Wellington Council Meeting April 10, 2012 Page 292 of 384 INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT road rights-of-way and recreational facilities within the Village Wellington such as Village Park, Boys and Girls Club and Tiger Shark Cove Park. The Village Wellington is currently saving approximately 500,000 gallons per day of raw water by using reclaimed water. In addition, the Village Wellington recently built a “constructed” wetland adjacent to its wastewater treatment facility. Approximately 80,000 gallons per day is pumped to the wetland serving to support wildlife and educational opportunities and simultaneously recharge the underlying aquifer. The Conversation Element of the Village’s Wellington’s Comprehensive Plan states that it shall be the policy of the Village Wellington to encourage the use of non-potable water for irrigation purposes. In accordance with the Goals, Policies and Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, the Village Wellington is undertaking a number of initiatives that will help preserve the potable water supply through conservation and reuse. The following are some of the ways the Village Wellington has been working towards these goals: (1) Enactment of Ordinance 99-08 which establishes permanent water conservation measures throughout the Village Wellington. (2) Implementation of programs for water reuse: by 2011 there will be 100% reuse of treated sewage effluent within the Village Wellington. Currently additional lines for further distribution of treated effluent are being installed throughout the Village Wellington for irrigation purposes. The reuse water will be used to irrigate Village- Wellington owned park sites and rights-of way and private golf courses and possibly polo fields. Once fully implemented, the Village Wellington anticipates reducing its raw water consumption for irrigation purposes by approximately 4.5 MGD. (3) An aggressive policy of enforcement of the South Florida Water Management District mandated lawn watering restrictions has been undertaken by the Village Wellington. This initiative has resulted in the issuance of over 2,800 citations in since spring of 2007. (4) The Village Wellington provides free leak detector tablets to residents. This conserves water by detecting any leaks present in resident’s homes. (5) Using native vegetation on Village Wellington property as feasible and promoting their use within the Village Wellington through the Land Development Regulations for existing and new projects. (6) The Village’s Wellington’s Utilities Division maintains a budget for water conservation promotional material. Materials are distributed through inclusion with utility bills, at Village functions and to walk-in customers. (7) The Village Wellington is proposing sales of reclaimed water to non-Village Wellington owned properties for irrigation purposes.

Wellington Council Meeting April 10, 2012 Page 293 of 384 INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT (8) The Village Wellington is considering rebates for low flow toilets, shower heads and washing machines. (9) Adoption of an increasing block water rate structure designed to promote conservation. (10) Installation of a remote meter reading system allowing for “real time” reading of meters and detection of leaks Conservation programs can impact public perception and support of good stewardship of water resources. Their greater impact is a greater community awareness of the identity of the place in which they reside and how to better sustain it. The following summarizes key areas where the Village Wellington can make improvements: (1) Land Development Regulations. The Village’s Wellington’s Land Development Regulations will be revised to reflect best practices in water efficient landscaping and the use of native plant materials. (2) Water Conservation Education. The Village’s Wellington’s website includes information on water conservation. Water conservation materials are currently displayed at the Utilities Department and are periodically sent to Village Wellington customers with utility bills. (3) The Village Wellington will expand the reclaimed water facilities by 2011 from 1 MGD to 6.5 MGD. The Village’s Wellington’s ultimate goal is to utilize all wastewater as reclaimed water - an estimated savings of over 4.5 million gallons of raw water used for irrigation each day. (4) The Village Wellington will continue to implement examples of water efficient landscapes as models for the public. (5) Further use of native vegetation on Village Wellington property, and promoting their use within the Village Wellington through the Land Development Regulations. (6) Expansion of reclaimed water lines to service a broader area. The Village Wellington will continue to explore innovative and effective measures to promote the conservation of water through research of new technology and methods. 3.8 Reuse State law supports reuse efforts. Florida’s utilities, local governments, and water management districts have led the nation in implementing water reuse programs that increase the quantity of reclaimed water used and public acceptance of reuse programs. Section 373.250(1) F.S. provides that “water reuse programs designed and operated in compliance with Florida’s rules governing reuse are deemed protective of public health and environmental quality.” In addition, Section 403.064(1), F.S., provides Wellington Comprehensive Plan – Infrastructure Element Update 2011 INF-34
