The City of Oldsmar has taken an aggressive approach to developing and implementing potable water conservation efforts. An<br />
alternative water supply project designed to develop an unused local alternative brackish groundwater source to supplement the<br />
regional water supply within the <strong>Tampa</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Water</strong> System has been completed. The development of this alternative source will<br />
assist the regional system with meeting the SWFWMD mandated reductions in groundwater withdrawals from the <strong>Florida</strong>n Aquifer<br />
System by approximately 2 MGD. The City has developed and implemented an aggressive and highly effective Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong><br />
Master Plan which includes a Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> ASR System and currently supplies service to over 1600 customers with an<br />
additional 450 connections possible from previous and current projects. Phase I, Phase IIA and Phase IIB of the Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong><br />
ASR project are complete. When Phase III of the ASR project is completed it will significantly increase the availability of this<br />
alternative irrigation water source allowing for the doubling of the City's reclaimed water customer base. The City has implemented<br />
a reclaimed water availability schedule utilizing an automatic valve system to conserve reclaimed water during period of high<br />
demand. Additionally, the City continues to adjust its conservation rate structure on an annual basis in an effort to conserve potable<br />
water and ensure that the system is self-sufficient.<br />
