1. Introduction
Introduction
The purpose of the Village of Tequesta Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (WSWP) is to identify
and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new
development within the local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part II, F.S., requires local
governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months
after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its update. The
Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update was approved by the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) on February 15, 2007. Therefore, the deadline for local
governments within the Lower East Coast jurisdiction to amend their comprehensive plans to
adopt a Work Plan was August 15, 2008.
Residents of the Village of Tequesta obtain their water directly from the Village of Tequesta
Utilities Department, which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for
existing and future customers. According to State guidelines, the Work Plan and the
comprehensive plan amendment must address the development of traditional and alternative
water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary
to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year planning period.
1.1 Statutory History
The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, and 2005 sessions to address the
State's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005 legislative
session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.) by strengthening the
statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the water management
districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments. fn addition, these bills
established the basis for improving coordination between the local land use planning and water
supply planning.
1.2 Statutory Requirements
Each local government must comply with the following requirements:
1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water
management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water supplies
and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. Data and
analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will
be available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future
Land Use Map amendments submitted to the Department for review. The submitted
ARCADIS Project No. RF05-106.14 1-1

Introduction
package must also include an amendment to the Capital Improvements Element, if
necessary, to demonstrate that adequate public facilities will be available to serve the
proposed Future Land Use Map modification.
3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new
development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing a
certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier prior to approving a
building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies will be available to serve
the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate of occupancy
[s.163.3180 (2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. This "water supply concurrency" is now in
effect, and local governments should be complying with the requirement for all new
development proposals. In addition, local governments should update their
comprehensive plans and land development regulations as soon as possible to address
these statutory requirements. The latest point at which the comprehensive plan must be
revised to reflect the concurrency requirements is at the time the local government adopts
plan amendments to implement the recommendations of the Evaluation and Appraisal
Report (EAR).
4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer
Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element"), within 18 months after the water
management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to:
a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the
local government from projects identified in the updated regional water supply
plan, or the alternative project proposed by the local government under s.
373.0361(7), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.];
b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, bulk sales
agreements, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current
and future water use demands within the local government's jurisdiction [s.
163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and
c. Include a water supply facilities work plan for at least a 10-year planning period for
constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the
element as necessary to serve existing and new development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c),
F.S.] Amendments to incorporate the water supply facilities work plan into the
comprehensive plan are exempt from the twice-a-year amendment limitation. [s.
163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
5. Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water supply,
reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five-year
period.
6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described
in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess projected
water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period, considering the
ARCADIS Project No. RFOS-106.14 1-2

appropriate regional water supply plan, the applicable District Water Management Plan,
as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s.163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.]
If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years, the
plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the existing
and projected water use demand for established planning period, considering the
appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167 (13), F.S.]
7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes described
in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to
ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with applicable regional water supply
plans and regional water supply authorities' plans. [s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.]
Address in the EAR, the extent to which the local government has implemented the Water Supply
Facilities Work Plan, including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine
whether the identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk
sales agreements, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands.

2. Background Information
2.1 Overview
Background Information
The Village of Tequesta (Village) was incorporated in 1957. The Village consists of an area of
approximately 2.3 square miles. The Village is bounded to the south and west by the northwest
fork of the Loxahatchee River and Intracoastal Waterway, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean and
to the north by Martin County, Florida. The Village boundaries are shown on Figure 2-1. The
actual water service area for the Village of Tequesta extends beyond the Village boundaries to
include portions of the Town of Jupiter, Jupiter Inlet Colony, Jupiter Island, portions of
unincorporated Martin County and unincorporated Palm Beach County, the Rolling Hills
subdivision and Jonathan Dickinson State Park. The Village is self supplied and therefore, is the
only potable water service provider within the service area. The Village owns, operates and
maintains all of the raw water supply, treatment and distribution facilities located within the
service area.
The Village is approaching built-out conditions and will experience limited to moderate population
growth through the Year 2025. Based on the population estimates prepared by the University of
Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR), Palm Beach Water Supply Plan
and LRTP for 2030, Jupiter Inlet Colony Adopted WSP (September 11, 2009) and Martin and St.
Lucie Counties LRTP it was estimated that the Village's combined water service area served
population in 2005 was 11,285. The Village's water service area population is expected to
experience 20% growth by the year 2025 to 13,544.
2.2 Relevant Regional Issues
As the State agency responsible for water supply in the Lower East Coast planning area, the
SFWMD plays a pivotal role in resource protection, through criteria used for Consumptive Use
Permitting. As pressure increased on the Everglades ecosystem resource, the SFWMD
Governing Board initiated rule making to limit increased allocations dependent on the Everglades
system. As a result, the Regional Water Availability Rule was adopted by the Governing Board on
February 15, 2007 as part of the SFWMD's water use permit program. This reduced reliance on
the regional system for future water supply needs, mandates the development of alternative
water supplies, and increasing conservation and reuse.

