NOTICE: NORTH COUNTY REGIONAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM
Dear Property Owner:
Suncom Telephone: 424-1011
Indian River County is presently investigating the
feasibility of developing a County maintained regional
wastewater treatment system to serve your area. The plant
will be initially designed and constructed to accommodate
those property owners who are interested in participating in
the development of the wastewater system. It is necessary
that all interested parties respond as soon as possible by
completing the enclosed Letter of Intent form.
The current wastewater impact fee is $1,250.00 per ERU. An
important factor to be considered is if you commit now, the
cost per unit will be frozen and this fee may be assessed
over a long period of time. If you decide to commit at a
later date, the cost per unit may be at a higher rate and
paid in one lump sum.
To accurately calculate the volume of wastewater service
needed in equivalent residential units (ERU), residential
properties will use the number of units per acre allowed
based upon the zoning of the property. To calculate
commercial equivalent residential units the following
formula is used:
Square Footage of Property x .40 x .10 divided by 250 =
Equivalent Residential Units
To be eligible to participate in this program,
complete the enclosed form and attach a copy of the property
deed or legal description and the property parcel number.
Your immediate response will ensure your required capacity
in the wastewater plant.
Please address all mail to:

Dear Sebastian Property Owner:
Indian River County is about to implement a long-awaited wastewater disposal
facility for the North County business district along the U.S. 1 corridor.
A feasibility study for the system has been funded by a number of property owners
in Roseland and Sebastian who have already committed themselves to hook up to the
system as soon as it is available.
This facility is necessary if we wish to attract further commercial development in
the Sebastian business district. Additional commitments are required if the
system is to be extended the length of the Sebastian City limits. The requirement
is for 700 more Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs). The enclosed form describes
how to determine the ERUs for your property.
The environmental benefit of this project is obvious and so is the inevitable
increase in property values that will follow. (here is also a considerable cost
benefit to you for voluntarily reserving your connection now rather than later -
or at a time when you may be required to do so for health reasons:
Your commitment now will entitle you to a guaranteed
hook-up cost of $1,250 per ERU. This fee may be
amortized, at your option, over a ten to twenty year
period.
If you delay, later hook-up fees may be assessed at
higher rates and full up -front cash payment will be
required at the time of application.
We need your prompt commitment so that this essential project may proceed.
Please send your reply on the enclosed form to:
Jeffrey Barton, Assistant Utilities Director

Authorization
This "North County Subregional Sewer Feasibility Study
and Report" has been prepared, and is presented, based on a
continuation of Indian River County Work Authorization 84,
dated March 12, 1986. The original Work Authorization called
for a study and report to Sewer the Roseland area of Indian
River County and portions of the City of Sebastian.In
reuponae to that Work Authorization, our office prepared,
completed and submitted the "Roseland Area Sewer Feasibility
Study and Report," dated May, 1986, to Indian River County.
The Report was accepted by Indian River County and
subsequently the study area to be sewered was substantially
expanded to the south. The County requested our office to
revise and amend the original "Roseland Area Sewer
Feasibility Study and Report" to include the newly expanded
study area. Our office made a comparison of the new study
area with the original Roseland Area and concluded that the
revisions and amendments could not be properly addressed by
simply revising the "Roseland Area Sewer Feasibility Study
and Report." Therefore, the "Roseland Area Sewer Feasibility
Study and Report" will remain in tact and we have prepared
this new report entitled "North County Subregional Sewer
Feasibility Study and Report," dated September, 1986. Much
-1-
of the contents of the "Roseland Study and Report" will be
used in this report.
The "North County Subregional Sewer Feasibility Study
and Report" will cover a contiguous study Alrea generally
bordered by the Sebastian River to the north, the FEC
Railroad to the west, and the Pelican Pointe and Village of
Lake Dolores development projects to the south.
The report contains Exhibits which show Phase I service
area limits; conceptual arterial "core" sewer system layout;
and the location of parcel numbers interested in connecting
to sanitary sewers. The report also contains general
background information regarding the County's ongoing water
and sewer programs; the need for and objectives of providing
public sewer in the North County Subregional Area; a general
description of the proposed arterial "core" public sewer
System; a construction cost estimate and recommendations.
