WATER AND WASTEWATER EXPERIENCE Judge Farms Development Plan, Alternative Water Supply, Osceola

County/Toho Water Authority (TWA), FL – Project Consultant. This

multi- disciplined, multi-stakeholder project has three main objectives:

1) Promote economic development by creating building pads, extending

roadways and utilities and reclaiming existing stormwater ponds centered

around the Florida Advanced Manufacturing Research Center.

2) Provide a water storage facility for a minimum of 200,000,000, and up

to 425,000,000 gallons of water (6 MGD Annual Average) to

supplement TWA’s reclaimed water for irrigation, as part of the Central

Florida Water Initiative (CFWI).

3) Provide stormwater treatment to remove pollutant loading from Lake

Toho as part of the Lake Toho Nutrient Reduction Plan and Lake Toho

Restoration Initiative.

These objectives (using ENVISION  TM ) principles and guidelines were met under

the umbrella of one centralized project, The Judge Property Development Plan.

Osceola County and its partners; the Toho Water Authority, City of St. Cloud and

City of Kissimmee, have come together to conceive a project that has significant

regional impact. The water storage facility receives inflows pumped from three

tributaries, the Judge Farms ditch, Mill Slough, and the City of Kissimmee East

City Drainage Ditch. Additionally the reservoir will receive stormwater runoff

from the adjacent development of the remaining Judge Farms property,

approximately 400 acres, stormwater flow from the Heritage Park complex and

direct rainfall. The system loses water to evaporation and groundwater seepage.

Water from the reservoir will be treated and utilized to augment/supplement the

MacDill AFB Water & Wastewater Vulnerability Assessment Studies, Florida Governmental Utility Authority Project Manager. This project involved providing professional services related to the preparation of a vulnerability assessment (VA) for the MacDill Air Force Base (AFB) water and wastewater utility systems. MacDill AFB, through the Florida Governmental Utilities Authority (FGUA), requires a water and wastewater system VA. VAs are confidential documents, and serve to identify potential threats (e.g., natural disasters, accidents, or sabotage) to an installation’s ability to provide adequate quantities of potable water in emergency situations and to provide adequate treatment and disposal of wastewater in emergency situations. The VA is typically preceded by a sanitary survey (water or wastewater) which serves to identify shortcomings in the system and to help systems improve operational practices. The sanitary survey typically focuses on day-to-day practices and identifies circumstances where routine operations or existing conditions could cause system contamination. The VA focuses on extreme events and identifies issues of the water system that could cause system failure. As an aid to developing this VA for the FGUA, performed the following tasks for the sanitary survey process: water system sanitary survey and wastewater system sanitary survey; and for the vulnerability assessment: identified and described system by subsystem and/or component, identified probable hazards and hazard magnitude, estimated the likely effect on system components, estimated the water demand/ wastewater production following the event, estimated the supply/capacity shortfall by comparing supply and demand, and identified components responsible for the shortfall or quality reduction and possible mitigating measures.
