincorporated Palm Beach County north of the Loxahatchee River and
south of the Martin County line; a portion of Southern Martin County including north to
Jonathan Dickinson Park including Jupiter Hills, Rolling Hills and a part of southern Jupiter
Island; and, the entire Town of Jupiter Inlet Colony, a peninsula lying adjacent to the
Intracoastal Waterway, Jupiter Inlet and Atlantic Ocean. The Village service area is not
expected to expand its physical boundaries through the Year 2040.The Village service area
boundaries are indicated in Figure 2-1.
3.1.2 Climate
Due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean in South Florida, the climate in the Village of
Tequesta is humid with warm temperatures characteristic of long tropical summers and
mild winters. According to climate data provided by the National Meteorological and
Hydrological Services ECMWF data, the average annual temperature is 74.9°F. During
extended periods from the month of June through the month of September, daytime
temperatures often exceed 90°F. Winters are generally short and mild with January
generally the coldest month with an average daily temperature of 66.6°F.
The average rainfall in the Village is approximately 44 inches. Approximately 60% of the
total rainfall occurs during the months of June through September.
From June to September, daily thunderstorms with moderately high winds are likely to
occur. The hurricane season begins in June and concludes in November and heavy rainfall
and high winds can be expected during this time period.
3.1.3 Topography and Drainage
The topography in the service area ranges from sea level to 10 feet. Higher elevations can
be found as you move inland from the areas located adjacent to the surrounding waters.
Figure 3-1 depicts the topography data for the Village of Tequesta service area. Surface
water drains to adjacent waterways with the flow generally from the west to the east except
in those areas adjacent to water bodies.

3.1.4 Geology, Soils and Physiography
Most of the planning areas terrain is flat and low lying. According to the USDA Soil
Conservation Service:
"St. Lucie-Urban Land-Paola Association: Nearly level to sloping, excessively drained
soils that are sandy throughout;mostly in urban use. This association is on the mainland
along the coast. It is made up of low ridges and knolls that are part of the coastal ridge.
The natural vegetation is sand pine, scrub oak, and undergrowth of saw-palmetto,
rosemary, cacti, and native grasses. This association makes up about 3 percent of the
survey area. It is about 58 percent St. Lucie soils and Urban land, 7 percent Paola soils,
and 35 percent minor soils. St. Lucie soils are nearly level to sloping and are excessively
drained. Typically, they have a thin surface layer of gray sand. Below that is white sand
that extends to a depth of more than 80 inches. Urban land is made up of areas where
streets, build-ings, parking lots, and other structures cover more than 75 percent of the
land. In residential areas,streets,houses,sidewalks, and other structures cover 25 to 50
percent of the land. Paola soils are nearly level to sloping and are excessively drained.
Typically, they have a thin surface layer of dark gray sand and a subsurface layer of
white sand. The subsoil is strong brown sand in the upper part and light yellowish-
brown sand in the lower part. The minor soils in this association are Pomello,
Im-mokalee, Basinger, and Placid soils. Some of these have been graded or filled in for
urban use. Much of this association is in urban use, but some large areas in the northern
part are in native vegeta-tion. Farming is not important because of the rapid urban
expansion and because the major soils are not suited or poorly suited to most crops.
Limitations are slight for many urban uses. The major soils have severe limitations for
structures designed for holding water, disposing of refuse material, and recreation
development."
The soils characteristics for the planning area, as provided from the USDA Soil
Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Palm Beach County, December 1978, are as
described above and summarized as follows.
Throughout the planning area, nearly level to gently sloping, excessively drained
soils exist. These soils are typically sandy throughout. The majority of the soils are
St. Lucie soils, 58 percent, with 7 percent Paola soils and 35 percent soils of minor
extent. St. Lucie soils are excessively drained. The surface layer is a thin layer of
gray sand,the subsurface layer is mostly white sand to a depth of 80 inches or more.
Paola soils are also excessively drained and consist of a thin surface layer of dark
gray sand followed by a subsurface layer of white sand.The subsoil is strong brown
sand in the upper layers and light yellowish-brown in the lower layers.