General Background
The Indian River County Commissioners, through its
Utility Department, are moving forward with a progressive and
well planned program of providing water and sanitary sewer
facilities to the populated areas of Indian River County.
About a year ago, a major water project was completed
-2-
involving the extension of 20" and 16" water lines from
thevicinityof Oslo Road and 27th Avenue, generally west
along Oslo Road and north along Kings Highway to Route 60,
then west along Route 60 to its intersection with Intersate
Route 95. The water project also involved the construction
of a 750,000 gallon elevated water tank at the intersection
of Kings Highway and Route 60. This major water project
establishes the core of a water supply system for the Route
60 corridor of Indian River County, which is experiencing
rapid growth. Subsequently, a major sewer project was
constructed along the Route 60 corridor to furnish sewer
service to this growth area. The sanitary sewer construction
has been completed and primarily consists of an arterial or
"core" system of pumping stations and force mains into which
developers and existing development can connect. The sewer
project also includes construction of a new 1.0 MGD
wastewater treatment plant and effluent disposal facilities.
These two major water and sewer projects are relevant to
this study and report because they demonstrate that Indian
River County has a proven track record of constructing
Projects in a timely and cost. -effective manner. The same
Proven procedures used to construct the Route 60 projects are
Proposed for constructing the North County Subregional Sewer
Project.
-3-
With regard to project financing, the Route 60 water and
sewer projects were financed largely as the result of a
financing partnership effort between Indian River County and
Private project developers who needed water and sewer
facilities to make their projects viable. This arrangement
has resulted in benefits to both Indian River County and the
private developers. The County benefits by having the
arterial water and sewer systems constructed at no additional
cost to the exiating customers of the utility systems, and
the private developer benefits by having public water and
sewer systems available for his project's use. The same
partnership arrangement, with respect to financing between
Indian River County and potential public sewer users in the
North County Subregional area of Indian River County, is
being proposed for this sewer project. As a matter of fact,'
the funding for both this and the previous "Roseland" sewer
feasibility study and report has been generated through the
use of a voluntary contribution of $25.00 per Equivalent
Residential Unit (ERU) received by the County from many
Property owners interested in north County sewer service.
The County has stressed that connection to the proposed
sewer system will be voluntary and no one will be forced to
connect, unless the lack of connection will result in a
health problem.
1XIC
It is anticipated that Indian River County will proceed
with engineering and construction of the facilities deemed
feasible as a result of the findings in this study and report
through the use of the financing partnership between the
County and private sector so successfully utilized on the two
recent Route 60 corridor water and sewer projects.
Need for Public Sewers
The sanitary sewage needs of the North County
Subregional service area are presently being met by the use
of scattered small package wastewater treatment planta and
on-site septic Systems. The use of package planta and septic
Systems can be cost-effective and in harmony with the
environment when located in rural areas with relatively low
Population densities. However, public sewers are necessry in
order to provide for protection of environmentally sensitive
resources and to sustain orderly growth of more populated
areas.
Since the early 1980s, a growing number of civic leaders
have been recognizing the need to provide public sewers,
particularly in specific areas of the north County and the
City of Sebastian. The City of Sebastian has made repeated
efforts to find ways of bringing about a City-wide public
-5-
sewer system without success. Since the area of need for
public sewer does not respect political boundaries, it
appears that the common need for public sewers is serving to
form a partnership between Indian River County and the City
of Sebastian.
First, let's discuss the need for a public sewer system
in the North County Subregional Service Area of Indian River
County as it relates to environmental considerations. The
present discharge, either directly or indirectly, of package
treatment plant effluents and septic system effluents into
the Indian River and Sebastian River must cease as soon as
Possible. These two rivers are irreplaeable treasures and
amenities which make this area of Florida unique. They offer
scenic beauty and recreational enjoyment. The present lack
of public sewers will not stop growth, but will cause
continued increases in the pollution load discharged into the
Sebastian and Indian Rivers. Since both of these bodies of
water are slow moving and have little flushing, they are
prone to rapid pollution. The continued lack of public
sewers will result in the destruction by pollution of these
beautiful water amenities in the near future.
