INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT<br />

Introduction<br />

The sub-elements comprising this element constitute essential public services for an urban<br />

community such as <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong>. Collectively, they serve as the single most important<br />

requirement for the existence <strong>and</strong> functioning of a modern community because they deal with the<br />

public health <strong>and</strong> welfare needs of the entire population.<br />

Planning for sanitary sewerage, solid waste, <strong>and</strong> potable water to serve the present <strong>and</strong> future<br />

population of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> is not under the control of the City. These services are provided on a<br />

regional basis by other governmental entities through appropriate agreements. The City of <strong>Satellite</strong><br />

<strong>Beach</strong>, therefore, must rely on effective long-range planning <strong>and</strong> operational management of<br />

facilities by other parties to meet its service needs. Both qualitative <strong>and</strong> quantitative aspects of those<br />

services are important to the City in meeting its goals of economic stability, orderly community<br />

development, <strong>and</strong> an attractive, healthful living environment. The City has the opportunity to<br />

contribute to the effective planning <strong>and</strong> provision of public services by non-City agencies through its<br />

Comprehensive Plan, ongoing coordination by the City of its development activities <strong>and</strong> public<br />

improvements with other governmental units <strong>and</strong> monitoring of service planning <strong>and</strong> programming<br />

activities of the involved agencies.<br />

Discharged drainage, stormwater management, <strong>and</strong> aquifer recharge are the primary responsibility of<br />

the City. This is implemented through its development permitting <strong>and</strong> drainage facility development<br />

programs. However, Federal, State, <strong>and</strong> county regulations aimed at reducing pollution <strong>and</strong> flooding<br />

conditions provide a regulatory framework for the City's activities <strong>and</strong> responsibilities.<br />

Being located within the "Coastal Area" as defined in Section 9J-5.003, Florida Administrative<br />

Code, the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> has included within the Coastal Management/Conservation<br />

Element of this comprehensive plan extensive background information <strong>and</strong> analyses of existing<br />

conditions regarding the City’s infrastructure.<br />

Sanitary Sewer<br />

Responsible Agencies<br />

Sanitary sewerage service continues to be provided on a regional basis by Brevard County, under a<br />

November 28, 1967 Interlocal agreement with no expiration date; except for the Pelican Coast PUD<br />

area, which is provided service by Cocoa <strong>Beach</strong>. Since 1974, County Ordinance 74-18 has stipulated<br />

that all new construction will connect to the sanitary sewer system.<br />

Facilities/Level of Service<br />

In 1991, the South Patrick Shores <strong>and</strong> Indian Harbour <strong>Beach</strong> treatment plants were converted to<br />

master pump stations to move raw sewage to the South <strong>Beach</strong>es Regional Facility in Melbourne<br />

<strong>Beach</strong>, where a new 6.0 MGD treatment plant was placed into service in May, 1991. This plant<br />
