I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) is to
identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new
development within the local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part 11, F.S., requires
local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18
months after the water management district approves a regional water supply plan or its update.
The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan la ate was approved by the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) on November 8, 2018,
Residents of Monroe County obtain their water directly from the Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority (FAA), which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for
existing and future customers.
The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) will reference the
initiatives already identified in FKAA's 20-year Water System Capital Improvement Master
Plan, According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and associated comprehensive plan
amendments must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk
sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and
new development for at least a 10-year planning period. The Monroe County Work Plan will
have the same planning time schedule consistent with the comprehensive plan and the Lovier
East Coast Water Supj)ly Plan Update.
The County's Work Plan is divided into five sections:
Section I — Introduction
Section 2 —Background information
Section 3 — Data and Analysis
Section 4—Work Plan Projects/Capital Improvement Element/Schedule
Section 5 —Goals, Objectives, Policies
1.1 Statutory History
The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, 2005, 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016
sessions to address the state's water supply needs. These bills, particularly Senate Bills 360
and 444 (2005legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes
(F.S.) by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared
by the water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local
governments. In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between
local land use planning and water supply planning.
1.2 Statutory Requirements
Monroe County has considered the following statutory provisions when updating the Water
1
Supply Facilities, Work Plan (Work Plan):
1,. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water
management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
2, Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water supplies
and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S. Data and analysis
demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be
available to meet projected growth demands must accompany all proposed Future Land
Use Map amendments Submitted to the Department for review.
3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities area available to serve new
development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing a
certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier prior to
approving a building permit, to determine whether adequate water Supplies will be
available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate of
occupancy [s.163.3180(2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005].
4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater
Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element"), within 18 months after the
water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to:
a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by the
local government from projects identified in the updated Lower East Coast
Regional Water Supply Plan, or the alternative project(s) proposed by the local
government under s. 373.709(8)(b), F.S. [s, 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.];
b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply pro'jects and the
conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current and future water use
demands within the Lower East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan [s.
163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and
c. Update the Work Plan for at least a .1 0-year planning period for constructing the
public, private, and regional water supply facilities identified in the element as
necessary to serve existing and new development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
5. Revise the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water supply,
reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five-year
period [s. 163.3177(3)(a)4, F.S.].
6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes,
described in Paragraph I through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to assess
projected water needs and sources for at least a 10-year planning period, considering
the Lower East Coast Regional Water Supply Plan, as well as applicable consumptive
use permit(s). [s.163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.]
The plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the
existing and projected water use demand for established planning period, considering
the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167 (9), F.S.]
7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes
described in Paragraphs I through 5 above, revise theIntergovernmental. Coordination
2
Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with the Dower :fast Coast
Regional Water Supply Plan. [s.163.3177(6)(h)L, F.S.]
K While an Evaluation and Appraisal Report is not required, local governments are
encouraged to comprehensively evaluate, and, as necessary, update comprehensive
plans to reflect changes in local conditions. The evaluation could address the extent to
which the local government has implemented the need to update their Work Plan,
including the development of alternative water supplies, and determine whether the
identified alternative water supply projects, traditional water supply projects,bulk sales
agreements, and conservation and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands.
[s.,163.3191 (3) F&I
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Overview
Monroe County was incorporated in 1824, making it one of the first counties established in the
State of Florida. Monroe County includes an approximately 112-mile long string of islands
served by Highway US 1, an area of approximately 1,200,344 acres bounded by the Atlantic
Ocean to the east and south, the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Bay to the west, and Miami-Dade
County to the north. Incorporated municipalities within Monroe County encompass 12,678
acres,which include Key West,Marathon, Key Colony Beach, Layton, and Istarnorada. A non-
contiguous uninhabited mainland portion of Monroe County totaling 944,275 acres is located
within Everglades National, Park with another 126,437 acres located within Big Cypress
National Park. Fort Jefferson/Dry Tortugas National Parks total almost 64,379 acres. The
remaining unincorporated area totals 5 1,747 acres or approximately 81 square miles.
Monroe County has limited or restricted growth potential. Future development potential and
population growth is limited by linear geography, the amount of land already in public
ownership, and the scarcity of vacant and developable land, together with growth restrictions
dictated by the County's Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) and Non-Residential
Rate of Growth Ordinance (NROGO), These growth ordinances were developed following
designation of the Florida Keys Area of Critical State Concern and the completion of the
Florida Keys Carrying Capacity Study. The unincorporated County's total ROGO annual
allocation for new residential building permit,, is 197 dwelling units per year, and the County
allocates 47,0�83 square feet of new floor area for nonresidential uses. This provides the FKAA
with a firm basis for predicting future water supply allocation needs.
Existing land use data in the 2011 Technical Document of the Monroe County Comprehensive
Plan reveals that 4,988 acres or 6.8% of the total gross acreage in the unincorporated County
(outside the mainland portion) is dedicated to residential uses. The remaining gross acreages
,are allocated to nonresidential uses such as commercial (1.2%); industrial (0.6%); institutional
(0.2%);recreational(1.8%); military(5.5%);conservation(75.9%); and vacant or undeveloped
(3.2%). The County does not anticipate substantial increases in land area in the near future,
unless there is policy decision from the municipalities for dissolution. In the meantime, the
residential and nonresidential growth rate is anticipated to be minimal for the next 10 to 20
years due to ROGO and NROGO.

