1 INTRODUCTION
The City of Boynton Beach (City) provides potable water to its residents and to an extended
service area of customers in a dedicated water service area. The City's Utilities Department is
charged with producing, treating and distributing drinking water within this service area. The
service area consists of the City of Boynton Beach, portions of unincorporated Palm Beach
County, the Village of Hypoluxo, and the Towns of Ocean Ridge and Briny Breezes. The total
population served by the Utilities Department is approximately 100,000 customers.
1.1 Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is to summarize the City's water supply
systems and to provide a plan for implementing improvements to meet future potable water
demand. These improvements may include the implementation of projects utilizing traditional
(surficial aquifer system) and alternative water sources, bulk sales and conservation to meet the
existing and future water demands. All or portions of this document will be included in the
City's Comprehensive Plan to ensure internal consistency and document the City's water
planning process.
This Water Supply Facilities Work Plan was prepared in cooperation with the City of Boynton
Beach Planning and Zoning Department and those of Palm Beach County, the Village of
Hypoluxo and the Towns of Ocean Ridge and Briny Breezes. Population data and future land
use was coordinated to ensure that future water demand will be met with the projects identified
in this report.
This Water Supply Facilities Plan includes the following sections:
• Section 2 - Water Service Area Boundaries - this section summarizes and illustrates the
service area served by the City of Boynton Beach and the locations of self served systems
within the service area boundary.
• Section 3 - Existing Water Supply Facilities - this section itemizes the components of
the water supply facilities for the City including water production, treatment, storage
and distribution. This section documents the quantity of water that the City can
produce and the limitations based on the existing facilities and permits. In addition to
potable water supplies, this section also addresses re -use water and water from other
sources.
• Section 4 - Population and Water Demand Projections - this section presents the
population projections for the City, summarizes the conservation and reuse programs,
discusses projected per capita usage and projects future water demand. An analysis is
also performed to compare water supply and demand to identify potential deficiencies.
• Section 5 - Proposed Water Supply Projects - this section summarizes proposed water
supply projects that the City plans to implement to address deficiencies in water supply.
This section addresses project descriptions, schedules, budgets and funding sources.
This Work Plan will be revised within 18 months after the SFWMD approves updates to the
LEC Regional Water Supply Plan. This current modification addresses updates to the plan
that was adopted on February 15, 2007.

2 WATER SERVICE AREA BOUNDARIES
This section presents a description of the City of Boynton Beach's potable water and reuse
service area boundaries.
2.1 City of Boynton Beach Potable Service Area Boundary
The City's potable water service area is shown in Figure 2 -1. The potable water service area is
approximately 16,066 acres of which roughly 10,160 acres are within the municipality of
Boynton Beach. The approximate boundaries of the City of Boynton Beach are Hypoluxo Road
to the north, the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) L-30 Canal to the south, the LWDD E -3
Canal to the West and the Intra Costal Water Way to the east. The approximate population
served within the City of Boynton Beach is 67,885.
2.1.1 Areas Served Outside of Local Jurisdiction
The City's water utility also serves portions of unincorporated Palm Beach County, as well as
the Town of Briny Breezes, the Town of Ocean Ridge, and parts of the Village of Hypoluxo. The
potable water service area extends roughly form Hypoluxo Road south to the City of Delray
Beach from the Atlantic Ocean west to the E -3 Canal west of Military Trail. Roughly one -third
of the City's service area (5,906 acres) and one third of the population (33,598) lie outside the
jurisdictional limits of the City of Boynton Beach.
2.1.2 City of Boynton Beach Reuse Service Area Boundary
The City of Boynton Beach distributes a portion of the re-use water produced by the South-
Central Water Reclamation Facility ( SCRWRF) to customers within its water service area. The
SCRWRF is jointly owned and operated by the Cities of Boynton Beach and Delray Beach. The
reuse water is also jointly shared between the two municipalities. Currently, reuse water is
conveyed into Boynton Beach along a single corridor along Congress Avenue. This line serves a
number of public and private facilities (discussed in Section 3) and terminates at Woolbright
Road (just west of Congress Avenue). It is anticipated that the "reuse service area' will be
expanded in the near future. Plans to extend the reuse line along Golf Road, Seacreast Avenue,
Woolbright Road and Federal Highway (to Boynton Beach Boulevard) are currently being
implemented. Figure 2 -2 illustrates the existing and proposed expansions to the reuse
distribution system. Existing and future end users, along with anticipated average volume of
reuse water consumed is discussed in Section 3.1.3.
2.1.3 City of Boynton Beach Self Supplied Systems
The City of Boynton Beach has identified two communities within the prescribed Water Service
Area that are self supplied. These communities include the following:
• Royal Manor Estates Trailer Park - this is a small private water supply system serving
approximately 700 people. Per capita usage is projected to be 85 gallons per day. Royal
Manor Estates operates under Consumptive Use Permit #50- 03348 -W which was issued
by SFWMD on October 5w 1994.
• Colonial Estates Trailer Park -this is a small private water supply system serving
approximately 635 people. Per capita usage is projected to be 46 gallons per day.
2-
Colonial Estates Trailer Park operates under Consumptive Use Permit # 88- 00083 -W
which was issued by SFWMD on March 17th 1988.
Figure 2 -1 illustrates the locations of Royal Manor Estates and Colonial Estates. No other self
supplied systems are known to operate within Boynton Beaches' Water Service Area.