3.1.5.1. Surface and Ground Water Hydrology
Figure 3-2 illustrates the surface water features located within the planning area. The
Intracoastal waterway is located within the planning area and serves as the marine highway
for boat traffic travelling through the Village of Tequesta on their way north or south. A
portion of the planning area is also adjacent to the Loxahatchee River— Lake Worth Creek
Aquatic Preserve.
3.1.5.2 Surface and Ground Water Quality and Uses
The Surficial Aquifer and Upper Floridan Aquifer lies beneath the planning area.The water
quality in both aquifers is good and their primary use in the planning area is potable water
supply. The adjacent surface water is the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and the Atlantic
Ocean. Both are saline water bodes, although the ICW is typically a lower salinity than the
ocean due to its interaction with groundwater and stormwater. Much of the ground water
in the planning area is Class G-11 (potable water use).
A portion of the service area is also within the Loxahatchee River Pollutant Reduction Plan,
which is a voluntary pollutant reduction plan in which stakeholders in the Loxahatchee River
area have provided nutrient management activities to make progress towards achieving the
area's water quality criteria set for nutrients.
3.1.6 Source Water Protection
The Village's 2020 Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Policy 1.1.3 states"Coordinate and
support Palm Beach County and Martin County in the protection of potable water well
fields, and in the implementation of applicable well field protection programs." and Policy
1.4.7 states"The Village shall protect potable water wellfields by allowing only the land uses
encompassed within the wellfield drawdown zones of influence shown on the Future Land
Use map".
Utilities Policy 1.1.5 states "The Village shall continue to protect existing wellfields, surface
or subsurface storage facilities,control structures,water treatment plants and transmission
infrastructure from increased coastal flooding, considering sea level rise, saltwater
intrusion, and other potential future impacts, and plan for infrastructure replacement and
relocation as needed to maintain the Village's potable water LOS" and Policy 1.2.2 states
"Future wells should be located where the potential for saltwater intrusion into the surficial
aquifer and existing well fields in periods of drought is minimized."

Additionally, The Village's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 50— Natural Resource Protection,
Article V. Wellfield Protection adopts the Palm Beach County Wellfield Protection
Ordinance.
The proposed projects are not located near the Village's wellfield as identified in Figure 3-
3 and will not interfere with the Village's water supply source water protection. Appendix
B contains a copy of the Palm Beach County Wellfield Protection Ordinance.
3.1.7 Environmentally Sensitive Areas or Features
3.1.7.1 Wetlands
According to the U.S. Department of the Interior National Wetland Inventory Map,
numerous freshwater wetlands border surface water bodies that are within the
service area. Figure 3-2 presents wetlands identified in the National Wetland
Inventory.There will be no wetland impacts associated with the Village of Tequesta
water main replacement program projects.
3.1.7.2 Environmentally Sensitive Lands
The watermain replacement program projects will be constructed within the public
road Right-of-Way. There are no environmentally sensitive lands within the project
area.
3.1.7.3 Plant and Animal Communities (Endangered Species)
According to the Palm Beach County Soil Survey, wildlife habitat has already been
impacted with development in the urbanized areas near the coast such as the
Village of Tequesta. The most extensive areas of good habitat are in the
undeveloped rangeland and the ocean beaches which are used extensively for
nesting by endangered and threatened sea turtles and mangrove areas in the
Intracoastal Waterway which are valuable as rookery and roosting areas for wading
birds and pelicans.
A list from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of threatened, endangered, proposed
and candidate species and their designated critical habitats is provided in Appendix
C.
The watermain replacement program projects will be within the limits of public
road Right-of-Ways within the Village of Tequesta service area and therefore no
endangered or threatened species of animals or vegetation will be impacted with
this project.