2.2 Relevant Regional Issues
As the state agency responsible for water supply in the Lower East Coast (LEC)planning area,
the SFWMD plays a pivotal role in resource protection, through criteria used for Consumptive
Use Permitting. As pressure increased on the Everglades ecosystem resource, the Governing
Board initiated rule-making to limit increased allocations dependent on the Everglades,system.
As a result, the Regional Water Availability Rule was adopted by the Governing Board on
February 15, 2007 as part of the SFWMD's water use perrnit program. This reduced reliance
on the regional system for future water supply needs, and mandates the development of
alternative water supplies and an increase in the use of conservation and reuse techniques.
The LEC Planning Area relies on fresh groundwater and surface water for urban, agricultural,
and industrial uses. However, traditional freshwater sources in the LEC Planning Area are not
sufficient to meet projected 2040 water demands. Analyses indicate increases in allocations
of fresh groundwater from the SAS and surface water from Lake Okeechobee are not available
to meet the growing needs of the LEC Planning Area during .1-in-10 year drought conditions.
The regional issues identified for 2040 in the Lower East Coust Water Supply Plan Update
(adopted November 8, 20 18) include:
1. Fresh surface water and groundwater are limited; further withdrawals could have
irripacts on the regional system, wetlands, existing legal uses, and saltwater intrusion.
As a result, additional alternative water supplies need to be developed.
2. Expanded use of reclaimed water is necessary to meet future water supply demands
and the Ocean Outfall Law.
3. Expanded use of brackish groundwater from the Floridan. aquifer system requires
careful planning and wellfield management to prevent undesirable changes in water
quality.
The sole source provider of potable water to Monroe County is FKAA, whose wellfield is
located in Florida City. The limited availability of AS withdrawals, presents a potential risk
to the water supply for all of Monroe County. FKAA is a permitted Floridan Aquifer User,
which should offset any anticipated drought-driven salt water intrusion event. FKAA also
operates reverse osmosis facilities in Marathon and Stock Island.
Other regional water issues have been identified by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate
Change Compact, which includes Palm Beach, Broward, Miarni-Dade and Monroe Counties.
The Compact communities have agreed to use a sea level rise prediction of between 6 and 10
inches by 20�30, and between 14 and 26 inches by the year 2060 for planning purposes in the
Southeast Florida region until more definitive information on future sea level rise is available
(the Compact's A Un ied Sea Level Rise Projection Jbr Southeast Florida, October, 2015).
The potential landward rnovenient of the salt water intrusion line resulting from the impact of
sea level rise may affect future decisions regarding the implementation of capital
improvernents, requiring adaptation mitigation strategies to preserve the potable water supply,
Monroe County's climate change and sustainability consultants have recently SUrnmarized
hydrologic modeling by the United States Geological Survey that suggests relatively low risk
4
to the FKAA wellfields in Florida City under even the worst-case 2060 sea level rise scenarios,
Bowever, FKAA continues to monitor the most current data and analysis regarding this issue.
FKAA is a permitted Floridan Aquifer User, which should offset any anticipated drought-
driven salt water, intrusion event. Further, FKAA also operates RO facilities in Marathon and
Stock Island, with a combined supply capacity of 3 MGD, as an alternative water source for
the county during emergencies and extreme peaks in demand.
3.0 DATA AND ANALYSIS
3.1 Population Information
The County's existing and future population figures are derived from the projections prepared
by Fishkind and Associates for the Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update (March
15, 2011). The methodology for the preparation of these projections was approved by the
Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (formerly known as the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA). Table 9 of this report identifies unincorporated functional
population (permanent and seasonal) projections from 2000-2030. In 2000, the unincorporated
functional population was 69,277. This increased to 70,808 in 2010 and is projected to be
71,763 in 2015; 72,494 in 2020,- 73,225 in 2025; and 73,956 in 2030. The projection reflects a
total increase of 4,,679 in population with a predicted decrease in permanent population and
increase in seasonal population.
The relatively minor increase in population growth is reflective of the fact that County
development is substantially constrained, with future development potential and population
growth limited by the amount of land in public ownership and the scarcity of vacant
developable land, together with growth restrictions dictated by the County's Residential Rate
of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) and Non-Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance (NROGO).
These growth ordinances were developed following designation of the Florida Keys Area of
State Critical Concern and the completion of the Florida Keys Carrying Capacity Study. The
County's total ROGO annual allocation for new residential building permits is 197 dwelling
units per year. This provides a firm basis for predicting future water supply allocation needs.
3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served
A map depicting current and future County boundaries served by the FKAA is included as
Figure I on page 8 of this document.
3.3 Potable Water Level of Service (LOS) Standard
Pursuant to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County has an adopted Potable Water LOS
of 100 gallon s/capita/day, which was based on historical data through December 2011 and
provided by FKAA in December 2012,. The unincorporated Monroe County 2018 functional
population was 72,201. Therefore, T2 MGD or more of water supply capacity is required to
meet the adopted concurrency standard for residential potable water.
3.4 Population and Potable Water Demand Projections
5
The population estimates and projections and the potable water demand projections for
unincorporated Monroe County are presented below in Table 1, based on the adopted Potable
Water LOS standard of 100 gallons/capita/day. The projections are through the year 2030. The
population projections are consistent with the other elements of the comprehensive plan. The
water demands are for finished water.

