Program Administrator Water Facilities Florida Department of Environmental Protection 3319 Maguire Blvd. Suite 232 Orlando, FL 32803-3767 RE: Indian Riv6r County - PW PWS Name: Park Place '[ PWS ID Number: 331-7X36 T/r/ Dear Mr. De Aguilar: The City of Sebastian's Utilities Department's response to the Department's sanitary survey letter/ compliance inspection report of September 1, 1994 is enclosed. All items with the exception of Item 6 in reference to auxiliary power are addressed on the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's form. Item 6 is addressed as follows: In my letter of April 8, 1994, I had stated that the engineering firm of Hartman & Associates, Inc. was designing the inter -connection between the Park Place water distribution system and Sebastian Highlands system, and that completion of the design was expected to be April 15, 1994. Construction was expected to be completed approximately three (3) months after the permit was granted by your Department. Following the completion of construction, the Park Place water treatment plant would be taken out of service. In actuality, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection issued Permit No. WD31-254412 on August 11, 1994 for the inter- connection (see attached copy). Specifications, bid and contract documents were completed in September and reviewed by our City Attorney in October. The only item remaining is the recordation of Letter to Mr. De Aguilar October 31, 1994 Page 2 of 3 an easement in Park Place to facilitate the final connection of the water main east of the existing plant. However, as of October 21, 1994, the City Manager has instructed me to refrain from expending any money other than for routine operational expenses pending the sale of the City's Utilities System to Indian River County. A copy of the memo is enclosed. The Indian River County Commissioners are supposed to meet on November 1, 1994 to discuss the County takeover of the system. The Sebastian Highlands and Park Place/Palm Lake Club systems may be under control of Indian River County as early as January 1, 1995. If the County takes over the City's Utilities system, it no doubt will also eliminate the Park Place water treatment plant. Currently, Speegle Construction Company is installing a 16" water main north on U.S. Highway 1 from Wabasso to Sebastian for the Indian River County Utilities Department. This main should be completed during the early part of 1995. Should Indian River County elect to purchase the Sebastian Utilities system, it can provide water immediately to the Park Place system through an existing connection with the Pelican Point water system on the east side of U.S. Highway 1. (Refer to the attached March 4, 1993 Memo Regarding R.B. Votapka's meeting with H. Asher, Assistant Indian River County Utilities Director.) Under the circumstances, I am requesting that the Department of Environmental Protection refrain from requiring a stationary emergency electrical generator for the Park Place plant. It is only a question of time as to when the Park Place system will be connected to either Indian River County's new water main or to the City's Sebastian Highlands system depending upon the decision of the County Commissioners to purchase the Sebastian system. In the interim, the City can still utilize a portable emergency generator from Aggreko, Inc. if a major power outage occurs at the water plant. Fortunately, the last time a major outage occurred was in December, 1989, when a major cold front swept across Florida, dropping temperatures from in the 80's to the upper 20's in a single day. I have been assured by Mr. Dave Smith, Customer Account Manager of Florida Power and Light Company, that his firm is much better able to prepare for such temperature extremes now and a major power outage such as the 1989 outage should not reoccur in the future. Therefore, the need for an emergency generator at the Park Place water treatment plant with respect to power outages seems remote. Letter to Mr. De Aguilar October 31, 1994 Page 3 of 3 I would appreciate your patience and co-operation in this matter, as circumstances are somewhat beyond my control at this point.

The list of doasrents requested and those transmitted by the Indian River County Utilities Dept. are attached to this memo. I asked Harry about the February 15, 1993 letter from Joseph McNamara of DER to the County in reference to Park Place. The DER has requested that I. R. County install a stationary generator for the Park Place Water Treatment Plant. Harry told me that the County is not going to install a generator at the plant since the Park Place Water system will be turned over to the City of Sebastian. Harry said he would send me additional letters as referenced in the DER letter. in talking with Harry, he mentioned that the Park Place system was connected to the Pelican Point Plant on the east side of U. S. 1. The DER wants Indian River County to install a stationary generator at that plant. Harry said that the County would probably have to amply with the mandate. I asked Harry if the Park Place and Pelican Point systems were connected, could not the County provide water to Park Place on an emergency basis? Harry said that the County could. All that had to be done is to open a normally closed gate valve on the shared main. This should eliminate the need for a stationary emergency generator. Harry said that the County has a shared main with a closed 'valve at the north end of Indian River Shores. The County awned North Beach water system can receive or provide water to the Vero Beach System through this common main should an emergency condition arise. Harry said that there is no written agreement between the City and County and didn't think one was necessary. Harry told me that since the City will take over Park Place on May lst, the City of Sebastian will be responsible for collecting impact fees for Park Place.

