<strong>Seven</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> <strong>System</strong><br />
Capital Improvement Updates<br />
June 2011<br />
1
Mitchell Road Water Treatment Plant<br />
Improvements<br />
The <strong>FGUA</strong> continues improvements to the Mitchell Road Water<br />
Treatment Plant (WTP). The WTP will treat water pumped from<br />
each of the well sites and will remove hydrogen sulfide (the<br />
cause of black water), sulfur smells and other aesthetic<br />
concerns from the water.<br />
Additional renovations include installing pressure filters to<br />
remove color and turbidity from the water and a new backup<br />
emergency power generator.<br />
The improvements are on schedule for completion by August<br />
2011.<br />

Mitchell Road WTP Improvements:<br />
Current Activities<br />
Construction of filter piping<br />
Adding new electrical conduits to the<br />
WTP switchboard in the WTP building<br />
Construction of distribution pipeline<br />
from pump building<br />
• Most of the larger pieces of treatment equipment, including the aerator,<br />
odor control system, filters and piping have been placed on site and are<br />
being installed.<br />
• The <strong>FGUA</strong> continues other improvements to the WTP site, including<br />
improvements to the interior of the WTP building, completing the HVAC<br />
system and restroom, a new roof and new exterior paint.<br />

Mitchell Road WTP Improvements:<br />
Current Activities (Continued)<br />
• The ground storage tank and pump station will be shut down the<br />
week of Monday, June 20- Sunday, June 26 for tank repairs and<br />
pump station repiping. Shut down of the tank and pump station<br />
may temporarily impact water quality due to the change of flow<br />
in the lines and cause sediment in the lines to become loose.<br />
• Safety fencing and gates on the <strong>FGUA</strong> property located east of<br />
the Mitchell WTP site (the Progress Energy easement area)<br />
remain in place. Area residents and elementary school parents<br />
are generally avoiding the area while site activity continues. The<br />
fencing will be removed after completion of the improvements<br />
later this summer.<br />
• Crews on site will continue working modified schedules,<br />
reducing early morning activity, but are expected to work on<br />
some weekends to ensure the improvements stay on schedule.<br />
The <strong>FGUA</strong> will make its best effort to minimize the activities and<br />
noise on the weekend.<br />

Raw Watermain Improvements<br />
• The raw watermains will connect the water being pumped from<br />
the <strong>FGUA</strong> <strong>Seven</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> well sites to the Mitchell Road Water<br />
Treatment Plant.<br />
• Current Status:<br />
– The watermain construction from wells #8 and #9 on Mitchell<br />
Boulevard, Welbilt Boulevard, and Mitchell Ranch Road is now<br />
complete.<br />
– The watermain from wells #1 and #2 on State Road 54 and<br />
Duck Slough, near the West Pasco Industrial Park, is now<br />
complete.<br />
– A parallel 8” potable watermain along the north side of<br />
Mitchell Ranch Road approximately 400 feet east of the<br />
Water Treatment Plant is now complete.<br />
7
Raw Watermain Improvements<br />
(continued)<br />
– Construction on watermains for wells #6 and #7 on Heritage<br />
Lake Boulevard in Heritage Lake continues. Watermain<br />
construction has been completed along the west side of Little<br />
Road, from State Road 54 north to Heritage Lake Boulevard.<br />
Watermain installations is nearly complete in Heritage Lake,<br />
and the connections to Wells #6 and #7 will occur the last<br />
week in June. Service from these wells will be intermittently<br />
interrupted one at a time for tie-in activity after the <strong>FGUA</strong><br />
ground storage tank at the Mitchell Road WTP is returned to<br />
service. Customers affected by the interruptions will be<br />
provided advanced notification.<br />
8
Pasco County Interconnections<br />
The <strong>FGUA</strong> has completed all of its interconnections with Pasco County Utilities. In<br />
addition to the wells, these interconnections, once operational in August 2011,<br />
will provide water purchased from Pasco County Utilities to ensure that the <strong>FGUA</strong><br />
does not exceed its permitted capacity of water drawn from its well sites. The<br />
following pictures show the locations for the five developed interconnections.<br />