3.1.7.4 Archaeological and Historical Sites
Figure 3-4 identifies the historical and archaeological sites recorded in the Florida
Master Site File (Florida Division of Historical Resources) within the Village service
area. As noted previously, the watermain replacement program projects will be
constructed within the limits of public road Right-of-Way. Although there are
historical structures located within the project area, none of these resources will be
impacted by the Village of Tequesta watermain replacement program projects.
Construction is limited to the road right-of-way and all of the listed resources are
located across the outside the limits of construction.
3.1.8 Floodplain Influence on the Project Area
Flood zones for the project areas are presented in Figure 3-5. The areas in which the
proposed infrastructure improvements are to be constructed are located in Zones X,A,and
AE. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) defines Zone X as an 0.2%Annual Chance Flood
Hazard area,areas of 1%annual chance flood with average depth less than one foot or with
drainage areas of less than one square mile. Zone A is an area with a 1% annual chance of
flooding and a 26%chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage. Because detailed
analyses are not performed for such areas; no depths or base flood elevations are shown
within these zones. Zone AE is designed as the 100-year floodplain where base flood
elevations have been determined.
The base flood elevation for the Village ranges from 5.0 to 12-feet above sea level. The
installation of the proposed water main improvements will not result in an impact to either
the 100 year or 500-year floodplain, as this installation will not alter the surface elevation
or available storage capacity.
3.1.9 Air Quality
According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Air Quality
System (FLAQS) website, the Village of Tequesta's water service area is an "attainment"
area with respect to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
The construction of the Village of Tequesta watermain replacement program projects will
not create any impact on the existing Village of Tequesta air quality.
3.2 Socio-economic Conditions
3.2.1 Population
The population of the service area is calculated using the available information from the
Village's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Using the past history of the census tracts population
and future growth estimates from Palm Beach County and the Village of Tequesta planning
department, a future population projection is made for the census tracts.

3.2.2 Land Use and Development
Future land use is established in the Comprehensive Plans for the Village of Tequesta, and
is depicted in the Future Land Use Maps, Figure 3-6.Areas within the Village consist of
commercial, residential, recreation and open space, conservation, and limited areas of
public buildings and grounds.The central area of the Village is a mix of commercial and
residential. Heading east,the predominant land use is mixed use and commercial.Along the
western city limits, uses are residential with the golf course in the center of this area.
3.3 Water Supply,Treatment and Transmission/Distribution System
3.3.1 Description of the Existing Water System
The major components of the Village of Tequesta water system are summarized in this
section.These facilities include the potable water treatment plant (WTP), storage facilities,
high service pumping system, and the transmission and distribution system.
The Village's main raw water supply source is the Surficial and the Upper Floridan Aquifer.
Raw water is sourced from fourteen groundwater wells scattered throughout the service
area.There are ten surficial aquifer wells (seven on the Eastern Peninsula of the Village and
three on the Western Peninsula) and four Floridan aquifer wells all located on the Eastern
Peninsula.The Village's current Water Use Permit allows for one additional surficial and one
additional Floridan well to be constructed, if required.
3.3.2 Water Treatment Plant
The Water Treatment Plant is comprised of two parallel treatment processes, a 2.7 MGD
sand filter process and 3.6 MGD reverse osmosis plant.The sand filter process is comprised
of six carbon steel filter vessels, a surge tank, an air scour system, ammonia feed facilities,
three transfer pumps, and associated piping, valves, controls, and instrumentation. The
reverse osmosis process is comprised of three cartridge filters, three high-pressure
membrane feed pumps, three reverse osmosis trains, two degasifier and air scrubber
systems,a clearwell (where blending of effluent from the filter process and reverse osmosis
process occur), three transfer pumps, bulk chemical storage and feed facilities, and
associated piping, valves, controls, instrumentation and emergency power equipment.
Under normal conditions,treated water from storage tanks at the water treatment plant is
pumped to the distribution system through the high service pumps.