The population estimates and projections and the potable water dernand projections for the
entire FKAA service area are presented below in Table 2. The projections are through the
year 2030, and apply the adopted LOS standard of 100 gallons/capita/day to the entire
service area,

The FKAA's Draft update to then- 20-year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan,
Section 2, Population and Water Demand Forecast compares projected population and potable
water demand for the entire FKAA service area, with a slightly higher assumed consumption
rate of 115 gallons/capita/day for their future dernand projections. Based on this rate, FKA.A's
average daily water demand for the entire service area is expected to increase from 17.7 MGD
in 2018 to 18.9 MGD in 2030,
FKAA's current Water Use Permit provides an annual allocation of 8,751 Million Gallons
(MG)or 23.98 MGD which is sufficient to meet water demand projections for the entire service
area.

3.5 Water Supply Provided by Local Government
Monroe County does not supply potable water to Unincorporated Monroe County and its
municipalities.
3.6 Water Supply Provided by Other Entities
The Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority (FKAA) is the sole provider of potable water in the
Florida Keys, established by Special Legislation, Chapter 76-441, L.O.F. (as amended).
FKAA's primary water supply is the Biscayne Aquifer, a shallow groundwater source. The
FKAA's wellfield is located within an environmentally protected pine rockland forest west of
Florida City. The location of the wellfield near Everglades National Park, along with
restrictions enforced by state and local regulatory agencies, contributes to the unusually high
water, quality. These wells contain some of the highest quality groundwater in the state,
meeting all regulatory standards prior to treatment. Additionally, the FKAA is continually
monitoring, assessing, and working to eliminate potential hazards to our water source,
including inappropriate aquifer utilization, unsuitable land uses, and the potential for saltwater
intrusion.
The groundwater from the wellfield is treated at the FKAA's Water Treatment Facility in
Florida City, which currently has a maximum water treatment design capacity of 29.8 million
gallons per day (MGD). The primary water treatment process is a conventional lime
softening/filtration water treatment plant and is capable of treating up to 23.8 MGD from the
Biscayne Aquifer. The secondary water treatment process is the newly constructed reverse
osrriosis (RO) water treatment plant which is capable of producing 6 MGD from the brackish
Floridan Aquifer. The product water from these treatment processes is then disinfected and
fluoridated. The FKAA treated water is pumped 130 miles fi-oni Florida City to Key West
supplying water to the entire Florida Keys.
The FKAA maintains storage tank facilities which provide an. overall storage capacity of 45.2
i-million gallons, system wide. The sizes of tanks vary from 0.2 to 5.0 rnillion gallons. These
tanks are utilized during periods of peak water demand and serve as an emergency water
supply. Since the existing transmission line serves the entire Florida Keys (including Key
West), and storage capacity is an integral part of the system, the capacity of the entire system
must be considered together, rather than in separate service districts.
Additionally, two saltwater RO plants, located on Stock Island and Marathon, are available to
produce potable water under emergency conditions, The RO desalination plants have design
capacities of 2.0 and 1.0 MGD, respectively.
At present, Key West and Ocean Reef are the only areas of the County served by a flow of
potable water sufficient to fight fires. Outside of Key West, firefighters rely on a variety of
water sources, including tankers, swimming pools, and salt water either from drafting sites on
the open water or from specially constructed fire wells. Although sufficient flow to fight fires
is, not guaranteed, new hydrants are being installed as water lines are replaced to make water
available for fire-fighting purposes, and pump station./tank facilities are being upgraded to