3. Data and Analysis
3.1 Population Information
Data and Analysis
The Village's existing and future population figures are derived from University of Florida Bureau
of Economic and Business Research (BEBR), Palm Beach Water Supply Plan and LRTP for
2030, Jupiter Inlet Colony Adopted WSP (September 11, 2009) and Martin and St. Lucie
Counties LRTP. Based on the population data provided the population of the Village's water
service area is estimated to increase to 11,946 by Year 2010 and 13,544 by Year 2025.
The population estimates for the Village of Tequesta serving areas in Martin County differ slightly
from those that are contained in the 2006 Upper East Coast Water Supply Plan Amendment.
This population analysis has a conservative bias for the planning horizon. Through future
updates of both the Upper East and Lower East Coast Water Supply Plans along with the
updates of all other water supply permits, these numbers will be more formally coordinated.
3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served
The Village service area currently includes the Village corporate boundaries and extends beyond
the Village boundaries to include portions of the Jupiter Inlet Colony, Jupiter Island, portions of
Martin County and unincorporated Palm Beach County. The Village service area is not expected
to expand its physical boundaries through the Year 2025. The existing and future Village service
area boundaries are shown on Figure 3-1.
3.3 Potable Water Level of Service Standard
The Village's level of service standard for potable water is as follows in Table 3-1.

3.5 Water Supply Provided by Local Government
Data and Analysis
The Village is currently permitted under SFWMD Water Use Permit (WUP) number 50-00046-W
to withdraw a total annual allocation of 1,768 million gallons (MG) and a maximum daily allocation
of 6.71 MGD. The WUP allows the Village to withdraw raw water from both the surficial and
Floridan aquifers. There are currently a total often (10) active surficial aquifer wells and three (3)
active Floridan aquifer wells. There is also one existing Floridan Well (R-4) which has been
installed but is not equipped or piped. The allocations also include provisions for the installation
of one additional surficial aquifer well and one Floridan aquifer well at some point in the future, as
warranted. A summary of the existing raw water supply wellfield's and permitted capacities
based on the current WUP are provided in Table 3-3.

The requested allocations represent an increase in the maximum month withdrawal allocation
from the Floridan aquifer. The maximum month withdrawal allocation from the surficial aquifer
remains unchanged. The requested annual withdrawal allocations from both the Florida aquifer
and surficial aquifer represent a decrease. It should be noted that the total (i.e. Floridan plus
surficial) requested annual and maximum month raw water allocations are less than the sum of
the requested annual and maximum month allocations irrespective of the aquifer source.
3.6 Water Treatment Processes and Distribution Facilities
The Village's water treatment plant (WTP) primary treatment processes consist of membrane
softening via reverse osmosis and manganese greensand filtration. Each process is operated
independent of the other with the treated water from each process being blended into a final

