STORMWATER
• Dover Ditch — BlueTerra, LLC (not to exceed $304,289.80)
o Contractor mobilized and completed material excavation and riprap installation on the
Village side of the canal
o Contractor planned to finish project by December and come back after king tide to
complete plantings. Project should be finished by the end of the year and grant
reimbursement requested in January from FDEP.
o Work has begun on the Town of Jupiter side of the canal. Additional erosion since the
time of design has required additional fill and rock which has been paid for form the
undefined conditions allowance

• Stormwater Plans & Map
o GIS Projects Layer was updated and presented by FTC on 9/18/2025. The next step is
to enter the projects from existing spreadsheet to the GIS. The engineering intern will
begin this work starting the week of 10/27/25. The goal is to provide a visual

representation of all completed and planned stormwater projects, including but not
limited to; pipe lining, structure installation, and swale regrading/reclamation.
• FY26 Stormwater Pipe Lining
o There are currently five sections of stormwater pipes that are planned to be lined this
year. We are working on obtaining competitive pricing for these locations (estimated
618 linear feet of pipe).
• Dover Rd & Oak Ave Stormwater Structure Repair
o In FY25 a failure of a stormwater structure was discovered on the corner of Dover Rd
and Oak Ave. This was temporarily addressed in-house to avoid further damage. With
new fiscal year funding we will permanently repair the area.
• Stormwater Pond Inlet & Outlet Inspections
o There are currently five stormwater ponds with inlets and/or outlets that are scheduled
to be inspected this year. Debris and sediment can limit the ability for stormwater to
move throughout the system, resulting in pooling of water and extending time for
pooling to decrease after a rain event. Inspection includes a diver entering the pond and
ensuring the pipe is clear of any debris or sediment and is in sound condition.
WATER
• Production Wells
• Surficial Aquifer Well#28 Design and Construction
o We are planning on bringing a proposal to drill well #28, which is in our South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) water use permit (WUP)
o This well is currently permitted on a VOT owned parcel across the street and railroad from the
water treatment plant. This site is not ideal as it would have to be accessed through an FEC
lease. We are exploring the possibility of repermitting the well on the water plant property. This
will be dependent on the water ualit in this area.

o Surficial Aquifer Well Annual Rehabilitation & Well#26 Evaluation
o Three surficial aquifer wells are programmed to be rehabbed annually
- Well #27, #23, #19 are currently planned to be rehabbed during FY26
- Operations staff have implemented a detailed wellfield testing program that will evaluate the
performance and production capability of all the wells over time, including pre and post rehab
performance. This testing will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to provide insights on which
wells should be rehabbed and the actual improvements and effectiveness of rehabs compared
to cost of the rehabs

Agenda Item #3.
o Well #26 was rehabilitated by AMPS in January — continue to have issues with air entrainment,
have contracted with an expert to review and provide options
- Still ongoing issues even though we have been eliminating potential issues
- Water quality testing showed increase presence of methane and TOC in the water.
- The recently approved piggyback contract with Florida Design Drilling will be leveraged to provide
extensive chlorination and well development to attempt to rectify the issue.
o The well 26 work and upcoming rehabs will be coordinated with JLA Geosciences to ensure we
are performing the rehab that is most appropriate to the current conditions of each well.