3.3.3 Water Treatment Plant Storage
Blended finished water is stored in two ground storage tanks located at the WTP with
capacities of 0.75 million gallons (MG) and 2.0 MG. From there, the finished water is
delivered to the distribution system by seven high-service pumps.
3.3.4 Water Treatment Plant High Service Pumps
Finished water is pumped to the distribution system with the high service pumping
system consisting of two high service pump stations for a total of seven pumps.The four
(4) high service pumps (Pumps 1-4) for the filter plant are all equipped with a 6.99-in
diameter impeller and 40 hp motors.The remaining (3) pumps are located in the reverse
osmosis building and are all horizontal split case pumps. Pumps 5 and 6 are equipped with
13-inch diameter impellers with 125 hp motors while pump 7 is equipped with a 11.96-
inch impeller and 75 hp motor. Pumps 5 and 7 are variable speed and all pumps utilize a
suction and discharge 16-inch isolation butterfly valve and 16-inch silent check valve on
discharge. Under normal operations, both high service pump stations draw from the
ground storage tanks.
3.3.5 Transmission and Distribution Network
The pipe network is comprised of transmission mains larger than 8-inches in diameter,
and smaller diameter distribution mains (2- through 8-inches in diameter). The oldest
portions of the Village's distribution system were installed in the 1950s and the system
has been expanded multiple times to accommodate growth. The piping network that
comprises the distribution system include asbestos cement (AC), ductile iron (DI), and
polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Approximately 153,000 linear feet of portions of the system
(installed between 1950—1970) are constructed with AC pipe.The more recent sections
of the system have been constructed with PVC and DI pipe.
The Village has three connections with adjacent Public Water Systems to provide
alternate sources of potable water in emergency situations. Two emergency
interconnects are with the Town of Jupiter and the third is with South Martin Regional
Utility which is owned by the Town of Jupiter Island. All interconnects remain closed
during normal operations and are opened in the event of a loss of water supply or
pressure within any of the water systems.
3.3.6 Present and Historical Water Usage
The future total water demand for the system was developed and documented in the
Village's 2018 Comprehensive Plan. The projected demands from this report are
summarized in Table 3-2. As shown in this table, the average annual daily(AAD) finished
water demand for 2045 is expected to be 3.79 MGD.

Daily Flow
The projected daily potable water necessary to serve the Village's future demands ranges
from 3.6 million gallons per day (MGD)to 4.55 MGD. Based on these projections, neither
the average daily demand nor the maximum daily demands are anticipated to exceed the
current permitted combined WTP capacity of 6.3 MGD within the planning period.
3.3.7 Water Conservation
The Village currently has in effect a multi-element water conservation program. This
program has been in place over most of the previous Water Use Permit period (over
20years). Moreover,the Village of Tequesta instituted a water conservation rate structuring
program that charged incrementally higher rates for higher usage of the potable water
system.The improvement since 2000 has been materially impacted by the implementation
of this water conservation rate structuring. It is anticipated that the success of the program
will continue, and the Village is committed to the vigorous pursuit of all efforts toward
water conservation.
The Village continues to implement a leak detection program. The program is based on the
concept of comparing the volume of water produced for consumption and the volume
billed. This calculation is performed monthly, and the yearly results are submitted to the
SFWMD. Action levels have been established. As part of the program and to improve the
accuracy of the calculations, the Village has adopted a residential and commercial meter
replacement program.
22
Page 311 of 393
Agenda Item #19.
The Village has adopted and continues to implement various regulations that improve water
conservation. The Village has adopted water protection and conservation measures in
Article VI.
Water Protection and Conservation of Chapter 50, Natural Resources Protection in the
Village Code of Ordinances. Specifically, Article VI, Sec. 50-187 requires the use of low
volume plumbing fixtures and Article VI, Sec.50-189 requires rain sensor overrides for all
irrigation systems and recognizes SFWMD criteria related to limiting irrigation hours for
lawns and ornamentals.
The use of reclaimed water for irrigation purposes is an effective water conservation
measure.The Village does not own or operate a wastewater treatment facility and,as such,
does not manufacture reclaimed water. The Village, however, is located within the LRD
service area, and the LRD does produce reclaimed water. The Village continues to work
with the LRD to encourage its use. There are customers within the Village water service
area that currently use reclaimed water for these purposes.
The Village makes water conservation literature available to all customers. In addition,the
Village improves public awareness of water conservation through distribution of related
information in water bill messages,the Village Newsletter and other literature displayed in
information racks at Village buildings. There are some water conservation related issues
addressed in the Coastal Management element of the Village's Comprehensive Plan which
are addressed in the Coastal Management.
3.3.8 Performance of Existing Water System
The Village of Tequesta water distribution system, although aging, continues to function
adequately. The large booster pumps at the Village's water treatment plant perform well
and the water treatment plant has undergone significant renovations over the years and is
more than adequate to treat the projected demand permitted under the water use permit
from the South Florida Water Management District.
3.3.9 Service Population and Water Demand Projection
The water demands are developed based upon the population projection and per capita
demand of 247 gallons per capita. Table 3-2 listed above, presents the projected water
demands from 2010 to 2045.
3.4 Managerial capacity
The Village of Tequesta Utilities Department has the responsibility and authority to operate
and maintain the water system. Department staff has the capability and capacity to
maintain and operate the Village's water system.The Village's water system is continuously
operated in shifts and repairs and rehabilitation of the water mains due to broken pipes and
23

joints are periodically conducted by Department staff.After hours repairs and maintenance
are conducted with night and weekend utility crews.
Routine water analyses are performed by Utilities Department staff in the Village's
laboratory. Monitoring of the water system is accomplished with SCADA.

