BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS

Chairman Luczynski noted that District staff had been working with the City of North Port for about a year to bring more reclaimed water to the District. The City now discharges approximately 1.8-2 million gallons of reclaimed water each day down a deep injection well that the District would like to receive. An outline of how that can occur and evolve, including design, operations, and funding, will be presented by Dewberry Engineering at the April meeting.

Chairman Luczynski also stated that the time was near for the expansion of the Southwest Florida Water Reclamation Facility from the current processing capacity of 2 million gallons per day to 4 million gallons per day. Kimley Horn will also present a plan for the expansion in April. Both projects will dovetail together.

Chairman Luczynski stated that these are very exciting projects for the District because when the last irrigation master plan was updated there was believed to be a shortage of eight to ten million gallons a day of irrigation water at full build out and these two projects are anticipated to alleviate some of that deficit.
