AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of the construction of a wastewater treatment plant on
Rockland Key as the preferred treatment alternative for the Big Coppitt sewer area.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Of the options for Big Coppitt wastewater treatment presented at the
January 25, 2006 special meeting, it has been determined that the construction of a plant on Rockland
Key is the least costly option. A purchase price could not be negotiated between the Florida Keys
Aqueduct Authority (FKAA) and K W Resort Utility (KWRU).
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On January 25,2006, the BOCC directed staff to
perform a comparative cost analysis for construction of a wastewater treatment plant on Rockland Key
or construction of a transmission line from the Big Coppitt Sewer Area to the Stock Island treatment
plant with the negotiation of a bulk user agreement with KWRU or purchase of the plant by FKAA.