Agenda Item #19.
Chapter 4.0 - Alternatives Analysis
4.1 General
The Village of Tequesta Watermain Replacement Program projects have three primary
alternatives for the water distribution system improvements:
Water Distribution System Upgrades:
1. No Action
2. Replace in-kind with same material
3. Replace with PVC, HDPE, or Ductile Iron Pipe
4.2 Cost-effectiveness
The cost effectiveness of the project was evaluated based on capital investment, and
operation and maintenance costs. However, the benefit of these projects outweighs the
capital costs as they provide safe and reliable means of drinking water to the Village
customers.Appendix A contains a detailed cost calculation of the selected alternative.
Present worth has been used to compare the various alternatives developed in this facilities
plan. Present worth combinations for the viable alternatives incorporated the following
considerations:
1. Planning period of 20 years.
2. A discount rate of 2.75% was used in this analysis based upon the US Bureau of
Reclamation published discount rate for 2024.
3. Capital costs (land acquisition, construction, contingency, engineering, legal,fiscal,
and administrative costs).
4. Operation and maintenance costs.
5. Salvage value of$0 assumed for all water distribution components.
6. Costs are obtained from recent bids in the area.
4.3 Watermain Replacement Program Projects
4.3.1 No Action
Under this alternative, the existing mains will continue to serve the distribution
network in the Village of Tequesta. The age and condition of the existing AC
pipelines will continue to have various water main breaks throughout the pipe
network. The system will not be a reliable source of potable drinking water. This
alternative is not viable and hence was rejected.
25
Page 314 of 393
Agenda Item #19.
4.3.2 Replace in-kind with same material
This alternative involves replacing the identified water mains with the same pipe
size and materials of the existing system. The existing mains are primarily asbestos
cement and are susceptible to main breaks,and frequent failures and furthermore,
the material is no longer produced. Therefore, this alternative is not viable and
hence was rejected.
4.3.3 Replace with PVC, HDPE, or Ductile Iron Pipe
This alternative involves replacing the identified water mains with 4-inch or larger
polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high density polyethylene (HDPE), or ductile iron mains.
This alternative will improve the capacity of the existing distribution network that
feeds the Village of Tequesta and will provide necessary fire flow needed for the
community. The route of this alternative will be in the same right-of-way as the
existing mains and will not involve any land acquisition or easements. There are no
adverse environmental or economic impacts expected as a result of the
implementation of this alternative. This alternative is cost-effective and hence was
selected.

A figure depicting the 15 different areas of watermain replacement is shown in Figure 5-1.
5.2 Environmental Impacts of Proposed Facilities
The short-term impacts during construction include increased noise levels, increased
airborne particulates and surface run-off during rainfall on the site. Control measures will
be implemented to minimize these temporary effects. The long-term impacts of the project
are beneficial. The Village will have adequate and reliable potable water and fire flow
supply throughout the service area.
The proposed project will not have significant adverse effects on wild and scenic rivers or
on flora,fauna,threatened or endangered plant or animal species, prime agricultural lands,
wetlands, undisturbed natural areas,or the socio-economic character of the area. A review

Section 6 Zones of Influence
A. Maps
The Zones of Influence Maps, developed as described in Art. 14.B.6.A.2, Basis, are incorporated herein
and made a part of this Chapter. These Maps shall be on file and maintained by ERM.
1. Amendments
Any amendments, additions, or deletions to said Maps shall be approved by the BCC after public
hearing. [Ord. 2013-001]
2. Basis
The Zones of Influence Maps are based upon travel time contours and one foot drawdown contours.
They are generated using a contaminant transport computer model that simulates pollutant movement
using particles released around wells. The travel time contours and the one foot drawdown contours
are calculated by using finite difference computer modeling techniques that incorporate the effects of
an extensive canal system, groundwater flows, and SFWMD Consumptive Use Permit approved public
water supply pumping rates. Additional considerations may be incorporated into the modeling
methodology as approved by ERM. [Ord. 2006-036]

