SECTION 1
BACKGROUND AND CHAPTER 180.301 REQUIREMENTS
System Background
ON The City of Sebastian, the second largest municipality in Indian River County, Florida, is
located in the northern area of the mainland, along the Indian River. The most significant land
use feature of Sebastian is the large number of vacant platted residential lots. It is for this
reason that Sebastian is expected to become the most populous municipality in the County
during the next 15 years. This suburban land pattern dominates the southern and western
limits of the City. The second most dominant land use is the municipal airport, which is
located in the northwest portion of the City.
The land use east of the airport consists primarily of undeveloped land that is zoned industrial.
., Commercial uses are concentrated along the U.S. Highway 1 corridor in the northern portion
of the City. The eastern boundary of Sebastian is an irregular shape bordering the western
shoreline of the Indian River. Land use consists primarily of residential uses outside the
commercial uses that are present along the U.S. Highway 1 corridor or along the Indian River
., from the north to south City limits.
A report was subsequently prepared that rejected the initial offer of Sebastian Lakes to the
City. Further negotiations have been held between the City and the representatives of the
Sebastian Lakes Utility regarding this acquisition which has resulted in the City deciding to
purchase the Sebastian Lakes Utility pursuant to the requirements of the Water and Wastewater
Service and Contribution Agreement provided in Appendix A. General Development Utilities,
Inc. (GDU) provided bulk water service to the Sebastian Lakes development. On March 24,
1993, the City received a proposal from Sebastian Lakes Utility regarding the purchase of this
.. utility. On December 17, 1993, the City of Sebastian acquired the GDU water and wastewater
facilities. As a result, the City of Sebastian now provides bulk water service to the Sebastian
.. Lakes development. Wastewater service to this development is provided by the utility.
The Sebastian Lakes wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a 60,000 gallon per day (gpd)
00 extended aeration activated sludge facility with effluent disposal to two (2) percolation ponds.
The WWTP is presently operated under an Florida Department of Environmental Protection
04
HES/ch/dn/R-8/Brief. Se 1 1-1
�• HAI #92-023.08
(FDEP) Operating Permit No. DO31-156174 that expires on December 15, 1994. The total
area on which the WWTP and the percolation ponds are located on consists of approximately 3
acres.
Wastewater collected from the Sebastian Lakes development is pumped to the WWTP from an
on-site lift station, which consists of two (2) submersible pumps of unknown capacity. The
wastewater enters the WWTP and flows through a steel splitter box that is located atop the
surge tank. The splitter box consists of a manually cleaned bar rack and an overflow weir
which diverts the flow to the surge tank. The surge tank is a precast concrete type structure
with a capacity of approximately 12,000 gallons. The surge tank is aerated with a coarse
bubble aeration system and is also equipped with two (2) submersible pumps to convey the
wastewater to the first aeration basin.
The screened wastewater enters the first aeration basin where the treatment process begins.
There are five (5) aeration basins that a hydraulically connected and are constructed of precast
concrete. Each of the aeration basins are of equal size and dimensions. Each aeration basin
has a capacity of approximately 12,000 gallons each. Air is provided to each of the aeration
basins via a 3 -inch galvanized steel air header pipe. Each aeration basin had one (1) drop pipe
from the main header pipe equipped with a coarse bubble air diffuser. The aeration system is
presently operated on a timer which turns the aeration blowers on for 15 -minute intervals twice
per hour.
From the aeration basins the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) flows by gravity to one
(1) of the two (2) clarifiers. The clarifiers are of identical size and capacity as the aeration
basins and surge tank. Each clarifier is equipped with an overflow scum pipe and an effluent
weir located at the center of each unit. In addition, each clarifier is equipped with an air lift
system that can either waste the sludge to the aerobic digesters or return it to the aeration
basins to maintain a proper solids balance in the aeration basins. The clarified effluent from
the clarifiers flows by gravity to one (1) of the two (2) gravity sand filters.
Each of the gravity filters are 4 -feet in diameter, with a surface area of 12.6 square feet (sf).
However, presently the gravity filters are not in operation, and appeared to have not been used
recently.
HES/ch/dn/R-8/Brief. Sel 1-2
HAI #92-023.08
The effluent that is presently bypassing the gravity filters flows by gravity to the chlorine
basin. The chlorine contact basin is constructed of precast concrete and is of unknown
capacity. Chlorine is added as the chlorine contact basin using two (2) gas chlorinators, each
with a capacity of 40 pounds per day (lbs./day). The chlorine is supplied by two (2) 150
pound cylinders. During our inspection of the chlorination facilities it was unknown whether
or not that the chlorine room was equipped with an exhaust fan, chlorine leak detector and or a
chlorine alarm, since access could not be provided at the time of our inspection.
The chlorinated effluent flows by gravity to one of the two (2) percolation ponds. The ponds
are presently overgrown with cattails and had standing water in them. The percolation ponds
have a permitted capacity of 120,000 gpd or 60,000 gpd each. However, these facilities have
never been load tested, and therefore, the actual capacity of these ponds are most likely
significantly less than the permitted capacity, since standing water was observed in both ponds
during the dry season.
The sludge that is wasted from the WWTP is stabilized in two (2) aerobic digesters. Each
digester is of similar size and capacity as the aeration basins. Air is supplied to each aerobic
digester via a single drop pipe in each basin that comes off a manifolded air header. Coarse
bubble diffusers provide the air and mixing requirements to each digester.
All process piping for the facility was aboveground and was laid on top of the process tanks.
The process piping consisted of:
1. Schedule 80 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe for the raw wastewater, return and
waste sludge lines, sludge air-lifts, effluent and chlorine feed.
2. Galvanized steel pipe for the air headers.
�. As previously mentioned the Sebastian Lakes WWTP presently operated under FDEP Permit
DO31-15674 which expires on December 15, 1994. During the period between April 1992
and November 1993, the influent wastewater floe averaged approximately 6,900 gpd, and
ranged from 5,000 gpd to 10,000 gpd. During this 20 -month period the influent flows have
_ remained fairly constant. Summarized in Table 1 is the average daily flow data for this
facility.