Votapka, P.E. Utilities Director Indian River County - PW Park Place/City of Sebastian PWS ID Number 3314181 Dear Mr. Votapka: The Department is processing for issue a permit for the water mains in Park Place Mobile Home Park, Phases 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B after accepting your assessments with regard to the need for providing an auxiliary power source as presented in Item 1 of your letter dated April 8, 1994. This acceptance is qualified as follows: By October 31, 1994 either one of the two options should have been implemented. The interconnection with Sebastian Highlands water system is already activated, the Sebastian Highlands system is proven to have sufficient available capacity to meet the demand created by adding the Park Place load and the auxiliary power source at Sebastian Highlands is capable of running sufficient equipment to provide for half of the maximum day combined demand. The other option is to keep the Park Place system operational and install a stationary auxiliary power generator with an automatic startup capability. In the interim, we accept the portable generator proposal you submitted with an emphasis on minimizing the inconvenience and health risks that may occur during a power failure. In case of such occurrences, the Department should be advised on the spot so coordination to protect the public health could be achieved. Sincerely, �Joeeph'M.

The Department highly recommends that the water treatment plant at Sebastian Highlands be run for two shifts (16 hours) per day instead of one shift (8-10 hours). Running two shifts will help to eliminate the overloading in the precipitator, decrease the floc carryover, and increase the stability of the sludge blanket. This will, in turn, reduce the disproportionate use of the filters. Adding a second shift will, of course, require more certified operators. In the wake of the events that occurred at Park Place at the time of our inspection, an increased number of certified operators would reduce the strain on the current staff.

Currently, both systems are independent of each other being served by their own plant. There will be no change in the sampling points for Park Place and Palm Lake Club. A sample is taken each month on the north side of the system at the Palm Lake Club Clubhouse and on the south side of the system at the Park Place Clubhouse. Sampling at both locations will continue unless your office otherwise directs our Department to take samples elsewhere. In the Sebastian Highlands system, eight (8) bacteriological samples are being taken each month. As per our discussion, timing of the samples is not a factor and the frequency can remain at once per month since only four (4) samples are required fo.r:t_he present population on the system. I have enclosed a map of the present Sebastian Highlands water distribution system dated October 21, 1994 showing the eight (8) sample points presently used. There are five (5) critical sample points which are located at the extremities of the system. These are to be sampled once per month in lieu of being rotated. These sample points are as follows, Letter to Mr. Jerry Greer October 21, 1994 Page 2 of 2 1) Lot 1, Block 437, Unit 17 2) Lot 1, Block 568, Unit 17 5) Lot 9, Block 412, Unit 9 7) Lot 5, Block 485, Unit 15 Drive 8) Lot 1, Block 186, Unit 10 South End of Filbert Street East End of Arcadia Drive East End of Concord Avenue North End of So.

Copy of October 26, 1994 Press Journal article entitled "Sebastian Offers Utilities to County". 7. Copy of the City of Sebastian Cross -Connection Control Program. The recommendation that there be two shifts at the Sebastian Highlands water plant to eliminate overloading of the precipitator is well taken. In fact, our Department recently hired a new individual on October 17, 1994 to make shifts a possibility. However, the City has offered the entire utility system to Indian River County for purchase. The purchase may materialize next week. If so, Indian River county will probably take over the City's system by the end of the year, connect the system to the County's system, and deactivate the water plant as soon as possible.

