also employs an innovative treatment process that makes possible very rapid adjustments to changing source water conditions. The new treatment process also allows Melbourne to meet evolving state and federal regulations. A chemical coagulant is added to the raw water as it enters a coagulation tank. The coagulant destabilizes the suspended solids and with proper mixing early stage floc formation begins. The coagulated water then flows over a weir into the injection tank where polymer and micros and are added to further enhance floc formation. Next, the water passes through the underflow passage into the maturation tank where the majority of ballasted floc formation occurs. After the water leaves the maturation tank, it enters the settling tank where the floc rapidly settles and is removed from the treated water via lamellar settling. Clarified water exits the system via a series of collection troughs or weirs for subsequent filtration, disinfection and delivery to the distribution network. Located nearby is the Joe Mullins Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant, which utilizes well water and can produce up to 6.5 million gallons of water per day. The average daily demand on the drinking water system is 15.2 million gallons as water is distributed to Melbourne and most surrounding communities. This R/O Water Treatment Plant was put into operation in 1995 with a 6.5 MGD capacity and a 4.0 million gallon ground water storage tank. The R/O WTP's raw water supply is obtained from three Floridan Aquifer wells at close to 850 feet underground. Each yields approximately 3.1 million gallons per day. The permitted peak capacity of the surface WTP is 20.0 MGD. The capacity of the R/O plant is 6.5 MGD when 1.5 MGD of raw well water is blended with R/O product water. As a result, the total drinking water capacity now available is 26.5 MGD. Currently, the average daily demand of 15.2 is being met through the production and blending of 11.4 MGD of water from the surface WTP and 3.8 MGD of water from the R/O WTP. The City of Melbourne continually strives to improve their water treatment processes and protect their water resources. Construction of Phase II of the John A. Buckley Surface Water Treatment Plant expansion and improvement project is underway. This $15 million project will provide for ozonation, which is an advanced system used for disinfections, as well as taste and odor control. Ozonation will replace choramination as the primary means of disinfections for the City’s drinking water system. Melbourne’s water supply is derived from two independent sources, Lake Washington and the Floridan Aquifer. Lake Washington is part of the St. Johns River, the largest river in Florida. Lake Washington is approximately four miles long, and mile wide, and 10 to 15 feet deep. Lake Washington is one of the few surface water supplies used for drinking water in Florida. The Floridan Aquifer is an extensive underground water source that covers some 82,000 square miles. Melbourne’s reverse osmosis water treatment plant is supplied by three Floridan Aquifer system wells. The wells are approximately 650 to 900 feet deep. Brackish water from the Floridan Aquifer is treated with a reverse osmosis filtering process to remove salts and impurities. The water from Lake Washington, which is treated through the Actiflo process and then filtered, is blended with treated reverse osmosis water. Chloramine booster stations in the water distribution system ensure that adequate levels of disinfectant are maintained throughout the system. Melbourne now has a peak Infrastructure Element Data and Analysis 4-9
capacity of 26.5 MGD. On a typical day, demand for water is about 15.2 MGD. The City of Melbourne has a diversified water-supply approach, using both groundwater and surface water to make sure high-quality water is always available when needed. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) has performed a Source Water Assessment on Melbourne’s system. This assessment was conducted to provide information about any potential sources of contamination in the vicinity of our wells and surface water intakes. Potential sources of contamination identified include underground petroleum storage tanks, dry cleaning facilities, and domestic wastewater sites. Melbourne’s state-certified laboratory continuously analyzes water quality throughout the treatment process to ensure superior quality drinking water is delivered to their customers. The state allows Melbourne to sample for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. In Melbourne’s state-certified water quality laboratory, professional technicians perform tens of thousands of chemical and bacteriological tests on water samples each year. The results of this rigorous testing continually confirm that Melbourne’s water is safe to drink. Melbourne's water quality continues to exceed the standards set forth by both the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the State Department of Environmental Protection. Melbourne's water has fluoride added, which meets the optimum fluoride level guidelines as required by law. The overall water distribution system consists of approximately 1,100 miles of six- to 36-inch diameter transmission mains, and about 1,000 miles of two to six-inch diameter distribution piping. The city is continuing to upgrade the distribution system in accordance with its water distribution system master plan. There are two 20-inch pipelines that cross the Intracoastal Waterway to provide service to Satellite Beach. One crossing is an aerial/sub-aqueous crossing located along Melbourne Causeway over the Indian River, and the second crossing is a sub-aqueous crossing of the Indian River located approximately 3/4 miles south of the Eau Gallie Causeway. On the beach side, a 12-inch pipe runs north to Satellite Beach along South Patrick Drive, and a 16-inch pipe runs along SR A1A. Potable water is stored throughout the distribution system to help meet peak demands and provide for fire flow. Both elevated and ground storage tanks are provided. The capacity of these range from 250,000 to 2.0 million gallons, with an aggregate storage capacity of 14.5 million gallons. Local aboveground storage tanks are located near the intersection of the Eau Gallie Causeway and State Route A1A, and immediately north of the City's northerly limits, near the Atlantic Plaza Shopping Center. Melbourne maintains continuous flow monitoring at the Lake Washington Water Production Facilities; this flow monitoring occurs at the point of entry to the distribution system. In addition, continuous flow monitoring is maintained at the three booster pumping stations when they are in use. These are the North Booster Pumping Station, the Canova Beach Booster Pumping Station, and the Hibiscus Booster Pumping Station. Finally, flow monitoring is provided at the four elevated water storage tanks. However, only the Patrick Elevated Water Storage Tank contributes flow in and out of the distribution system on a regular basis. Infrastructure Element Data and Analysis 4-10