be governed by the restrictions applicable to that zone;
b. To that the extent Art. 14.B.6.C, Prohibitions and Restrictions, does not apply, properties having
parts lying within more than one zone as reflected on the applicable Zones of Influence Maps shall
be governed by the restrictions applicable to the zone in which the part of the property is located;
c. Where a travel time contour which delineates the boundary between two Zones of Influence,
passes through a facility, the entire facility shall be considered to be in the more restrictive zone;
and,
d. Where the facility, or portion thereof, is overlapped by Zones of Influence of different wells or
wellfields, the stricter zones shall apply.
6. Reference Raw Water Analysis to Be Completed for Each Well
A reference set of raw water analyses shall be completed for each Well for which a Zones of Influence
map has been established. Said analyses shall be completed within 185 days after March 7, 1988, for

or receive an Operating Permit from ERM.
b. Permit Conditions
An Operating Permit issued to any nonresidential activity within Zone 2 that stores, handles, uses,
or produces any Regulated Substance shall be subject to the following conditions:
1) Containment of Regulated Substances
Leak-proof trays under containers, floor curbing, or other containment systems to provide
secondary liquid containment shall be installed. The containment shall be of adequate size to
handle all spills, leaks, overflows, and precipitation until appropriate action can be taken. The
specific design and selection of materials shall be sufficient to preclude any Regulated
Substance loss to the external environment. Containment systems shall be sheltered so that
the intrusion of precipitation is effectively prevented. The owner/operator may choose to
provide adequate and appropriate liquid collection methods rather than sheltering only after
approval of the design by ERM. These requirements shall apply to all areas of use, production,
and handling, to all storage areas, to loading and off-loading areas, and to above-ground and
underground storage areas. The containment devices and liquid collection systems shall be
certified in the Operating Permit application by the Professional Engineer or Professional
Geologist registered or licensed in the State of Florida.
2) Emergency Collection Devices
Vacuum suction devices, absorbent scavenger materials or other devices approved by ERM,
shall be present on site or available within two hours (one hour in Zone 1) by contract with a
cleanup company approved by ERM, in sufficient magnitude so as to control and collect the
total quantity of Regulated Substances present. To the degree feasible, emergency containers
shall be present and of such capacity as to hold the total quantity of Regulated Substances
plus absorbent material. The presence of such emergency collection devices shall be certified
in the Operating Permit application for existing activities. Such certification for new activities
shall be provided to ERM prior to the presence of Regulated Substances on the site.
Certification shall be provided by a Professional Engineer or Professional Geologist registered
or licensed in the State of Florida.
3) Emergency Plan
An emergency plan shall be prepared and filed with the Operating Permit application indicating
the procedures which will be followed in the event of spillage of a Regulated Substance so as
to control and collect all such spilled material in such a manner as to prevent it from reaching
any storm or sanitary drains or the ground.
4) Inspection
A responsible person designated by the Permittee who stores, handles, uses, or produces the
Regulated Substances shall check on every day of operation, for breakage or leakage of any
container holding the Regulated Substances. Electronic sensing devices may be employed as
part of the inspection process, if approved by ERM, and provided the sensing system is
checked daily for malfunctions. The manner of daily inspection shall not necessarily require
physical inspection of each container provided the location of the containers can be inspected
Unified Land Development Code Article 14—Environmental Standards
Supplement No.26(Printed 11/19) 19 of 51
Page 331 of 393
Agenda Item #19.
to a degree which reasonably assures ERM that breakage or leakage can be detected by the
inspection. Monitoring records shall be kept and made available to ERM at all reasonable times
for examination.
5) Proper and Adequate Maintenance of Containment and Emergency Equipment