The effluent from the Sebastian Lakes WWTP must meet the requirements set forth in Chapter
17-610, Reuse of Reclaimed Water and Land Application, of the Florida Administrative Code
(FAC). The effluent from the WWTP must meet secondary treatment levels (BOD: 20 mg/1
and TSS: 20 mg/1) or 90 percent removal, whichever is more stringent. In addition, the
WWTP must meet basic disinfection and a nitrate -nitrogen concentration of 12 mg/1 as
nitrogen. Based on the data reviewed the Sebastian Lakes WWTP meet these standards. The
WWTP has also had no problem meeting the basic disinfection requirements. No data was
provided in the FDEP monthly operating reports (MOR's) which indicated the effluent nitrate -
nitrogen concentration in the WWTP effluent.

SECTION 4
STATEMENT OF THE EXISTING RATE BASE
Generally speaking, the rate base of a utility company represents the depreciated cost to
.. the utility company of the plant and facilities financed by the owners of the utility
which is used to provide service to the public. Specifically, rate base of a utility
includes gross plant in service, less depreciation and net contributed capital and/or
*` plant, an allowance for working capital, materials, supplies and inventory, and certain
other financial considerations. In determining the existing rate base, net plant which is
in service, but not used or useful, or plant which is held for future use is generally
subtracted from the total plant in order to arrive at the level of rate base required to
provide service to the existing customer base. The most recent level of rate base as
provided by the Sebastian Lakes Utility Company as of December 31, 1989, is shown
on Tables 4-1 and 4-2 for the water and wastewater system, respectively.

SECTION 5
PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE FACILITIES
180.301 (4) The physical condition of the utility facilities being purchased or sold.
As indicated in Section 1 of this Briefing Document, the wastewater facilities consist of the
following:
The wastewater system consists of a 0.06 MGD extended aeration activated sludge wastewater
facility provided with screening, aeration, secondary clarification, filtration and chlorine
disinfection. The WWTP is has a permitted capacity of 0.120 MGD on an annual average
_ basis. The sludge generated at this facility is treated utilizing an aerobic digestion process.
Liquid sludge is then hauled from the site by a private sludge hauling contractor and disposed
of on permitted agricultural sites. The effluent disposal facilities consist of two (2) percolation
ponds with a disposal capacity of 0.120 MGD.
— The wastewater collection and transmission system, the treatment plant and effluent disposal
facilities are in below average to average condition. The primary risks associated with this
facility are the unknown capacity of the effluent disposal facilities, permitting and the sludge
treatment facilities meeting the necessary state and federal regulations.

