Agenda Item #10.
• FY26 Stormwater Pipe Lining
o Staff have compiled pricing for lining for FY26.The proposal for lining, along with pond
inspections,will be presented at the February council meeting. All lining and inspections should
be completed before the rainy season.
• 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.
o 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.
o Inspection includes a diver entering the pond and ensuring the pipe is clear of any debris or
sediment and is in sound condition.
o Staff have compiled pricing for pond inspections for FY26.The proposal for inspections, along
with lining, will be presented at the February council meeting.All lining and inspections should be
completed before the rainy season.
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
depend on the water quality in this area.
o A purchase order has been issued to Florida Design Drilling to complete test well drilling on the
water plant site. They are scheduled to mobilize the first week of February.

• 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
Page 2 of 5 Village of Tequeffav f 325
Agenda Item #10.
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
— Water quality testing showed an increased 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.
o Rehabs are scheduled to begin after the new year and completion of testing. Each purchase order
will come before Council for approval with the first being Well 26 which is anticipated to come to
Council in February.
Water Production Projects
• Water Treatment Improvements—One bid was received and rejected
o FDEP SRF loan agreement was executed and received by the Village on 7/1/25-$5,745,000;the
difference we recommend paying out of reserves
o Current efforts are underway to remove portions of the planned work from the scope, including
the following:
• 2 MG storage tank by-pass
• Conversion to liquid ammonium sulfate
• 16" flow meter installation
• Interstage booster pumps for the RO treatment trains
o An onsite meeting was held on 1/13/2026 for programming and electrical review coordination.
The project is planned to be rebid end of January/early February.
o Utilities staff has been working with McKim &Creed to remove the SCADA conversion from this
project.The SCADA portion of work was not funded through SRF. By removing the work from the
overall project we will receive better pricing and ensure that our current system does not fail
prior to this project taking place.The proposal for the conversion will be brought to council in
February.
• Filter Media Replacement(Pressurized Vessels)— Florida Design Contractors (not to exceed $869,974)
o Interior inspection of two pressure vessels shows pitting that will require welding repairs.

o Membrane delivery date 11/4/2025
o Contractor mobilized 11/17/2025

quantity.This is a great sign and will result in energy savings.
o The only remaining work is replacement of permeate tubes and the project should be completed
on time and under budget.
• Water Treatment Master Plan—developing a plan to meet the US EPA regulatory requirements by
2029 (proposed extension to 2031)
