MORNINGSIDE RECLAIMED WATER SYSTEM |
| Project Number: |
05-0022-UT |
| Project Location: |
Morningside Subdivision Area, also Hercules Ave., Lakeview Rd. and Corbett St. (Belleair Country Club Area). |
| Project Description: |
The Morningside Reclaimed Water (RCW) Project was approved for grant funding in 2004 and design was completed in November 2006. Due to lower than anticipated residential interest in reclaimed water within the service area, mostly due to existing irrigation sources such as wells and lake withdraw, the project has been placed on hold. Subsequently, to encourage support and to provide education on benefits of reclaimed water, the City has attended homeowner association meetings, initiated irrigation source surveys and distributed customer questionnaires to better understand the service area. Recent survey results and feasibility studies have led to a revised service area that will meet the criteria of the Cooperative Funding Agreement between the City and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).
The revised service area requires the connection of several large users to meet the criteria including Clearwater High School, Church of Christ, Masonic Lodge, Rousseau Cemetery, Plumb Elementary School, Oak Grove Middle School and Belleair County Club (BCC). With the exception of BCC, these large users are located between the Skycrest and Morningside Service Areas. As such, this project involves approximately 7,800-linear feet (LF) of 8-inch transmission main to be constructed between the two service areas to provide RCW service to the large users and to provide a “looped” system between the east and west RCW systems. Further, this project involves the construction of approximately 2,260-LF of 8-inch transmission main to serve BCC and 2,400-LF of 4-inch distribution piping that will serve Oak Grove Middle School and the residences along Morningside Drive.
To provide service to the BCC, this project will also require a flow control station within City Right-of-Way (ROW) along Corbett Street and a Utility Easement from said ROW to a new outfall box where the RCW will be discharged into a storage pond and utilized for irrigation by the BCC Golf Course.
Upon completion of the design, the transmission main, distribution piping, flow control station and outfall structure will be incorporated into the Morningside Contract Documents for bidding purposes.