Currently, both systems are independent of each other being served by their own plant. There will be no change in the sampling points for Park Place and Palm Lake Club. A sample is taken each month on the north side of the system at the Palm Lake Club Clubhouse and on the south side of the system at the Park Place Clubhouse. Sampling at both locations will continue unless your office otherwise directs our Department to take samples elsewhere. In the Sebastian Highlands system, eight (8) bacteriological samples are being taken each month. As per our discussion, timing of the samples is not a factor and the frequency can remain at once per month since only four (4) samples are required for.the present population on the system. I have enclosed a map of the present Sebastian Highlands water distribution system dated October 21, 1994 showing the eight (8) sample points presently used. There are five (5) critical sample points which are located at the, extremities of the system. These are to be sampled once per month in lieu of being rotated. These sample points are as follows: Letter to Mr. Jerry Greer October 21, 1994 Page 2 of 2 1) Lot 1, Block 437, Unit 17 2) Lot 1, Block 568, Unit 17 5) Lot 9, Block 412, Unit 9 7) Lot 5, Block 485, Unit 15 Drive 8) Lot 1, Block 186, Unit 10 South End of Filbert Street East End of Arcadia Drive East End of Concord Avenue North End of So.

By LEIGH GLENN PressJournal Staff Writer It's been a few years since Sebastian officials decided to leave Indian River County's water and sewer behind and play the stakes In the utilities busi- ness. But now, they want to know If Indian River County would be interested in taking over the city's utilities — again. Sebastian City Council members told City Manager Joel Koford In July to propose the Idea to the county. County Administrator James Chan- dler got a letter from Koford Monday. The main reasonfor the request is the lack of funds for upgrading Sebas- ,tian's water and sewer system, Koford said. The city bought the system in December 1993. It was not acquired properly, he said. "We paid too much money for that system," Koford said. The city used a $5 million bond to buy the utility from General Devel- opment Utilities. Of that money, $3.5 million was set aside for the GDU sys- tem. But the bond documents stipulate the remaining $1.5 million may not be used for expansion. Koford hasn't considered a definite price yet, but would like to get back the $5 million the city spent on the bond Issue. Chandler said the proposal will be on Tuesday's County Commission agenda. The county would not have a prob- lem considering the proposal, he said. County staff will have to look at the feasibility of taking over the city's utility system and that will involve de- termining the city's commitments to GDU, how much debt is Involved and whether there is any liability. "Is their system being subsidized? If so, how much?" Chandler said. "What kind of expense, if any, would Indian River County utilities customers be looking at?" County Utilities Director Terry Pinto was not surprised by the pro- posal, but said they will "proceed cau- tiously to see what action the commissioners wish to pursue and what's best for the county as a whole." The county would look at the effect on existing utilities customers, he said.

Now, the "antiquated" system needs to be upgraded to keep up with changing federal laws, Ko - .05 74 01 .05 .02 .53 •01 .23 ford said. Also, either additional land must be acquired for sludge drying beds or a different method for treating effluent must be found and all that could be costly. "Every time you turn around something Is breaking down," Ko - ford said. "It's cheaper for the city to join the county if they're willing to take it," Koford said. School From Page I Livaudais was referring to and member Gary Lindsey's mments that people making Ise accusations about the ard's actions confused the pub - Dearing told Livaudais that It was his suggestion to change the agenda' two weeks ago after the Oct. 11 board meeting. He said three of the four issues raised by citizens were about day-to-day op- erations of the district. Rather than offer the citizens an answer in two weeks, Dearing said he wanted to hold workshops with staff on hand to answer questions Citizen Harold Putnam said he twasn't In favor of barring televi- asion from any public function. "I would encourage the board ,land the new superintendent not to Abe afraid of television," he said. Donald Smith said Dearing's )`decision was a reversal of the :."'community partnership" logo on ;the board room wall. He said o,there were many ylderly people i who couldn't attend the meetings but who deserved to see more • Fl�ririn A ntt�ry than the board's side of the meet- why, when the Vero Beach City ing. Council and County Commission Bill Koolage said the absence of the cameras kept the home au- diece from missing the meat of the meeting. "I notice these cameras are off and the essence of this meeting tonight is what is going on right now," he said. Kathaleen Inman, a Demo- cratic candidate for the board, pointed specifically to a comment made by opponent Lindsey about people making political speeches at the meetings. "If board members can't deal with political situations, they shouldn't be on the board," she said. She said people rely on the me- dia to keep informed and the ca- blecast required citizen input for balance. Bob Walsh asked the board Won t censor their meetings, the School Board felt the need to do so. "You're not representing us. You're raping us of the right to be heard," he said. Ken Miller said televising citi- zens' comments puts the board on the hot seat. "And that's where you belong. You're elected offi- cials," he said. "It kind of feels hot right now, Ken," Dearing responded.