The
construction of a public sewer system which will intercept
wastewater and stop pollution of the Sebastian and Indian
Rivers is needed now.
A second need for public sewers is created by the
planned growth for specific areas of the North County
Subregional Service Area. A large portion of the land
bordered by the Indian River on the east and the FEC Railroad
on the west, and extending from the Sebastian River bridge
south, is planned for various commercial uses. Proper and
orderly commercial development and growth can only occur if
the infra -structure is in place to support it. One of the
main elements of this infra-atructure is the availability of
a public sewer system. At present, the commercial node in
Roseland at the intersection of U.S. Highway pl and Roseland
Road is growing rapidly even without the presence of public
sewer. There are three (3) package plants in the immediate
area of that commercial node and this, in itself, is evidence
of the long over -due need for a public sewer system. It
should also be recognized that there are some specific
commercial enterprises which cannot exist without public
sewers, Such as: laundromats, car washes, large restaurants,
and so forth. Therefore, public sewers are needed in order
to support balanced growth.
Objectives
The primary objective of this Sawa r feasibility study
-7-
and report is to establish a conceptual arterial "core" sewer
system design which is cost-effective, environmentally sound,
easily expanded, and acceptable to the permitting agencies.
It must be understood that the proposed sewage collection and
conveyance system has been conceptually designed to
strategically locate and size primary pump stations and
arterial force mains to serve the study area. Many property
owners have shown support for this project by contributing
825.00 per equivalent residential unit (ERU) in order to
finance this and the previous "Roseland" feasibility study
and report. The majority of these property owner's parcels
are located within the proposed Phase I service area. A list
of the parcel numbers, property owners, and the number of
ERUs credited, based on the feasibility study fee paid, is
included in the Appendix of this report under "Schedule 'A.' --
The location of these property parcels is shown on Exhibits
#1 through #5 which are included in the Appendix of this
report.
Subsequent to the completion of the "Roseland Area Sewer
Feasibility Study and Report," and a public hearing in
Sebastian early in May concerning the report, the City of
Sebastian and Indian River County waged a campaign seeking
additional support for this sewer project. From May to the
present time, a large number of letters stating intent to
-e-
connect to the proposed sewer system have been received by
Indian River County. The location of these properties, and
number of ERUs associated with the properties, is the primary
factor which has expanded the study area to the south and
located the proposed wastewater treatment plant and disposal
site to the west of the Whispering Palma Mobile Home Park.
Exhibits N1 through M5 included in the Appendix of ,this
report show the North County Subregional Sewer Study Area for
Phase I of the project, as well as the property parcel number
locations. Schedule "B" in the Appendix of this report is a
tabulation of parcel numbers, property owner names, total
ERUs, and total ERUs included in the service area based on
letters of intent received by Indian River County up to
August 15, 1986.
As can be seen by the Exhibits in the Appendix of thi's
report, many of the parcel numbers are scattered with a good
deal of area between them. This situation generally results
in a very inefficient and costly sewer system design. It
should be understood that the most cost-effective sewer
design results from serving the maximum number of possible
sewer connections with the least length of sewer
-- construction.
A major objective of this sewer feasibility study and
report is to design a conceptual arterial sewer system which
-9-
will form the core of a permanent utility system as opposed
to some interim system. The County wishes that any cost of
capital construction will represent a true investment in its
overall utility program. Therefore, the conceptual
engineering design will provide a core system which can be
easily expanded as demand dictates and sized for the
a
estimated ultimate buildout of the service area.
As indicated previously in thie report, the objective of
preventing environmental pollution is extremely important.
There are sixteen (16) existing package wastewater treatment
plants located in the study area. All of the package plants
will be eliminated with the proposed project, with the
exception of the River's Edge plant. These package plant
locations are shown on Exhibits #1 through #5 included in the
Appendix of this report, and the specifics of each plant are
listed below:

In order to protect the environment, any Bawer project
should strive to eliminate as many of these sixteen (16)
package treatment plants as possible. In addition,• the
objective of eliminating environmental pollution would
dictate that public sewer serve the areas along Riverside
Avenue in order to eliminate septic sewage from ultimately
discharging into the Indian River.