Demand for Potable Water
Figures 2 and 3, provide a historical overview of the water demands in the FKAA service area
including Water Use Permit (WUP') allocation limits, yearly percent changes, and remaining
water allocations, In March 2008, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
approved the FKAA's modification of WUP 13-00005-5-W for a 20-year allocation from the
Biscayne and Floridan Aquifers. This modified WUP provides an annual allocation of 8,,751
Million Gallons (MG) or 23.98 MGD and a maximum monthly allocation of 809 MG with a
limited annual withdrawal from the Biscayne Aquifer of 6,492 MG or 17.79 MGD and an
average dry season (December I"-April 3 oth) of 17.0 MGD,
In order to meet the requirements of this limitation, the FKAA constructed a new Floridan
Aquifer Reverse Osmosis (RCS) water treatment system. This RCS water treatment system is
designed to withdraw brackish water from the Floridan Aquifer, an alternative water source
approximately 1,000 feet below the ground surface, and treat the water to drinking water
standards. The RCS water treatment plant provides added capability to limit, Biscayne aquifer
withdrawals and is designed to meet current and future water demands. The RC)I water
treatment system provides an additional 6.0 MGD of potable water.
9
Along with the new reverse osmosis water treatment plant, compliance with withdrawal limits
can also be accomplished by using other alternative water sources (blending of the Floridan
Aquifer, reclaimed water and operation of the RO desalination plants), pressure reduction,
public outreach, and assistance from municipal agencies in enforcing water conservation
ordinances.

As shown in Figure 5, in 2018, the FKAA distributed an annual average of 17.64 MGD from
the Biscayne Aquifer plus 0.24 MGD from Floridan RO Production. This table also provides
the water treatment capacities of the emergency RO plants. Since the emergency RO plants
utilize seawater, a WUP is not required for these facilities.

The 2018 figures, and projections for 2019 indicate a slight increase in annual average daily
demand frorn. 17.64 to 1.8.2 MGD and an increase in maximum monthly demand from 586.04
NIGD to 604.37 MG. Preliminary projections from FKAA for 2020 indicate no increase in
annual average daily demand from the 2019 projections.
Figure 6 provides the amount of water used on a per capita basis. Based on Functional
Population and average daily demand, the average water consumption for 2018 was
approximately H 3 gallons per capita (person), which reflects the entire FKAA service area,
including unincorporated Monroe County, Key West, Marathon, Islamorada, Key Colony

Irrivrovements to Potable Water Facilities
FKAA has a 20-year Water System Capital Itt'iproverrient Master Plan for water supply, water
treatment, transmission mains and booster pump stations, distribution mains, facilities and
structures, information technology, reclaimed water systems, and Navy water systems.
In 198 , FKAA embarked on the Distribution System Upgrade Program to replace
approximately 190 miles of galvanized lines throughout the Keys. FKAA continues to replace
and upgrade its, distribution system throughout the Florida Keys and the schedule for these
upgrades is reflected in their long-range capital improvement plan,
Figure 7 provides the schedule and costs projected for the capital improvements to the
potable/ahernative water systems; planned by the FKAX The total cost of the scheduled
improvements is approximately $140 million over the next 5 years. These proJects are to be
funded by the water rate structure, long-term bank loans, and grants.

