A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE THE ATTACHED ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO SHARE THE COST OF A RECLAIMED WATER MAIN EXTENSION ON WILES ROAD.
body
BACKGROUND:
The City has identified reclaimed water as an alternative water supply source for its service areas and as a major component of the City’s Green Plan and the Reclaimed Water Master Plan, which the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) co-funded in 2004. The City has a reclaimed water main connection with Broward County’s reclaimed water metering station at Wiles Road and NW 39th Avenue. Design plans have been prepared to extend the reclaimed water main west along Wiles Road to Lyons Road and then south to Cullum Road for irrigation of medians and future expansion in the City’s MainStreet area.
DISCUSSION:
The City applied for cost-share funding for this reclaimed water main extension from the SFWMD on May 9, 2016, through the SFWMD Cooperative Funding Program Alternative Water Supply (AWS). The SFWMD’s Governing Board approved the City’s application on September 8, 2016, to provide the City with cost-share funding up to $300,000.

Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