!'" ARCADIS
Data and Analysis
finished water product. The manganese greensand filtration process was the original treatment
technology employed at the Village's WTP. The manganese greensand filtration system has a
finished water permitted capacity of 2.7 MGD and currently operates at 90% recovery. The
expansion of the manganese greensand filter process in the future is not anticipated. The
Village's reverse osmosis system consists of two, 1.2 MGD permeate capacity reverse osmosis
process trains. The reverse osmosis system is designed to operate at a 75% recovery rate.
However, as the membrane filtration unit's age it can be expected that the recovery rate will
decrease to approximately 70% prior to membrane replacement. The Village is planning on the
addition of a third 1.2 MGD permeate capacity skid in the near future. The installation of a third
reverse osmosis train will increase the permeate capacity to the ultimate build-out capacity of 3.6
MGD. The expansion of the reverse osmosis treatment process will provide the Village with
increased flexibility with regard to meeting the potable water demands of the service area during
times of drought and water restrictions which could potentially impact the availability of raw water
from the surficial aquifer.
The Village distribution system consists of water mains from 4-inch to 24-inch diameter. The
water mains vary in materials and age. The oldest mains were constructed with asbestos cement
pipe and the new mains constructed with PVC or ductile iron. The distribution system includes
three ground storage facilities. Two of the storage facilities are located at the water treatment
plant site. These tanks have respective capacities of 2.0 MG and 0.5 MG. The third ground
storage facility is located at the Village's Public Works Facility (PWF) and has a storage capacity
of 0.5 MG. System losses for the Village's distribution system are 2-3% on an average basis.
Distribution pumping facilities include high service pumps located at the Village's water treatment
plant and a remote pumping station located at the Village's PWF. There are three high service
pumps located at the water treatment plant. Two of the pumps have a design capacity of 2,275
gpm (3.28 MGD) and the third has a capacity of 1,275 gpm (1.84 MGD). The remote pumping
station is also equipped with three distribution pumps. Two of pumps have a design capacity of
700 gpm (1.0 MGD) and the third pump has a design capacity of 1,000 gpm (1.44 MGD). Based
on the projected potable water demands through the Year 2025 and the applicable fire flow
demand the existing pumping facilities will be adequate and will not need to be modified and/or
expanded.
The location of the Village's water treatment plant, raw water supply wells and ground storage
facilities are shown on Figure 3-2.
As of July 2007, the Village is no longer purchasing bulk quantities of finished water from the
Town of Jupiter. The Village does, however, maintain two emergency interconnects with the
Town of Jupiter. In the event of an emergency within either of the neighboring municipalities
(Village and Town of Jupiter) the interconnects provide a means for each municipality to provide

uninterrupted service to their respective potable water users. The Village is not and has no
intentions to enter into any Interlocal agreements with the Town of Jupiter to purchase or sell bulk
quantities of finished water. The Village does, however, have an Interlocal Agreement with
Jupiter-Martin Utilities to sell bulk water quantities.

3.7 Water Conservation
Data and Analysis
The Village has been proactive in the practice of water conservation for a number of years
through the enactment of multiple Village ordinances, institutional controls and community
outreach and education programs. The Village's current water conservation plan consists of the
following elements:
• Permanent Irrigation Ordinance - An ordinance which restricts landscape irrigation to the
hours of 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m., seven days per week has been in effect for several
years within the Village service area. This ordinance in addition to any irrigation
restrictions imposed by the SFWMD.
• Xeriscape Ordinance - An ordinance which requires the use of xeriscape landscape
principles is in effect for the Village service area.
• Ultra-Low Volume Plumbing Fixture Ordinance - An ordinance which requires ultra-low
volume plumbing fixtures on all new construction is in effect for the Village service area.
• Rain Sensor Device Ordinance - An ordinance which requires any person who purchases
and installs an automatic lawn sprinkler system to install, operate and maintain a rain
sensor device or automatic switch which will override the irrigation system with the
occurrence of adequate rainfall is in effect for the Village service area.
• Water Conservation Rate Structure -The Village has aconservation-based rate structure
which includes increasing blocks as a means of reducing demands.
• Leak Detection Program -The Village has an unaccounted for water and leak detection
program. The program includes water auditing procedures, in-field leak detection efforts
and repair.
• Water Conservation Education Program -The Village regularly distributes flyers to
employees and customers. Information signs, press releases and messages regarding
water conservation are also printed on customer bills.
• Reuse Water -Wastewater treatment within the service area is provided by either onsite
septic systems or the Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District (ENCON).
ENCON provides reuse water to several golf courses within the Village service area. A
discussion of the reuse system is provided under subsequent sections of this Work Plan.

3.8 Reuse Water
Data and Analysis
As mentioned above, ENCON provides irrigation quality (i.e. reuse quality) water to four golf
courses located within the Village service area. The use of reuse water to irrigate these sites,
which are historically large quantity users, significantly reduces the potable water production
demand at the Village's WTP and in turn the quantity of raw water withdrawn from both the
surficial and Floridan aquifer. A summary of the reuse application sites and the allotted daily
usage at each site is shown in Table 3-5.
Table 3-5: VOT -Reuse Application Sites and Allotted Usages
Reuse Application Site Daily Allocation (MGD)
Jupiter Hills Country Club
Turtle Creek Golf Course
Tequesta Country Club
L10
0.55
0.50
Total: 2.15
Based on discussions with ENCON, there are currently no plans to expand or add additional
reuse application sites within the Village service area. Furthermore, the current daily allocations
provided to each site appear to be sufficient to meet the needs of each of the existing reuse
application sites, therefore an increase in the allocations at each site is also not anticipated.
Since the application of reuse water for irrigation has been ongoing within the Village service area
for a number of years the projected potable water demands of the service area have been
developed exclusive of the required irrigation demand at each of the applications sites. If in the
future there is additional reuse demand within the Village service area and reuse water quantities
are available, the potable water demand projections of the service area would be updated to
reflect the expansion of the reuse system. A reuse service map showing the layout of the reuse
application sites within the Village service area is provided as Figure 3-3.