In summary, based on current conditions and projects, an adequate supply of water to meet
current and future dei-nands is provided by the following: The Biscayne permitted water supply
of 17.79 NIGD, the 6.0 MGD RO water treatment plant, the new reclaimed water systems, and
the ability to operate the 3.0 MGD RO desalination plants during emergency situations. The
FKAA continues to monitor and track conditions and events that could negatively impact the
existing water supply. Any such impacts will be evaluated to determine future changes,
necessary to continue servicing Monroe County with adequate water supply.
3.7 Conservation
One method of reducing water use and increasing the availability potable water is the
implementation of Best Management Practices for water use. Mandatory outdoor water
restrictions, water rate pricing and xeriscape landscaping that utilizes native flora can all assist
in reducing potable water demand and the impacts of future growth,
3.7.1 County-Wide Issues
Water conservation is one method available to promote the reduction of use and. increase of
availability of potable water. FKAA irnplernents a high base water rate for water use, which
effectively deters wasteful water use. Implementation of mandatory year-round watering
restrictions also aid in conserving water. Additionally, FKAA is transitioning to smart meters
which allow customers to electronically monitor usage, this will. also include leak status
reports,
3.7.2 Local Government Specific Actions, Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities
Monroe County will coordinate future water conservation efforts, with the FKAA and the
SFWMD to ensure that proper techniques are applied.. In addition, the County will continue to
support and existing goals, objectives and policies, in the comprehensive plan that promote
water conservation in a cost-effective and environmentally Sound manner. The County will
also continue to actively support the SFW.MD and FKAA in the implementation of new
regulations or programs that are structured to conserve water during the dry season.
Monroe County has also adopted an Interlocal Agreement between FKAA and Monroe
County, that will ensure the availability of potable water prior to the issuance of a building
permit. This agreement is referenced in the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Monroe
County 2030 Comprehensive Plan Policy 1301,L 10, which states:
Monroe Coun(y shall inaintain. an interlocal agreenient u1th die FKAA �Ifich

