Tampa Bay Region - Southwest Florida Water Management District

The new recommended alternative includes complete replacement of most of the existing stormwater infrastructure in this drainage
area and potential modification of the water quality BMP to include up to two additional baffle boxes. The additional baffle boxes are
expected to provide increased pollutant removal effectiveness and a less frequent maintenance interval, when compared with the
single baffle box alternative.
Implementation of BMPs in this improvement area includes the following tasks: design, development of construction documents,
construction permitting, bidding and contractor selection, construction of the BMPs and other improvements, and construction
engineering and inspection.
Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection
ordinances.
The City of Clearwater has an impressive track record of developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation measures.
The City has met the requirements of the Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area stipulations included in its Water Use
Permit. The 2010 Water Year compliance per capita water consumption for the City of Clearwater was 80 gpcd. This is well below
the required 130 gpcd for Year 2001 required in the Water Use Caution Area regulations. The City has also implemented a
consumptive use rate structure in October 2006 to ensure efficient use of reclaimed water which reduces the use of potable water
for irrigation needs.