3 WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES
3.1 Existing Water Supply Facilities
The City of Boynton Beach provides potable water for the residents of its service area from
conventional and alternative water sources. The City operates two Surficial aquifer well fields,
two water treatment plants, two Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells, five storage
facilities, a reclaimed water distribution system and over 315 miles of potable water distribution
mains. Although the entire water system is interconnected through the distribution system,
raw water can not be shared between the City's wellfields or water treatment plants. A
complete system integration (including direct communication and transfer of raw water
between the East and West Water Treatment Plants and Wellfields) is proposed as part of this
plan.
This section discusses the current permitted capacity of the production, treatment and
distribution systems.
3.1.1 Surficial Wells
The City of Boynton Beach water supply system is comprised of two major wellfields, the East
Wellfield and the West Wellfield. The East Wellfield contains a total of twenty wells, nineteen
of which are operational. Table 3 -1 provides the well construction and operational details. The
West Wellfield contains a total of eleven wells, which are all operational. Table 3 -2 provides
construction and operational details. The existing water supplies serving these two wellfields
originate from the Surficial Aquifer System which occurs just below land surface and extends to
a depth of approximately 250 feet.

Water consumption within the City is governed by Consumptive Use Permit 50- 00499 -W. The
permit was issued by the South Florida Water Management District in August 15, 2003 and will
expire on August 14, 2010. Although the City has operational capacity to pump over 27,000
gallons per minute, production is limited by a number of "Limiting Conditions' contained in
the CUP.
Specific limitations include the following:
• Annual Allocation shall not exceed 7844 MG (21.5 MGD)
• Monthly allocation shall not exceed 741.1 MG (24.7 MGD)
• Monthly allocation from the East Well Field shall not exceed 240 MG (8 MGD)
• Upon completion of the proposed RO treatment facility (on or before July 1, 2008) the
City shall limit the dry season withdrawal from the Biscayne Aquifer wells (January
through May) to 2325 MG (less than 465 MG /month). During the wet season (June
through December) withdrawal may be increased to 5522 MG (less than 771
MG /month)
7-
3.1.2 Aquifer Storage and Recovery
The City's East Plant is the site of an existing operational Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR)
well. The existing well is approximately 835 feet deep and is used to store excess treated
potable water. During the wet season excess water from the Surficial Aquifer is treated and
stored in the ASR well. During the dry season, water is pumped from the ASR to supplement
water from the Surficial aquifer. Typically, the existing ASR well will store up to 150 million
gallons (MG). When the well has been recharged, the City uses the well on a daily basis (at a
recovery rate of up to 2 mgd) to supplement Surficial aquifer supplies. A second ASR well has
also been constructed at the City's East Water Treatment Plant. The well was completed in
2006. The City submitted a permit application to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection in September 2007. It is anticipated that the well will not begin a recharge cycle until
at least June 2008 with potential recovery during early 2009. ASR -2 was constructed to operate
at 4 mgd bringing the total ASR capacity to 6 mgd. It has not been confirmed whether the well
will operate at this level. Additionally, with increased regulation on the Surficial aquifer, the
City may need to transport water from the Western Wellfield to recharge the well.
3.1.3 Reuse
The City of Boynton Beach is served by the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and
Disposal Board (SCRWTDB), which was founded in 1974. The facility is operated under an
interlocal agreement between the Cities of Boynton Beach and Delray Beach to treat and dispose
of sanitary wastewater. The South Central Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility
( SCRWRF) currently has a treatment capacity of 24 MGD and provides secondary treatment
with flow equalization through an ocean outfall between the two cities. The SCRWRF also
provides tertiary treatment of up to 10 MGD of flow for reclaimed water use for irrigation. The
reuse water is used on -site and in the two cities for irrigation of golf courses and green spaces.
The plant is currently undergoing an expansion to increase its reclaimed treatment and
pumping capacity to 16 MGD.
Six end users adjacent to or within the City's Water Service Area are currently accepting
approximately 6.7 MGD of reclaimed water. Reuse is not currently mandated in the City's CUP
and most of the water is not a direct off -set of potable water usage. Each of the six users had
water use permits to provide irrigation water for their respective golf courses. Although this
water does not reduce potable demand, it has reduced demand on the regional system