Votapka, Utilities Director October 26, 1994 F I CITY OF SEBASTIAN CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL AND BACKFLOW PREVENTION PROGRAM In compliance with Section 17-555.360 of the Florida Administrative Code, the, City of Sebastian Utilities Department developed a Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Program. Through the enactment of the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act, the rules of the Department of Environmental Protection were changed to include the following policy regarding a cross -connection control program. Section 17-555.360 (2) and (3) of the Florida Administrative Code reads as follows: "Community water systems, and all public water systems which have service areas that are also served by reclaimed water systems as defined in Chapter 17-610, Part III, F.A.C., shall establish a routine cross -connection control program to detect and prevent cross -connections that create or may create an imminent and substantial danger to public health. This program shall include a written plan that is developed using accepted practices of the American Water Works Association as set forth in the reference documents cited in Rules 17-555.330(6) and (7), F.A.C. Upon discovery of a prohibited cross -connection, public water systems shall either eliminate the cross -connection by installation of an appropriate backflow prevention device acceptable to the Department or shall discontinue service until the contaminant source is eliminated." This statement was later updated to include that "Such program shall be developed utilizing accepted practices of the American Water Works Association guidelines as set forth in AWWA manual m14, "Backflow Prevention and Cross Connection Control" and "Cross Connections and Backflow Prevention," 2nd Edition." A cross connection is defined in the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) rules, of the State of Florida, Chapter 17-550 as "Any physical arrangement whereby a public water supply is connected, directly or indirectly with any other water supply system, sewer, drain, conduit, pool, storage, reservoir, plumbing fixture or device which contains or may contain contaminated water, sewage or other waste, or liquid of unknown or unsafe quality which may be capable of imparting contamination to the public water supply as the result of backflow. By- pass arrangements, jumper connections, removable sections, swivel or changeable devices, and other temporary or permanent devices through which or because of which backflow could occur are considered to be cross connections." Rule 17.555.360 also states "Cross connection, as defined in Rule 17-550.200, F.A.C., is prohibited." Therefore, cross - connections and the chance of backflows must be eliminated to prevent contamination of the City's water supply. The City of Sebastian Utilities Department's responsibility is to educate the public as well as enforce the policies contained in this program. The Department will offer its assistance to help educate and inform those with an interest in protecting the City's drinking water 1 now and for the future. The public is urged to acquaint themselves with the policies and information presented in this program. PART I OVERVIEW 1.01 PURPOSE The purpose of this program is to protect the potable water supply of the City of Sebastian from the possibility of contamination through a cross -connection with a system of unknown or questionable quality. It is also the intent of this program to promote the elimination or control of existing cross -connections, whether actual or potential, between the customers' in -plant plumbing, fixtures or industrial piping and the public water supply. In addition, this program shall provide for a continuing program of cross -connection control to effectively prevent the contamination of the potable water distribution system and monitor the maintenance of the existing backflow prevention devices. It is the intent of this program to prevent water which has passed beyond the public water system and into the consumers' private distribution system from re-entering the public water distribution system. This program is also intended to ensure that those persons responsible for piping design incorporate the installation of appropriate backflow prevention devices on new and existing facilities. 1.02 CAUSES OF BACKFLOW Backflow is often caused by accidents and circumstances beyond the provider's control; therefore, the causes of backflow usually cannot be totally eliminated. However, backflow can be minimized and controlled with good design, and the installation and maintenance of appropriate backflow prevention devices. "Backsiphonage" and "backpressure" are the two major types of backflow. Causes of both are as follows: 1. BACKSIPHONAGE - Backsiphonage is caused by reduced or negative pressure, being created in the supply piping. Typical causes of backsiphonage include but are not limited to the following: 1. Line repair or break which is below the elevation of a service point. This will allow negative pressures to be created by water trying to flow to a lower point in the system. 2. Undersized piping - if water is withdrawn from a pipe at a very high velocity, the pressure in the pipe is reduced; the resulting pressure differential can cause water to flow into the pipe from a contaminated source. 