Procedures shall be established for quarterly, in-house inspection and maintenance of
containment and emergency equipment. Such procedure shall be in writing; a regular checklist
and schedule of maintenance shall be established; and a log shall be kept of inspections and
maintenance. Such logs and records shall be available for inspection by ERM.
6) Reporting of Spills
Any spill of a Regulated Substance in excess of the non-aggregate quantity thresholds
identified in the definition of"Regulated Substance" shall be reported by telephone to PBCHD
and the designated public utility within one hour, and to ERM within 24 hours of discovery of
the spill. Cleanup shall commence immediately upon discovery of the spill. A full written report
including the steps taken to contain and clean up the spill shall be submitted to ERM within 15
days of discovery of the spill.
7) Monitoring for Regulated Substances in the Potable Water Wells
Arrangements shall be made with the designated public utility to establish a semi-annual
schedule of raw water analysis unless sampling results indicate contamination, in which case
ERM shall require an increased sampling schedule.
The analysis shall be for all substances which are listed on the Operating Permit.The analytical
reports shall be prepared by a State of Florida certified laboratory, certified for the applicable
analyses. It shall be the responsibility of the designated public utility to provide for the sampling
and analyses but the cost shall be borne by the Permittee or those permittees on a pro-rata
basis as to the same substances listed on the permits of those permittees in Zones of Influence
of the subject well. Samples shall be taken by the State of Florida certified laboratory
performing the analyses, or its authorized representative. Semi-annual reports prepared by a
State of Florida certified laboratory of the analyses for Regulated Substances shall be
submitted to ERM for the purpose of determining the presence of Regulated Substances in
each well for which a Zones of Influence map has been established.
8) Regulated Substances in Groundwater Monitoring Wells
Groundwater monitoring well(s)shall be provided at the expense of the Permittee in a manner,
number,and location approved by ERM. Except for existing wells found by ERM to be adequate
for this provision, the required well or wells shall be installed by a State of Florida licensed
water well contractor. Samples shall be taken by the State of Florida certified laboratory
performing the analyses, or its authorized representative. Analytical reports prepared by a
State of Florida certified laboratory of the quantity present in each monitoring well of the
Regulated Substances listed in the activity's Operating Permit shall be filed at least semi-
annually, or more frequently, as determined by ERM, based upon site conditions and
operations.
9) Alterations and Expansions
ERM shall be notified in writing prior to the expansion, alteration, or modification of an activity
holding an Operating Permit. Such expansion, alteration, or modification may result from
increased square footage of production or storage capacity, or increased quantities of
Regulated Substances, or changes in types of Regulated Substances beyond those square
footages, quantities, and types upon which the permit was issued. Should a facility add new
Regulated Substances which individually are below the non-aggregate limits identified in the
definition of "Regulated Substance," it shall notify ERM on an annual basis of the types and
quantities of such substances added and the location of the use, handling, storage, and
production of said substances. [Ord. 2013-001]
Any such expansion, alteration, or modification shall be in strict conformity with this Chapter.
Further, except as provided herein, any existing Operating Permit shall be amended to reflect
the introduction of any new Regulated Substances resulting from the change. However, the
introduction of any new Regulated Substance shall not prevent the revocation or revision of
any existing Operating Permit if, in the opinion of ERM, such introduction substantially or
materially modifies, alters, or affects the conditions upon which the existing Operating Permit
was granted or the ability to remain qualified as a General Exemption, if applicable, or to
continue to satisfy any conditions that have been imposed as part of a Special Exemption, if
Unified Land Development Code Article 14—Environmental Standards
Supplement No.26(Printed 11/19) 20 of 51

