Tampa
Bay Water's Master Water Plan includes the development of water supplies
from surface, ground and baywater sources, the
construction of treatment facilities, and the installation of large-diameter
water transmission mains on a "fast track" schedule to meet the deadlines
established in the 1998 Interlocal Agreement and Partnership Plan.
Enhanced Surface Water System
Alafia River: New surface water
supply, intake structure and pump station.
Tampa Bypass Canal/Hillsborough River: new
surface water supply, intake structure and pump station.
South Central Hillsborough Intertie: new
72-inch diameter transmission main connecting the Alafia Pump Station
to the Regional Water Treatment Plant.
Tampa Bay Regional Reservoir: new,
offstream, above-ground reservoir for storage of 15 billion gallons
of water.
Tampa Bay Regional Water Treatment Plant Facilities Site: Includes
a new surface water treatment plant, ground water treatment plant,
and water storage, blending, and pumping facilities. Scheduled
to be complete by 12/31/2002.
New Groundwater Sources
Brandon Urban Dispersed Wells: rehabilitation
of existing ground water wells.
Scheduled to be complete by 11/30/2001 and produce six mgd (million gallons
daily).
Cone Ranch and Dispersed Wells: proposed
new well field.
Cypress Bridge II Well field: proposed new
well field.
Eagles: proposed increase of an existing facility.
Morris Bridge Sink
Crystals International
Cargill Reclaimed Exchange
Desalination
Mid-Pinellas Brackish Water Desalination: a
plan to obtain potable water from brackish aquifer sources in Pinellas
County.
Tampa Bay Desalination (at the TECO
Big Bend Facility): to be the largest facility of
its kind in the United States, designed to produce an average
of 25 mgd, with expansion capabilities to 35 mgd. Scheduled
to be complete by 12/31/2002.
Gulf Coast Desalination: a second seawater
desalination plant, to be considered for the 2000-2007 timeframe.
Pipelines
North Central Hillsborough Intertie: new
84-inch diameter transmission main that will take treated water from
the Regional Water Treatment Plant up to the regional distribution
system in the Morris Bridge area. The transmission main follows the
Tampa Bypass Canal right-of-way, tunneling under the Hillsborough
River.
Brandon/South Central Connection: 30-inch
diameter transmission main connecting South Central Hillsborough
Wellfield to Tampa Bay Water system. The connection will allowu
p to 10 million gallons of water per day to be transferred.
Loop 72 Transmillsion Main: a 72-inch diameter
pipeline proposed to run from Morris Bridge well field to Lake
Park Water Treatment Plant on North Dale Mabry Highway.