3. Lowered pressure in water main due to high water withdrawal rate such as fire fighting, water main flushing, or water main breaks. 4. Reduced supply main pressure on suction side of a booster pump. B. BACKPRESSURE - Back pressure may cause backflow to occur where a potable water system is connected to a non -potable system of piping, and the pressure in the non -potable system is greater than 2 the pressure in the potable system. Typical causes of backpressures are: 1. Booster pump systems designed without backflow prevention devices. 2. Potable water connections to boilers and other pressure systems without backflow prevention devices. 3. Connections with another system which may, at times, have a higher pressure. 4. Water stored in tanks or plumbing systems which by virtue of their elevation create sufficient head pressure to cause a backflow to the public water system if its system pressure is lower. PART II DEFINITIONS AIR -GAP SEPARATION - The term air -gap separation shall mean the unobstructed vertical distance through the free atmosphere between the lowest opening from any pipe or faucet supplying water to a tank, plumbing fixture, or other device and the flood level rim of said open or nonpressure receiving vessel. An approved air -gap separation shall be a distance of at least two (2) times the diameter of the supply pipe measured vertically above the top rim of the vessel and, in no case, less than a distance of one (1) inch. APPROVED - Accepted by the City of Sebastian Utilities Director as meeting an applicable specification stated or cited in this program, or as suited for the proposed use. AUXILIARY WATER SUPPLY - Any water supply on or available to the premises other than the provider's approved public potable water supply. These auxiliary waters may include, but are not limited to, water from a private non -potable water supply or any natural source(s) such as well, spring, river, stream, harbor, etc., or "used waters" or "industrial fluids". These waters may be contaminated or they may be objectionable, and constitute an unacceptable water source over which the water provider does not have sanitary control. BACKFLOW - The flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances under pressure into the distribution pipes of a potable water supply system from any source or sources other than its intended source. BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE - A device that has been specifically designed to prevent backflow or backsiphonage and has met the required standards of and been approved by one or more of the following: 01 AWWA-C-506 Standard for backflow prevention devices, Reduced Pressure principle and Double Check valve type. USC - FCCC University of Southern California Foundation for Cross -Connection Control and Hydraulic Research. CSUD City of Sebastian Utilities Department The type of device used in any given situation shall be based on the degree of hazard, either existing or potential, as determined by the Department. BACK -SIPHONAGE - The flow of water or other liquid, mixture, or substance into the distributing pipes of a potable water supply system from any source other than its intended source by the sudden loss of pressure in the potable water supply system. BACKPRESSURE - Backpressure shall mean any elevation of pressure in the downstream piping system (by pump, elevation of piping, or steam and/or air pressure). above the supply pressure at the point of consideration which would cause, or tend to cause, a flow back into the distribution piping of the potable water supply system. CONTAMINATION - An impairment of the quality of the potable water by any solid, liquid or gaseous compounds or mixtures which would create a potential or actual hazard to the public health, or would create an unacceptable taste, odor or color in the potable water. CROSS -CONNECTION - Any physical connection or arrangement of piping or fixtures between two otherwise separate piping systems, one of which contains potable water and the other non -potable water or industrial fluids of questionable safety, through which, or because of which, backflow (from backpressure or back -siphonage) may occur into the potable water system. A water service connection between a public potable water distribution system and a customer's water distribution system which is cross -connected to a contaminated fixture, industrial piping system, or a potentially contaminated supply or auxiliary water system, constitutes one type of cross - connection. Other types of cross -connection include connectors such as swing connections, removable sections, four-way plug valves, spools, dummy sections of pipe, swivel or changeover devices, sliding multiport tube, solid connections, and the like. DEPARTMENT - The City of Sebastian Utilities Department DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES - The Director of Utilities for the City of Sebastian is vested with the authority and responsibility for the implementation of an effective cross -connection program and for the enforcement of the provisions of this policy. DOUBLE CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY - An assembly composed of two independently operating approved check valves*, with tightly closing shut-off valves on each side of the check valves, plus properly located test cocks for the testing of each check valve independent of the other. The