applicable. ERM shall notify the Permittee in writing within 60 days of receipt of the Permittee's
notice that ERM proposes to revoke or revise the permit and state the grounds therefore.
10) Reconstruction after Catastrophe
Reconstruction of any portion of a structure or building in which there is any activity subject to
the provisions of this regulation which is damaged by fire,vandalism,flood, explosion, collapse,
wind, war, or other catastrophe shall be in strict conformity with this Chapter.
11) Revocation or Revision for Spill
Within 30 days of acquiring knowledge of any spill of a Regulated Substance, ERM shall
consider revocation or revision of the permit. In consideration of whether to revoke or revise
the permit, ERM may consider the intentional nature or the degree of negligence, if any,
associated with the spill, the extent to which containment or cleanup is possible, the nature,
number, and frequency of previous spills by the Permittee, and the potential degree of harm to
the groundwater and surrounding wells due to such spill.
c. Permits for Existing Uses
All existing nonresidential activities in Zone 2 which use, handle, store, or produce Regulated
Substances shall file an application for an Operating Permit within 90 days of the receipt of written
notice from ERM. Said permit application shall be prepared and signed by a Professional Engineer

a. Prohibited Activities
All nonresidential activities within Zone 3 which store, handle, use, or produce any Regulated
Substance are prohibited, unless they qualify as a General Exemption or receive an Operating
Permit from ERM.
b. Permit Conditions
An Operating Permit issued to any nonresidential activity within Zone 3 that stores, handles, uses,
or produces any Regulated Substance shall be subject to the following conditions:
1) Containment of Regulated Substances
Leak-proof trays under containers, floor curbing, or other containment systems to provide
secondary liquid containment shall be installed. The containment shall be of adequate size to
handle all spills, leaks, overflows, and precipitation until appropriate action can be taken. The
specific design and selection of materials shall be sufficient to preclude any Regulated
Substance loss to the external environment. Containment systems shall be sheltered so that
the intrusion of precipitation is effectively prevented. The owner/operator may choose to
provide adequate and appropriate liquid collection methods rather than sheltering only after
approval of the design by ERM. These requirements shall apply to all areas of use, production,
and handling, to all storage areas, to loading and off-loading areas, and to above-ground and
underground storage areas. The containment devices and liquid collection systems shall be
certified in the Operating Permit application by the Professional Engineer or Professional
Geologist registered or licensed in the State of Florida.
2) Emergency Plan
An emergency plan shall be prepared and filed with the Operating Permit application indicating
the procedures which will be followed in the event of spillage of a Regulated Substance so as
to control and collect all such spilled material in such a manner as to prevent it from reaching
any storm or sanitary drains or the ground.
3) Inspection
A responsible person designated by the Permittee who stores, handles, uses, or produces the
Regulated Substances shall check on every day of operation, for breakage or leakage of any
container holding the Regulated Substances. Electronic sensing devices may be employed as
part of the inspection process, if approved by ERM, and provided the sensing system is
checked daily for malfunctions. The manner of daily inspection shall not necessarily require

value based on accepted standards in the related business community may be substituted for
net proceeds of a sale where applicable; or
2) Estimated cost of moving the item to the replacement site within the geographic boundaries of
PBC.
b. If a sale is not affected because no offer is received and the item is abandoned, payment for the
loss may be its fair market value for continued use at its existing location plus the costs of the
attempted sale, less the equipment's salvage value.
3. In Lieu of Actual Moving Expenses
In lieu of the payments described in Art. 14.B.9.F.1, Actual Reasonable Relocation Expenses, Art.
14.B.9.E.2, Actual Reasonable Modification of Operation Expenses, and Art. 14.B.9.F.2, Actual Direct
Losses of Tangible Personal Property, an owner of a discontinued activity may be eligible to receive a
payment equal to 75 percent of the estimated reasonable cost of moving the activity within PBC, except
that such payment shall not be more than the lower of two sealed and itemized bids, provided the
following requirements are met:
a. For the owner of an affected activity to be entitled to this payment, the Hearing Officer must
determine that the business cannot be relocated without a substantial loss of its existing patronage.
Such determination shall be made by the Hearing Officer only after consideration of all pertinent
circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following factors:

Project Code: 2025-0024083
Project Name: Village of Tequesta Watermain Replacement Program
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Feel free to contact us
if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally
proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat.
Please include your Project Code, listed at the top of this letter, in all subsequent
correspondence regarding this project. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the
regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified
after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service
recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals
during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information.An
updated list may be requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to
receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.

Project code: 2025-0024083 11/25/2024 19:24:23 UTC
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act(42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/documents/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.pdf
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act(ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act(BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project-related impacts.Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what-
we-do.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation-
migratory-birds.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 28 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries1, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

Re: Tequesta Public Water System (PWS ID 4501438)Sanitary Survey
Dear Ms Kudela Lexzynski,
We appreciated the time Mr. Peters spent with us and have addressed the items mentioned in
the Survey recommendations with the exception of the deficiencies of Well #19. As you may
know, Well #19 is scheduled to undergo major rehabilitation or replacement. As soon as the
final drawings are approved, the project is set to go out to bid. During construction, the
existing vault will be demoed and the well head will be positioned above grade with all new
materials and equipment.
Please see the following photos of the items of concerned.
Kindest Regards,
Nat&m