4. Capital Improvements
4.1 Work Plan Projects and Schedule
Capital Improvements
As part of the preparation of the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, local governments which are
self-supplied are required to evaluate the existing community water system and determine what
improvements, if any, will be required to the existing treatment systems and/or distribution
infrastructure to meet the potable water demands of the service area over the projection duration.
The Village has completed an evaluation of the current system and infrastructure based on the
projected potable water demands of the Village service area over the next 25 years. The projects
identified will be essential to the Village meeting the potable water demands of the service area.
It should be noted that the projects anticipated within the next five years are consistent with the
projects identified in Appendix A of the SFWMD LEC Plan Update.
The following work plan projects are anticipated within the next five years and will be incorporated
into the Village's capital improvement plan (CIP):
• Expansion of the reverse osmosis treatment system at the Village's WTP. The expansion
will include the installation of a third, 1.2 MGD permeate capacity R.O. skid, which will
increase the total permeate capacity of the plant to 3.6 MGD.
• The installation of the wellhead piping and appurtenances at the previously installed
Floridan aquifer well designated R-4. The installation of a third R.O. process train will
necessitate the equipping of the well to provide redundancy of the Floridan raw water
supply wells. This project will also include the installation of the associated raw water
main.

5.1 Raw Water Supply vs. Projected Potable Water Demand
Summary and Conclusion:
As previously discussed, the potable water demand projection data is based on the data
provided to us by the SFWMD. It should be noted that an evaluation of the data provided by the
SFWMD with current operating data indicates that data provided is consistent with the current
population increase and per capita water usage within the Village's service area.
A summary of the raw water capacity available, per the requested SFWMD WUP allocations, and
the treatment facility capacity versus the projected potable water demands of the Village service
area through the Year 2025 is shown in Table 5-1.

The plant treatment capacity includes all potable water production capacity available from both the manganese
greensand filtration process train (2 7 MGD) as well as the reverse osmosis process trains (currently two at 1.2 MGD
each and in Year 2010, three a L2 MGD each). It should be noted that it is not likely that all process trains (m anganese
greensand and reverse osmosis) will operate at full capacity at the same time. Based on the information submitted as part
of the water use permitting process, the Village; upon construction of the third reverse osmosis process train, intends to
~- operate two of the three reverse osmosis trains as duty trains with the third train as a standby train. The balance of the
potable water production will be supplemented by the manganese greensand process train. This operating scenario will
allow the Village to retain flexibility and operate more cost efficiently.
'The required combined WUP annual allocation to meet the potable water demands of the service area from Year 2005
to Year 2015 is based on a 60/40 production split from the manganese greensand filtration train and the reverse osmosis
process trains, respectively. The required combined WUP annual allocation to meet the potable water demands of the
- service area from Year 2015 to Year 2025 is based on a 22/78 production split from the manganese greensand f iltration
~ train and the reverse osmosis process trains, respectively. These values assume a worst case recovery of 90% from the
manganese greensand filtration process train and 70% from the reverse osmosis train.
'The required combined WUP maximum month allocation to meet the potable water demands of the service area to Year
t 2015 is based on operation of the three, 1.2 MGD permeate capacity (3.6 MGD total) reverse osmosis trains at full
capacity and supplementing the potable water demands with production from the manganese greensand filtration process
train, The required combined WUP maximum month allocation to meet the potable water demands of the service area

Summary and Conclusion:
A comparison of the data shown in Table 5-1 indicates that the Village will be capable of meeting the
potable water demands of the Village service area through the Year 2025 based on the current and
future plant production capacity. A comparison of the anticipated potable water demands of the Village
service area to the requested WUP annual withdrawal allocations from the Floridan aquifer and surficial
aquifer indicates that the Village will be required to request for an increase in the annual average and
maximum monthly withdrawal allocations from the SFWMD prior to the Year 2015 to meet the projected
potable water demands through the Year 2025. It should be noted that the data presented in Table 5-1
includes, where applicable, the proposed capital improvement projects to be completed in accordance
with the schedule provided in Section 4.