Finally, in line with the objective that a proposed
wastewater collection system be designed as inexpensively as
possible with respect to its construction, the conceptual'
-- design of the system will minimize crossings of the FEC
Railroad and U.S. Highway #1. The conceptual engineering
design will reflect an attempt to balance the minimum number
of pumping stations and force mains to serve the maximum
amount of service area.
Study Area
We have prepared five (5) - 24" x 36" sheets entitled
"Exhibits" which are contained in the Appendix of this
-11-
report. These Exhibits use as a basis, aerial photographs
taken late in 1985 at a scale of approximately 1" = 400'.
All sheets can be fitted together to show the Study Area
including a portion of the City of Sebastian. The Exhibits
show the approximate location of each parcel number which has
requested sewer service and has provided Indian River County
with a letter of intent up to August 15 1986. Also shown is
the location of existing package wastewater treatment plants,
and the proposed conceptual wastewater collection and
conveyance systems. In order to determine the possible
extent of the proposed conceptual gravity collection system
with reasonable accuracy, spot elevations, based on U.S.C. &
G. Datum, were determined by a surveyor throughout the study
area.
Proposed Sewage Collection/Conveyance and Treatment
Facilities
The Phase I service area, along with the proposed sewage
collection and conveyance facilities, are shown on the five
(5) Exhibits contained in the Appendix of this report. The
proposed facilities have been engineered and laid out to
address the objectives and needs stated in the previous
sections of this report.
-12-
The Phase I service area is shown on the Exhibits. The
service area covers approximately 2175 acres. If the total
ERUs for the package plants (less River's Edge) are added to
the total ERUs in the service area shown in "Schedule 'B,"
the result is 4983 ERUa. Therefore, the Phase I service area
contains a total of 4983 ERUs or 87% of the total ERUs which
have expressed intent to connect to the proposed North County
Subregional Sewer System as of August 15, 1986. The remaining
746 ERUs are not within the limits of the Phase I service
area primarily due to the fact that they are not close
together and/or large enough to be cost-effective to sewer at
this time.
As can be seen on the Exhibits, the Phase I service area
is bounded on the north by the Sebastian River, on the east
by the Indian River, on the west by the FEC Railroad Tracks
(except for the commercial center city area of the City of
Sebastian), and on the south by the southern limits of the
Pelican Pointe and Village of Lake Dolores developments.
For the most part, the proposed collection and
conveyance system consists of strategically located proposed
pumping stations and a series of force mains which vary in
sire from 6" in diameter to 16" in diameter. Several small
sections of proposed gravity sewer are included in order to
convey sewage from the existing Humana Hospital package plant
-13-
to pumping station #1, to convey sewage from the Roseland
Plaza package plant to pumping station #2, and to make sewer
service available and convey sewage from the portion of the
City of Sebastian west of the FEC tracks to pumping station
#3. A discussion of the proposed project components is
presented as follows:
Pumping Station #1 will serve a sub -area of
approximately 291 acres and be located along Roseland Road.
A section of gravity sewer will extend northward from pumping
station #1 to the Humana Hospital package treatment plant.
The Riverwalk Shopping Center sewage will be directed to
pumping station #1 and both the Humana and Riverwalk package
plants would be phased out. Pumping station #1 would have a
design capacity of approximately 600 gallons per minute, and
discharge via a proposed 10" force main following the route
as shown on the Exhibits. The 10" force main would pass by
the Shady Rest package plant and the Shady Rest sewage would
be pumped into the proposed 10" diameter force main thus
allowing the phase out of the Shady Rest package plant. The
proposed 10" force main would travel south along the west
side of U.S. Highway #1, which would permit properties
between U.S. Highway #1 and the FEC Railroad to abandon their
septic systems by installing small grinder pumps to pump
their sewage .into the proposed 10" force main, and 16" force
-14-
main from St. Sebastian Catholic Church south to the
Whispering Palms Mobile Home Park.
