3.6 Water Supply Provided by/to Other Entities<br />

Areas located within Village Wellington boundaries and outside of the Village’s<br />

Wellington’s Water Utility service area are served exclusively by the Palm Beach<br />

County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD). PBCWUD supplied potable water to<br />

approximately 7,293 (2007) customers located within Village Wellington Boundaries. By<br />

Year 2020, it is projected that PBCWUD will serve approximately 9,735 customers<br />

within the Village Wellington corporate limits. PBCWUD has indicated they have<br />

sufficient capacity to serve any remaining anticipated growth in these areas. The Village<br />

Wellington and PBCWUD coordinated efforts in preparing their respective Work Plans.<br />

For areas outside of the Village’s Wellington’s Municipal boundaries, but served by the<br />

Village’s Wellington’s Water Utility system, the Village Wellington has adequate capacity<br />

to serve projected future water demand as listed in Tables 6 and 7. The Village<br />

Wellington currently has no plans to expand its water service area beyond existing<br />

limits.<br />

The Village Wellington intends to negotiate a formal Interlocal Service Boundary<br />

Agreement (ISBA) between the Village Wellington and PBCWUD/Village of Royal Palm<br />

Beach for the provision of water service to areas within the Village Wellington but not<br />

within the area served by the Village Wellington water Utility.<br />

The successful negotiation of ISBA’s has been incorporated as a policy in the<br />

Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the Village’s Wellington’s Comprehensive<br />

Plan.<br />

SFWMD is currently in the rulemaking process to amend Chapter 40E-24, F.A.C.,<br />

Mandatory Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Measures for Lee, Collier and Charlotte<br />

Counties. The rulemaking process aims to amend the year-round landscape irrigation<br />

measures and to implement more comprehensive, conservation-driven, irrigation rules<br />

on a districtwide basis. The purpose of these mandatory measures is to provide a<br />

framework for consistent implementation, ensure the long-term sustainability of the<br />

water resources of the region, increase water use efficiency and prevent and curtail<br />

wasteful water use practices through the adoption of ordinances that would include<br />

these measures, variance and enforcement provisions. Some of the regional measures<br />

SFWMD has implemented to encourage regional water conservation include:<br />

(1) Mandatory water restrictions<br />

(2) Water Savings Incentive Program<br />