SECTION 6
REASONABLENESS OF SALES PRICE AND TERMS
180.301(5) The reasonableness of the purchase or sales price and terms.
The City of Sebastian negotiated with Sebastian Lakes Utility Company (SLUC) for the
purchase of the Sebastian Lakes WWTP. The SLUC is interested in terminating its franchise
with the City, and arranging for the provision of utility services to Sebastian Lakes by the
City. The City will, upon the termination of the franchise become the exclusive provider of
water and wastewater services in Sebastian Lakes. The City is proposing to provide
wastewater services to Sebastian Lakes by owning, operating and maintaining the on-site
wastewater collection and transmissions system and by connecting the on-site WWTP to the
City's wastewater treatment and effluent disposal facilities by the construction of a new
wastewater pipeline. The construction of the new pipeline is expected to be completed with 2 -
years. During this 2 -year period the City will provide wastewater treatment and disposal
services to Sebastian Lakes by leasing from SLUC, and operating and maintaining the existing
Sebastian Lakes wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
The SLUC currently provides water service to the Sebastian Lakes development through an
Agreement with GDU. On December 17, 1993, the City purchased GDU and therefore
_ became the provider of potable water to SLUC. The water distribution system within
Sebastian Lakes will be conveyed to the City at the same time that it conveys the on-site
wastewater facilities.
As previously mentioned the City will provide wastewater service to the Sebastian Lakes
.. development by leasing and operating the Sebastian Lakes WWTP for a 2 -year period. During
this 2 -year period the City is required to construct a wastewater transmission system between
the Sebastian Lakes development and the City's WWTP. If the City fails to commence
construction of the wastewater transmission system within 18 -months of the date of the
Agreement between the City and SLUC the City will then be required to construct a lift station
and connect the Sebastian Lakes wastewater system to the Indian River County force main
located on State Road 512.
HES/ch/dn/R-8/Brief.Se6 6-1
.. HAI /192-023.08
SLUC shall make the following payments to the City:
1. $178,000 if the Sebastian Lakes wastewater system is connected to the County's
system. This money shall be used by the City to pay the County the connection
charges to connect the 64 residential units, the recreation center and the County
Library. If the Sebastian Lakes wastewater system is connected to the City's
^
wastewater system, this payment will be allocated as follows:
a. $115,000 for connection charges to the City wastewater system
^ for existing users.
b. $31,250 for contributions in aid of construction for the
., wastewater line.
C. $31,250 credit toward future connection charges to the City's
wastewater system.
2. $20,000 to the City to construct a pump station to connect the Sebastian Lakes
wastewater system to the City or County wastewater system.
These funds shall be paid to the City within 90 -days of the Agreement and held in escrow by
the City Attorney. Upon payment of the above funds to the City, SLUC shall have no further
obligation for the connection of the Sebastian Lakes wastewater system to either the City's or
., County's wastewater system or for the provision of providing wastewater utility service to the
existing customers.
^
As indicated earlier the City will lease the Sebastian Lakes wastewater treatment and disposal
facilities from SLUC commencing 90 -days from the date of the Agreement and terminating 2 -
years from the commencement date. The City shall pay SLUC the sum of $1.00 per year for
the lease of the Sebastian Lakes WWTP. In addition, SLUC granted to the City an option to
purchase the Sebastian Lakes wastewater system, exclusive of any real property and exclusive
of the percolation ponds for $1.00. Based on the documents reviewed and summarized herein
the purchase price terms of the Agreement appear to be reasonable.

