Discussionand direction on how to achieve 100% compliance with
requirement to connect to central sewers when systems are available (e.g. Big Coppitt, Key Largo,
etc.).
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Historically, County Code Compliance has enforced the requirement to
connect within 30 days of notice of availability of central wastewater service. The Florida Keys
Aqueduct Authority(FKAA)and the Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District (KLWTD) are advising
owners of unconnected properties that Code Compliance has been or will be notified of the failure to
connect. Compliance actions taken to date by FKAA and the KLWTD are summarized in back-up
Memorandum from the WastewaterDepartment. The Annual Work Program adopted in the Spring
2011 calls for 75% connection by July 2012 and 100% connection by July 2013.