Pump station N2 services a sub -area of approximately 282
acres and would have a design capacity of approximately 600
gallons per minute. A section of gravity sewer would extend
north along Riverside Avenue and west along Roseland Road,
and provide for the connection of the Roseland Plaza sewer
system and the phase out of the Roseland Plaza package plant.
A 10" diameter force main would be construction south along
Riverside Avenue, and sewage from E1 Capitan, Oyster Bay and
the Anchor Laundromat would be pumped into the proposed lo"
diameter force main thus allowing the phase out of these
three package plants. Also, existing septic systems would be
eliminated along Riverside Avenue by installing small grinder
Pumps for discharge into the lo" force main. The 10" force
main and the discharge from pumping station #3 would manifold
into a 12" force main for connection to the 10" and 16" force
main along the west side of U.S. Highway kl.
Pumping station #3 would serve a sub -area of
approximately 363 acres and have an approximate design
capacity of 750 gallons per minute. A section of gravity
sewer would extend westward from pumping station N3, crossing
U.S. Highway N1 and the FEC Railroad tracks, andIterminating
with a manhole in the general vicinity of Main Street and
-15-
Louisiana Avenue. It is anticipated that public and/or
private development will collect and convey the sewage from
the Sebastian City Hall area as well as the Sebastian
Elemantary School and Orange Heights area, to the manhole
provided at the intersection of Main Street and Louisiana
Avenue. The sewage will then be conveyed to pumping station
#3 via the gravity sewer and pumped south in the 16" diameter
force main.
Pumping station #4 serves a sub -area of approximately
102 acres and will have a rated capacity of approximately 220
gallons per minute. It is anticipated that public and/or
private development will provide for the necessary gravity
sewer extensions north and south of pumping station #4 for
ultimate complete sewering of the area. Sewage from pumping
station #4 will be discharged via a 6" force main west into
the 16" diameter force main.
The existing River Run pumping station will be
retrofitted to serve a sub -area of approximately 54 acres and
have a design capacity of approximately 180 gallons per
minute. The River Run pumping station will discharge via a
6" diameter force main south, along the east side of U.S.
Highway #1, and connect to the existing 6" toree main which
serves the Reflections project and presentlycrosses U.S.
Highway #1. The Reflections pumping station will serve a
-16-
sub -area of approximately 50 acres and be retrofitted to meet
a design capacity of approximately 180 gallons per minute.
The sewage from both the River Run pumping station and
Reflections' pumping station will discharge into the 16"
diameter force main along the west side of U.S. Highway Sl.
Thus, the River Run pumping station will allow the phase out
of the existing River Run package plant.
The 16" force main along the west side of U.S. Highway
kl will turn west along the north boundary of the Whispering
Palms Mobile Home Park and permit the Whispering Palms sewage
to be pumped into it, and the phase out of the Whispering
Palm wastewater treatment plant. The 16" force main then
crosses under the FEC Railroad and terminates at the proposed
wastewater treatment plant/effluent disposal site.
The Exhibits show the Pelican Pointe pumping station to
be retrofitted to serve a sub -area of approximately 80 acres
and have a design capacity of approximately 300 gallons per
minute. This will permit the phase out of the Pelican Pointe
package plant. An 8" force main from the Pelican Pointe
pumping station will travel north along the east side of U.S.
Highway N1 to Vickers Road and allow propert4es between U.S.
Highway 01 and the Indian River to connect to it by means of
their own private pumping stations. The 8" force main
crosses U.S. Highway 41 and travels west along Vickers.Road
-17-
and allows the sewage from Whispering Palms "Too" to be
pumped into it and the phase out of the Whispering Palms
"Too" package plant. The 8" force main then crosses the FEC
Railroad tracks where it connects to another 8" force main
from the Village of Lake Dolores pumping station.
The existing Village of Lake Dolores pumping station
will be retrofitted to serve an area of approximately 150
acres and have a design capacity of approximately 350 gallons
per minute. The existing Village of Lake Dolores package
plant will be phased out and the Village of Lake Dolores
pumping station will discharge via an 8" force main north
along the west side of the FEC Railroad which will permit the
Breezy Village sewage to be pumped into the 8" diameter force
main and the phase out of the Breezy Village package plant.