entire assembly shall meet the design and performance specifications and approval of a backflow prevention device. * A valve that is drip -tight in the normal direction of flow when the inlet pressure is one p.s.i. and the 4 outlet pressure is zero. The check valve shall permit no leakage in a direction reverse to the normal flow. The closure element (e.g. clapper) shall be internally loaded to promote rapid and positive closure. HAZARD, DEGREE OF - The term degree of hazard is a qualification of what potential and actual risk to public health may result from cross -connections within a water using facility and the adverse effect of the hazard upon the potable water system. Establishing the degree of hazard is directly related to the type and toxicity of contaminates that could feasibly enter the public water supply system and is determined by the Utilities Department. HAZARD, HEALTH - The term health hazard shall mean an actual or potential threat of contamination or pollution of a physical or toxic nature to the public potable water system or the consumer's potable water system to such a degree or intensity that there would be a danger to health. INDUSTRIAL PIPING SYSTEM, CONSUMER'S - The term consumer's industrial piping system shall mean any system used by the consumer for the transmission of or to store any fluid, solid or gaseous substance other than an approved water supply. Such a system would include all pipes, conduits, tanks, receptacles, fixtures, equipment and appurtenances to produce, convey or store substances which are or may be polluted or contaminated. NONPOTABLE WATER - Water which is not safe for human consumption or which is of questionable potability. POLLUTION - The presence of any foreign substance (organic, inorganic, or biological) in the water which tends to degrade its quality so as to constitute a hazard or impair the usefulness or quality of the water to a degree which may or may not create an actual hazard to public health but which does adversely and unreasonably affect such waters for domestic use. POTABLE WATER - Any water which, according to recognized standards, is safe for human consumption. PROVIDER or WATER PROVIDER - The owner or operator of the public potable water system supplying treated water to the public. REDUCED PRESSURE PRINCIPLE BACKFLOW PREVENTER - An assembly composed of two independently operating approved check valves*, with an automatically operating differential pressure relief valve between two tightly closing shut-off valves on each side of the check valves, plus properly located test cocks for the testing of each check valve and relief valve independent of the other. The entire assembly shall meet the design, performance specifications and approval of a recognized and City approved testing agency for backflow prevention devices. The device shall operate to maintain the pressure in the zone between the two check valves at a level less than the pressure on the public water supply side of the device. At cessation of normal flow the pressure between the two check valves shall be less than the pressure on the public water supply system side of the device. In case of leakage of either of the check valves, the differential relief valve shall operate to 5 maintain the reduced pressure in the zone between the two check valves by discharging to the atmosphere. When the inlet pressure is two p.s.i. or less, the relief valve shall open to atmosphere. For the installation of this type of device to be approved it shall be readily accessible for in-line testing and maintenance and the lowest point on the valve shall be a minimum of twelve (12) inches above the ground level. *(The check valves shall meet the same specifications as the check valves in a double check valve assembly.) SERVICE CONNECTION - The terminal end of the public potable water system; that is, where the water provider loses jurisdiction and sanitary control over the water at its point of delivery to the customer's water system. If a meter is installed at the service connection, the service connection shall mean the downstream end of the meter. "SERVICE CONNECTION" shall also include water service connections from a fire hydrant and all other temporary or emergency water service connections from the public potable water system. WATER SYSTEM - The water system shall be considered as made up of two parts: The customer system and the public potable (utility) system. 1. The CUSTOMER SYSTEM shall include those parts of the facilities beyond the termination of the public potable water distribution system which are utilized in conveying utility - delivered domestic water to points of use within the customers property. 2. The PUBLIC POTABLE (UTILITY) SYSTEM shall consist of the source facilities and the distribution system, and shall include all those facilities of the water system under the complete control of the Department, up to the point where the customer's system begins (meter). The SOURCE shall include all components of the facilities utilized in the production, treatment, storage, and delivery of the water to the distribution system. The DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM shall include the network of conduits used for the delivery of water from the source to the customer's system. PART III RESPONSIBILITY 3.01 CITY OF SEBASTIAN CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL PROGRAM The responsibilities of the City's Cross -connection control program in compliance with Chapter 17-555 of the F.A. C. are as follows: 1. To protect the City of Sebastian's Public Water Supply from the possibility of contamination by isolating within its consumers' private water systems, contaminates or pollutants which could, under adverse conditions, backflow through uncontrolled cross - connections into the public water system. 