No� 022-2009)
14
3.8 Reuse
Water reuse is a method for supplementing water availability. Desalination at the source
through reverse osmosis is presently incorporated within the design of new water treatment
facilities that tap into the Floridan Aquifer. Some local communities, such as Key Colony
Beach,use recycled water to irrigate its municipal golf course. However,the cost of developing
a centralized collection, treatment, and distribution system for recycled water in a county such
as Monroe that is less than 5 miles wide and 1 ]2 miles long, creates significant 'feasibility
challenges.
Monroe County, together with FKAA and the Key Largo Sanitary Sewer District, has
implemented a public infrastructure program to construct and operate central sewer collection
and treatment systems. Sewage treatment facilities will have the capability to make available
gray water for non-potable water applications, such as irrigation for County parks and
landscaped fights-of-way. However, the lack of possible users, has inhibited the necessary
investment to create and maintain a viable reuse water distribution system.
3.8.1. Regional and County-wide Issues
State law supports reuse efforts. For the past years, Florida's utilities, local governments, and
water management districts have led the nation in implementing water reuse programs that
increase the quantity of reclaimed water used and public acceptance of reuse programs. Section
373,250(1) F.S. provides, that "water reuse programs designed and operated in compliance with
Florida's rules governing reuse are deemed protective of public health and environmental
quality."' In addition, Section 403.064(l), F.S., provides that, "reuse is a critical component of
Inecting the State's existing and future water supply needs while sustaining natural systems."
3.8.2 Local Government Specific Actions, Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities
The County will support the SFWMD and FKAA water reuse projects and implernentation of
new regulations or programs designed to increase the volume of reclaimed water used and
public acceptance of reclaimed water. As a conservation measure, FKAA is transitioning to
smart meters which allow customers to electronically monitor usage,this will also include leak
status reports. To further encourage water conservation, FKAA is exploring reorganizing their
rate structure.
The County has established regulations limiting the clearing of native habitat and requiring
landscaping consisting of native plants, which are more drought tolerant and demand less,
irrigation than most non-native species. Irrigation standards have also been established which
all proposed systems must meet. Incentives for the installation of cistern rain collection
.systems are also encouraged,, such as the granting of positive points in the Rate of Growth
Ordinance permit allocation system.
As part of the County's 5-Year Greenkeys Sustainability Action Plan., recommended projects
such as low-flow water fixtures installed throughout County facilities, County employee
is
training program on water conservation office practices, and collaboration with FKAA on
rebates, and public education all aim to conserve water, Additionally, Monroe County along
with municipalities within the County and FKAA are collaborating to create and implement
future programs, policies and/or regulations to further conservation efforts.
3.9 Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Southeast Florida is widely considered one of the most vulnerable regions to the impacts of
climate change and sea level rise. This is especially true of the Florida Keys, a 1,12-mile string
of offshore islands connected by US I to Miami-Dade County. As discussed earlier, potential
landward movement of the salt water intrusion line resulting from the impact of sea level rise
may affect future decisions regarding the implementation of capital improvements, requiring
adaptation mitigation strategies to preserve the potable water supply. Monroe County's climate
change and sustainabiliLy consultants have recently summarized hydrologic modeling by the
United States Geological Survey that suggests relatively low risk to the FKAA wellfields in
Florida City Linder even the worst-case 2060 sea level rise scenarios. However, FKAA
continues to monitor the most current data and analysis regarding this issue.
3.10 Local Government Specific Actions, Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities
FKAA presently operates two reverse osmosis (RO) plants within Monroe County, in
Marathon and Stock Island, which have a combined production capacity of 3 MGD. A. Floridan
wellfield and RO water treatment facility were constructed by FKAA in Florida.City and have
been operational since the fall of 2009. This RO water treatment plant treats the brackish water
of the Floridan Aquifer and has a production capacity of 6 MGD. Storage facilities maintained
by the FKAA have a total storage capacity of 45.2 MG; of this amount, there is 12 MG of
storage available in above ground storage reservoirs at Florida City. The remaining capacity is
obtained from tanks located throughout the transmission and distribution system that provide
an additional 332 MG of storage capacity. It is therefore anticipated that FKAA will be well
positioned to accommodate Monroe County's future water demands as sea level rise impacts
South Florida's regional water supply.
4.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Work Plan Projects
The FKAA 20-Year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan identifies all proposed
work protects within Monroe County (See Exhibit A: Section 7.2 of the FKAA master plan).
4.2 Capital Improvements Element/Schedule
The Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan. has adopted a LOS of 100 gallons/capita/day.
The County will continue to work with FKAA to ensure that the adopted LOS is maintained.
Adoption by reference of Section 7.2 of the FKAA 2 -dear Water System Capital
Improvement Master Plan (see Exhibit A) will link water availability and programmed
improvements with the County's Concurrency Management System through the establishment
16
of a permit review and approval process that requires evidence of water supply availability
prior to the issuance of a building permit and certificate of occupancy.
Exhibit 7-2 of the FKAA 20-Year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan will serve
as Monroe County's I 0-year Water Supply Plan and. CIE for potable water (see Exhibit A),
5.0 GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The adopted and presently effective Monroe County Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan includes
several Goals, Objectives, and Policies (GOPs) that implenaent water supply concurrency and
conservation. These GOPs are located within the Potable Water Element, Intergovernmental

life expectancy of that infrastructure. Monroe County shall identify the
infrastructure within those areas, its useful life and any retrofits or capital
prqjects necessary to address the impacts of sea level rise. These strategies may
include defense, accommodation, or and retreat projects, or not building
planned infrastructure in vulnerable locations, to address the impacts of sea
27
level rise. Monroe County will consider developing design criteria, in

6.0 REGIONAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY PLANS
6.1 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update,November 8, 2018
28
The sole source provider of potable water to Monroe County is FKAA, whose wellfield is
located in Florida City. The limited availability of SAS withdrawals, presents a potential risk
to the water supply for all of Monroe County. FKAA is a permitted Floridan Aquifer User,
which should offset any anticipated drought-driven salt water intrusion event. FKAA also
operates reverse osmosis facilities in Marathon and Stock Island.
6.2 Integrating Climate Change & Water Supply Planning In Southeast Florida,
Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact,June 10, 2014
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, which includes Palm Beach,
Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties, predicts that the sea level will rise (the
Compact's A Unified Sea Lei)el Rise Pr(jectionft)r Southeast Florida [October, 2015] predicts
that the sea level, will rise between 6 and 10 inches by 2030). This may have implications
regarding the ability of the local utility to provide fresh potable water from the Biscayne
Aquifer to Monroe County as the salt water intrusion line shifts westward towards the FKAA
wellfield. Monroe County's climate change and sustainability consultants have recently
summarized hydrologic modeling by the United States Geological Survey that suggests
relatively low risk to the FKAA wellfields in Florida City under even the worst-case 2060 sea
level rise scenarios. However, FKAA continues to monitor the most current data and analysis
regarding this issue.