The 8" force main will then join with the 8" force main on
Vickers Road and travel west in Vickers Road as a 12"•
diameter force main turning north and into the proposed
wastewater treatment plant/effluent disposal site. The
-- sewage from the New Horizons Mobile Home Park will be pumped
into the 12" force main and the New Horizons L ckage plant
phased out.
The proposed wastewater treatment plant for Phase I will
have a design capacity of 1,000,000 gallons per day and be
designed as a secondary treatment plant. Indian River County
is presently evaluating the site as shown on the Exhibits.
Appraisal reports are being prepared and an engineering study
will be underway shortly to determine the effluent disposal
capacity of the proposed site and the actual amount of land
needed by the County to provide for the ultimate anticipated
subregional capacity which may be required. For purposes of
_. this study and report, we are assuming that effluent disposal
will be by some means of rapid infiltration and that only
--- secondary treatment will be reqired. We are, therefore,
estimating that the first 1 MGD treatment plant and effluent
disposal facility will require approximately 20 acres of
land. However, we are anticipating the need for a total of
80 acres for the ultimate total plant capacity since this is
the same area acquired by the County for the "West
Subregional Plant."

As indicated previously in this report under the
tabulation of ERUs, the Phase I service area contains 4983
ERUs. Based on the assumption that each one of these ERUs
results in the payment of a 91,250.00 impact fee to the
-20-
County, the total revenues obtained for this project would be
86,228,750.00. This would result in an excess of revenues
over expenses of approximately 81,063,990.00. Therefore, it
appears that this project is very strong financially since
there is a very comfortable margin of anticipated revenues
over the total estimated project cost.
a
Summary and Recommendations
This feasibility study and report for the North County
Subregional Area of Indian River County has evaluated the
possibility of constructing a public sanitary sewer system to
be financed on the basis of proposed user financing and
voluntary connection. Indian River County has a proven track
record of constructing several recent water and sewer utility
projects in this manner. eeqI
The need for public sewers in the study a4d service area
is stated in terms of environmental considerations and
planned growth for specific areas of the North County and the
City of Sebastian. Any proposed sewer system must be
designed and constructed in a manner to satisfy these needs
in addition to being cost-effective, environmentally sound,
easily expanded and acceptable to permitting agencies. The
_ proposed sewer project should also serve to eliminate all
-21-
possible existing package wastewater treatment plants and
septic systems located within the service area.
A thorough and comprehensive evaluation of the study and
service area has been made using elevations obtained from
field surveys for this project and recently prepared aerial
photographs of the study and service area. Exhibits have
been prepared and are contained in the appendix of this
report which show the results of our engineering evaluation
and recommended sewer facilities. The proposed Phase I
service area contains approximately 2175 acres and 4983 ERUs
which represent over 85% of all property owners who submitted
lrttters of intent to Indian River County to connect to the
proposed sewer system as of August 15, 1986. The proposed
sewage collection conveyance and treatment system will
generally consist of seven pumping stations, force mains
sized from 6" to 16" in diameter, several short sections of
gravity collection sewer, and a 1.0 MGD secondary wastewater
treatment plant with effluent disposal by means of rapid
infiltration. The total estimated project cost for the
proposed project is $5,164,760.00 which includes 80 acres of
land for the initial 1.0 MGD treatment plant and effluent
disposal system and future plant expansion. The anticipated
revenues from the 4983 ERUs exceed the total estimated
project cost by 91,063,990.00 and it is, therefore, concluded
-22-
that the project is viable from a financial point of view.
It is our recommendation that Indian River County and
the City of Sebastian governing bodies review this "North
County Subregional Sewer Feasibility Study and Report." A
public meeting has been scheduled for 7:00 pm on September
25, 1986 in the City of Sebastian, in order to make the
contents of this report known to the public and obtain the
public's input.
This study and report has found that it in viable from
an engineering and financial point of view for Indian River
County to provide for the construction of an arterial "core"
sanitary sewer system with treatment and efflyent disposal
facilities to serve the North County Subregi99onal service
area. It is recommended that Indian River County proceed
with engineering design and construction of this much .needed
sanitary sewer project to serve the North County area, as
soon as possible.
