Site work and renovation of a water / sewer project in Jupiter, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

Update: Since 1990, the Town's reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate management practice has been surface water discharge through an outfall to the Southwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River. Permitted by FDEP this disposal method is subject to water quality of the receiving water body and regulatory changes that determine permitting requirements. Although permittable in 1990, surface water discharges for disposal of concentrate are now heavily scrutinized and challenging to permit. The Town's discharge permit includes stringent monitoring requirements and water quality limitations at the concentrate outfall and at specified distances within the River. Though the Town has consistently met permit conditions, water quality impairments in the River are driving regulatory changes, precluding surface water discharge as the preferable long term method for concentrate management. The most suitable long term strategy for management of concentrate and other water plant process waste streams is a Class I deep injection well (DIW) system. This project supports the Town's Strategic Plan Results of Fiscal Responsibility and Safety by providing a long term and sustainable management strategy for concentrate and other water plant process by-product/waste streams that is easily permittable and enables the Town to continue to produce drinking water necessary to satisfy customer demands safely and reliably while meeting all regulatory standards. Elimination of the Town's outfall from the River is expected to significantly reduce nitrogen loadings within the tributary and is integral to the Regional Loxahatchee River Pollutant Reduction Plan. The FDEP Administrative Order associated with the Town's RO concentrate surface water discharge permit requires that RO concentrate discharges to the River cease in December 2026. The existing RO concentrate surface water outfall will remain in place and be permitted for backup/emergency use only. Drilling of the DIW (Phase 1) is underway. Phase 2 improvements include site piping, pump stations and final wellheads and will advertise for bids in Summer 2024. Implementation of this project is expected to yield annual operating cost savings of approximately $850,000.

Permitted by FDEP this disposal method is subject to water quality of the receiving water body (The River) and regulatory changes that determine permitting requirements. Although permittable in 1990, surface water discharges for disposal of concentrate are scrutinized and challenging to permit. The Town's permit includes stringent monitoring requirements and water qualtiy limitations at the concentrate outfall and at specified distances within the River. Permit renewal is required every five years. Though the Town has consistently met permit conditions, water quality impairments in the River are driving regulatory changes, precluding surface water discharge as the preferable long term method for concentrate management in the future. The most suitable long term alternative strategy for RO concentrate management for the water plant, is construction of a Class I deep injection well (DIW) system, consisting of a DIW, pump station, and flexibilty for management of other water plant by-product and waste streams.

As of October 25, 2022, this project is included in the Town of Jupiter FY 2023-2027 Budget CIP. An engineer has been selected for the project. Bidding is estimated to take place in February/March of 2022. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