2 2. To eliminate or control existing cross -connections, actual or potential, between the consumer's in -plant potable water system(s) and non -potable water system(s), plumbing fixtures and industrial piping systems. 3. To provide a continuing inspection program of cross -connection control to insure the proper maintenance of existing backflow prevention devices and to systematically and effectively control all actual or potential cross -connections which may be installed in the future. 3.02 CUSTOMERS The customer's responsibility starts at the point of delivery from the public potable water system and includes all of his/her water systems. The customer, at his/her own expense, shall install, maintain and have tested once a year, an approved backflow prevention device as directed by the Department. In the event of accidental pollution or contamination of the public or consumer's potable water system due to backflow on or from customer's premises, the owner shall promptly take steps to confine the further spread of pollution or contamination within the customer's premises, and shall immediately notify the Department of the hazardous condition. 3.03 BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE INSTALLERS The installer's responsibility is to make installation of backflow prevention devices in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and in compliance with the City of Sebastian Utilities Department's Standards and Specifications Details. The installer is also responsible to make sure a device is working properly at the time of installation and is required to submit a completed BACKFLOW DEVICE INSTALLATION REPORT to the Cross -Connection Control Program immediately upon a reduced pressure principle backflow preventer (RPZ) or double check valve assembly (DCVA) being installed. All RPZ and DCVA devices are required to be tested following installation and prior to use by a certified backflow prevention device technician. A BACKFLOW DEVICE INSTALLATION REPORT (CCCP FORM 100) shall be filed with the Department for final approval and prior to service commencement. PART IV INSPECTIONS 4.01 FREQUENCY OF INSPECTIONS Due to changes in models or components of equipment, methods of manufacturing and additions to plants, buildings, etc., water use requirements undergo continual change. As a result, new cross - connections may be installed and existing protection may be by-passed, removed, or otherwise ineffective; therefore, the customer shall conduct an annual or biennial survey of water use practices on his/her premises to determine whether there are any actual or potential cross -connections in the consumer's water system through which contaminants or pollutants could flow back into the public water system or the consumer's potable water system. 7 4.02 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION All new proposed construction plans and specifications shall be reviewed by the Department to determine the degree of possible hazard. This review shall determine the backflow prevention requirements necessary to comply with this Backflow Prevention Control Policy. 4.03 NEW AND EXISTING FACILITIES In order to determine the degree of hazard to the public potable water system, a survey will be made of the consumer's presently installed water system. This survey need not be a detailed inspection of the location or disposition of the water lines, but can be confined to establishing the water uses on the premises, the existence of cross - connections, and the availability of auxiliary or used water supplies. On-site inspections are made of the new and existing facilities based upon information gathered in the survey. Should the installation of any backflow prevention devices be necessary or changes in plumbing be required, a follow-up inspection shall be made at a later date to verify compliance. PART V CROSS CONNECTION HAZARDS AND REQUIRED PROTECTIONS 5.01 FACILITIES TYPE OF BACKFLOW PROTECTION REQUIRED An approved backflow prevention device of the type designated shall be installed on each water service connection to the following types of facilities. This list is presented as a guideline and should not be construed as being complete. Abbreviates used are as follows: A.G. - Air Gap R.P.Z. - Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Preventer D.C.V.A. - Double Check Valve Assembly D.D.C.V.A. - Detector Double Check Valve Assembly TYPE OF FACILITY - MINIMUM TYPE OF PROTECTION Breweries, Distilleries, Bottling Plants Car Wash with Recycling System and/or Wax Applicator Chemical Plants Dairies Dentist Offices Fertilizer Plants Film Laboratories or Processing Plants Food or Beverage Plants Hospitals, Clinics, Medical Buildings Irrigation Systems with Chemical Injection and/or Auxiliary Pump without Chemical Injection and/or Auxiliary Pump Laboratories Laundries & Dry Cleaning Plants Metal Processing Plants Metal Plating Plants Morgues or Mortuaries 91 D.C.V.A.

