increased the capacity of the facility to 9.0 MGD. Plant effluent is disposed of by deep well injection<br />
on-site, with reclaimed water also made available in the vicinity of the treatment facility.<br />
Use of reclaimed water has reduced deep well injection volumes. The County conducted a study to<br />
determine the feasibility of diverting all of the effluent from the South <strong>Beach</strong>es facility to water reuse<br />
purposes, completely eliminating deep well injection of effluent. It was estimated that the South<br />
<strong>Beach</strong>es facility could produce enough reuse water to provide service northward to Indialantic. The<br />
cost of the extra treatment <strong>and</strong> storage facilities was estimated at $19 million, with the average cost<br />
per household to plumb for water reuse being approximately $1,300. Thus, although technically<br />
feasible, economic considerations mitigate against disposal of all effluent through reuse.<br />
Since adoption of the Plan, Brevard County has been providing the City with sanitary sewer services.<br />
The City has an agreement with the County for transmission of wastewater to the South <strong>Beach</strong>es<br />
Wastewater Treatment Plant, in Melbourne <strong>Beach</strong>. This plant serves 22,484 residents <strong>and</strong> 724<br />
businesses in the cities of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong>, Indian Harbour <strong>Beach</strong>, Indialantic <strong>and</strong> Melbourne <strong>Beach</strong>.<br />
The Regional plant’s capacity is 9 million gallons per day (MGD) currently with the 2010 estimated<br />
dem<strong>and</strong> being 7.72 MGD. The estimated average dem<strong>and</strong> for the City will be approximately 98,700<br />
MGD of wastewater treatment capacity. This is less than 2% of the system’s capacity. The full<br />
capacity analysis for the plant will be completed by Brevard County in its Comprehensive Plan. The<br />
adopted LOS st<strong>and</strong>ard for sanitary sewer, as adopted by the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> is as follows:<br />
Sanitary Sewer Generation Rate<br />
200* Gallons per residential unit per day (residential)<br />
200* gallons per equivalent residential unit per day (non-residential)<br />
9* million gallons per day peak flow<br />
*Based on Brevard County’s Comprehensive Plan<br />
South <strong>Beach</strong>es Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity<br />
9 MGD, of which 6 MGD is used<br />
Available expansion is 3 MGD<br />
Currently, the City has had no deficiencies in LOS for Sewer for the past evaluation period <strong>and</strong> has<br />
been meeting its adopted LOS st<strong>and</strong>ard for this facility, but as previously stated, an evaluation of the<br />
plant capacity will be undertaken by Brevard County. Upgrading the City’s system has been <strong>and</strong> will<br />
continue to be the main priority throughout the 10-year planning period in order to maintain a sound<br />
system for the future population.<br />