SECTION 7
IMPACTS OF SALE
.,
180,30](6) The impacts o the purchase on utility customers. both positive and negative.
r�
There are numerous positive impacts on the utility customers resulting from the purchase by
the City of the Sebastian Lakes water and wastewater system assets and are summarized as
follows:
1) In accordance, growth management and master planning efforts can address and
correct system deficiencies in an effective and economical manner. As a result,
the water and wastewater services provided to the customers can significantly
improve.
2) Regulatory decisions concerning the wastewater facilities will be made by local
representatives of the customers, who will be more aware of local requirements
and will be sensitive to the needs of the customers.
3) Public sewer system ownership most likely would ensure better system
., management. SLUC is a business operating for profit. Because they are
operating for profit some maintenance and facilities could suffer. This "bottom-
line" management policy has resulted in a poor maintenance program. As a
result, facilities are typically not fixed until they are broken. When repairs are
made they are in the least expensive manner and at minimum standards. Under
City ownership, such maintenance and management policies will not be
continued. The City is limited in how far it can govern how a private utility is
operated and maintained. If acquired, however, all standards can be upheld by
the City, ensuring better service to the community.
4) Management policies would be more beneficial to the community under City
ownership. If the City acquires the Sebastian Lakes water and wastewater
system, improvements can be made tax free and the need for profit in rate
collection eliminated. It is proposed that the City operates the utility as a "user
HES/ch/dn/R-8/Brief. Se7
"' HAI #92-023.08 7-1
pays" enterprise fund, so that no general tax monies are used for its purchase or
operation. Existing users will be required to share the financial burden of
existing needed improvements, and future users will pay for needed system
expansion through connection fees.
5) The operation of the Sebastian Lakes water and wastewater system and the
subsequent expansion of operations will be under the control of the City, and
not subject to conflicting land development interests.
6) Substantial financial advantages will be available because of City -owned utility
system is not subject to federal and state income taxes, or gross receipt taxes as
e privately owned utility systems.
7) Future capital improvements required for the continued efficient operation of
the Sebastian water and wastewater system can be more economically financed
by the City than by a private company through the use of municipal tax-free
financing.
8) The City will be able to better control and correct negative environmental
impacts and provide surface, groundwater and other environmental protection
which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the
City of Sebastian.
The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following:
1) As owners of the system, the City would also assume a responsibility for
operations and maintenance, which typically involves problems and complaints.
The City would also assume the liabilities involved in ownership and
responsibility for rates and charges.
2) Future regulatory requirements and more stringent changes can ultimately result
in unforeseen costly future capital investments.
HES/ch/dn/R-8/Brief. Se7
HAI #92-023.08 7-2
3) Lack of expertise in utility management, which can be remedied in large part by
the hiring of the present operational staff.
The positive and negative impacts of the acquisition of the Sebastian Lakes water and
wastewater facilities are summarized in Table 7-1.

SECTION 8
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT REQUIRED
180.301(7) Any additional investment required and the ability and willingness of the City to
make that investment.
It is currently anticipated that in order for the water and wastewater treatment facilities and
their related distribution, collection, transmission and disposal facilities and regulatory
requirements, additional investments will be required during the next two (2) years following
acquisition. This investment will include:
1) Expenditures to the existing system in order for the assets to reach the useful or
expectant service life.
2) Expenditures for capital expansion in order to meet system growth and satisfy
the goals of the City.
3) Expenditures for regulatory requirements, environmental concerns, and good
operating and management practices.
Those identified capital investments regarding the Sebastian Lakes water and wastewater
system that should be completed during the first two (2) years include the following:
1. In accordance with Water and Wastewater Service and Contribution Agreement,
the City of Sebastian must within a 2 -year period construct the necessary
facilities to convey the wastewater generated within the Sebastian Lakes
development and the County Library to the City's WWTP. If the City fails to
construct the wastewater conveyance facilities on or before the termination date
of the Agreement then the City will be required to construct a lift station and
r connect the Sebastian Lakes facilities to the County's force main located on
State Road 512. The total estimated capital costs to design, permit and
T construct the lift station, force main and necessary appurtenances is $308,000.

SECTION 9
ALTERNATIVES TO THE SALE
180.301(8) The alternatives to the purchase or sale and the potential impact on utility
customers if the purchase or sale is not made
There are several alternatives to the sale of the Sebastian Lakes water distribution and
wastewater collection, treatment and effluent disposal facilities to the City of Sebastian. These
include:
1. No sale.
2. Sale to an investor.
3. Sale to a non-profit entity.
If the City does not acquire the Sebastian Lakes water distribution and wastewater collection,
treatment and effluent disposal facilities, SLUC can either continue to operate the facilities, or
sell to another party. Based on the regulatory issues facing SLUC's wastewater treatment
effluent disposal facilities, and the need to meet these requirements, it is unlikely that SLUC
will continue to operate the system.
The "no sale" option results in the following:
1. Higher monthly bills to the average SLUC customer due to plant and effluent
disposal upgrading to meet the state and federal regulations.
2. Limited services.
3. Continuation of existing management and operations practices.
4. Limited control over proper growth management and system development.
5. Limited control over environmental concerns and issues.
The "Sale to an investor" option results in the following:
HES/ch/R8/Brief.Se9 9-1
HAI #92-023.08
To the best of our knowledge, no outside investor has offered to buy the SLUC system in a
fashion that would elicit a sale. Due to the fact that the SLUC wastewater system does not
meet the current sludge regulations for treatment and disposal, and the fact that the effluent
disposal capacity is suspect, a sale to an investor would merit a plant and effluent disposal
upgrade that would merit the sale not to be economically feasible.
The "Sale to a non-profit entity" option is not viable, due to the fact that no non-profit entity
has offered to buy the system.