Premises receiving irrigation water through the City D.C.V.A. or other Reuse Irrigation system. Others as specified by the Department *INSTALLATIONS REQUIRING CONTINUOUS SERVICE: PARALLEL INSTALLATION All backflow prevention devices with test cocks are required to be tested with a minimum frequency of once per year. Testing requires a water shut down usually lasting five (5) to thirty (30) minutes. For N facilities that require an uninterrupted supply of water, and when it is not possible to provide water service from two separate meters, provisions shall be made for a "parallel installation" of backflow prevention devices. Multi -story buildings which have a number of flushometer toilets should be equipped with parallel devices. Experience has shown that if the water supply is shut off to this type of building, flushometers may have to be reset manually. The parallel installation permits one device to be left on while the other is being tested or serviced. Usually the two devices are sized one device smaller than the service line, e.g. one 2 inch device or two 1 inch devices, one 8 inch device or two 6 inch devices. The Department shall not accept an unprotected bypass around a backflow preventer when the device is in need of testing, servicing or replacement. ** EXTERMINATING COMPANIES All tanks, tank trucks, and spraying apparatus used to convey pesticides in an exterminating process are required to use only designated - protected potable water fill locations. Filling with potable water at unspecified locations or private residences is prohibited. All filling locations will consist of overhead piping arrangements and reduced pressure zone backflow prevention devices. All filling locations must be approved by the Department. 5.02 FIRE SYSTEMS TYPE OF BACKFLOW PROTECTION REQUIRED An approved backflow prevention device of the type designated shall be installed on each fire protection service to any premises where the fire protection system contains any of the following components unless the Utilities Department determines that no real or potential health, pollutional, or system hazard to the water supply system exists. Fire systems may be divided into two (2) general classes. The following are typical: CLASS 1 -- A closed automatic fire system without a pumper connection, auxiliary water supply system, or a closed pressure tank supply system. D.D.C.V.A. CLASS 2 -- A closed automatic fire system with a pumper connection, auxiliary water supply system, or a closed pressure tank supply system. R.P.Z. 5.03 OTHER CROSS -CONNECTION HAZARDS 1. FIXTURE INLETS AND VALVED OUTLETS with hose attachments, which may constitute a cross -connection, shall be protected by the proper approved vacuum breaker installed at least six (6) inches above the highest point of usage and located on the discharge side of the last valve.

Currently, both systems are independent of each other being served by their own plant. There will be no change in the sampling points for Park Place and Palm Lake Club. A sample is taken each month on the north side of the system at the Palm Lake Club Clubhouse and on the south side of the system at the Park Place Clubhouse. Sampling at both locations will continue unless your office otherwise directs our Department to take samples elsewhere. In the Sebastian Highlands system, eight (8) bacteriological samples are .being taken each month. As per our discussion, timing of the samples is not a factor and the frequency can remain at once per month since only four (4) samples are required fo_r.the present population on the system. I have enclosed a map of the present Sebastian Highlands water distribution system dated October 21, 1994 showing the eight (8) sample points presently used. There are five (5) critical sample points which are located at the.extremities of the system. These are to be sampled once per month in lieu of being rotated. These sample points are as follows: Letter to Mr. Jerry Greer October 21, 1994 Page 2 of 2 1) Lot 1, Block 437, Unit 17 2) Lot 1, Block 568, Unit 17 5) Lot 9, Block 412, Unit 9 7) Lot 5, Block 485, Unit 15 Drive 8) Lot 1, Block 186, Unit 10 South End of Filbert Street East End of Arcadia Drive East End of Concord Avenue North End of So.

McNamara Florida Department of Environmental Regulation Central District - 3319 Maguire Boulevard, Suite 232 Orlando, Florida 32803-3767 Re: Sebastian Highlands Sanitary Survey - 20 June 1989 Dear Mr. McNamara: (407) 723-2877 Deficiencies noted during Mr. Huttner's sanitary survey on 20 June 1989 will be corrected at the earliest date. The following corrective actions have been taken to date: 1. A loss of vacuum and leak detection system was placed on order 18 July 1989. This system will be connected to our answering service to allow .monitoring when plant is unmanned. 2. The emergency generator run time, under load condition, has been expanded to four hours per month. Prior run time was four hours per month with three hours under actual load. 3. The first quarter VOC/SOC sampling was conducted the last week of June 1989. 4. Screens were replaced on the storage tank ventilators on 22 June 1989. Screens were installed on well air relief valve outlets on 21 June 1989. The following information is submitted on items marked UNK on Page 6 of the Sanitary Survey: Material of Mains Maximum Pipe Diameter Minimum Pipe Diameter Number of Dead Ends a. Ductile Iron b. PVC c. Transite 16 inch 2 inch 12 How Often Flushed Seven blow -off lines installed with a total of 6,000 gallons per day flushed. In addition, hydrants are flushed two or three times per year. Number of Fire Hydrants 35 Blow -Off Lines Below Grade None We are continuously working to loop our water system. This year we are installing piping that will eliminate some of the dead ends. The only deficiency still to be corrected (the loss of vacuum and leak detection system) will be installed when it is received from our supplier.