Six end users adjacent to or within the City's Water Service Area are currently accepting
approximately 6.7 MGD of reclaimed water. Reuse is not currently mandated in the City's CUP
and most of the water is not a direct off -set of potable water usage. Each of the six users had
water use permits to provide irrigation water for their respective golf courses. Although this
water does not reduce potable demand, it has reduced demand on the regional system
-8-
withdrawals by 6.7 MGD. Table 3 -3 contains a list of users currently receiving reuse water
along with average daily usage.
A corridor analysis has recently been completed and a design is being prepared to extend the
reuse distribution force main within Boynton Beach. The goal of this program will to offset
potable water usage and to dispose of the water in an environmentally acceptable manner. It is
anticipated that Phase I expansion of the Reclaimed water system will come on line by 2010.
This will reduce potable water demand (currently being used for irrigation) by approximately
0.5 MGD. Table 3-4 summarizes the end users that will be incorporated into the Phase I
expansion of the reclaimed water system. It is estimated that 50% of the reuse water will offset
demand on the potable water system.
3.1.4 Bulk User Agreement
The City entered into agreement with Palm Beach County on December 21, 2004, for the
purchase and sale of bulk potable water. On October 2nd 2007 the Board of County
Commissioners approved the First Amendment to the Interlocal agreement between Palm
Beach County and the City for the purchase and sale of bulk potable water. Copies of the above
agreement and amendment are enclosed in Appendix A. The agreement includes the purchase
of 1 MGD of firm capacity from Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department and provides
the City with the flexibility to purchase an additional 4 MGD as needed. The duration on the
optional 4 MGD will extend through 2012. Water purchased from Palm Beach County will be
integrated into the City's distribution system to supplement available water for the entire
service area.
3.1.5 Other User Agreements
The City of Boynton Beach has identified one additional geographic area within the City's
Water Service Area that receives water from sources other than the City. Whispering Pines
Trailer Park is located on Gateway Boulevard between Lawrence Road and Military Trail. The

3.1.5 Other User Agreements
The City of Boynton Beach has identified one additional geographic area within the City's
Water Service Area that receives water from sources other than the City. Whispering Pines
Trailer Park is located on Gateway Boulevard between Lawrence Road and Military Trail. The
-9-
community has a population of approximately 300 people and has water provided through an
agreement with the Town of Lake Clark Shores. The Town of Lake Clark Shores provides water
to Whispering Pines through a bulk user agreement with the City of Lake Worth's water
system. The Town of Lake Clark Shores was contacted during the development of this Water
Supply Plan and is aware of their commitment to supply water to Whispering Pines Trailer
Park. In addition, the Town is in the process of preparing a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan
and will indicate that they have sufficient water to meet Town demand (including Whispering
Pines Trailer Park C) through 2018.
3.2 Water Treatment and Storage Facilities
The City of Boynton Beach supplies water from two water treatment facilities including the East
and West Water Treatment Plants. Although the system is interconnected by the finished water
distribution system, there is not direct linkage between the City's water treatment plants or
between the two wellfields. In order to maintain sustainable operation, both plants must be
operational.
3.2.1 East Water Treatment Plant
The City's East Water Treatment plant is located at 124 East Woolbright Road and uses
conventional lime softening to treat water from the East Wellfield. The location of the East
Water Treatment Plant is illustrated in Figure 3 -1. The plant was originally constructed in 1963
and expanded in 1978. The Plant is currently rated by the Palm Beach County Health Unit
( PBCHU) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection at 19.2 MGD. Plant output,
however, is limited by the amount of raw water available from the existing Surficial wellfield
supply. The PBCHU currently considers that extraction from the Surficial wellfield is limited to
a maximum of 12 MGD based on the capacity of existing equipment. The South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD), however, limits the amount of water available to this plant
from the existing Surficial well field to 240 MG per month (8 MGD). The East Plant also has an
ASR well that can provide an additional 2 MGD of capacity. During periods of exceptional
water demand, the East Water Treatment Plant can produce nearly one million gallons per hour
through a combination of Surficial aquifer wells, ASR and storage. A second ASR well (ASR -2)
is planned to come on line in 2009. This well is discussed later in the report.
3.2.2 West Water Treatment Plant
The City's West Water Treatment Plant is located west of the City on Boynton Beach Boulevard
just east of the Lake Worth Water Management District's E4 Canal. The location of the West
Water Treatment Plant is illustrated in Figure 3 -1. The plant was built in 1993 and utilizes nano
filtration or membrane softening to treat water from the Surficial (Biscayne) aquifer water. The
membrane softening process reduces hardness and total organic carbon content. The plant was
recently re -rated to a capacity of 10.4 MGD and with a treatment efficiency of 85- percent. In
addition to the permeate, the West Water Treatment Plant is permitted to blend up to 1.7 MGD
(up to 20 %) of filtered water from the Surficial aquifer with the membrane plant
throughput. The combined output (up to 10.4 MGD of finished water) results from
approximately 11.9 MGD of raw water.
-10-
3.2.3 Water Storage Facilities
The City has a variety of water storage facilities to meet the needs of the community. At the
East Water Plant there is a clearwell beneath the filter building. The clearwell is approximately
10 -feet deep and stores up to 1.2 MG of finished water prior to distribution. In addition, there is
also a 1.5 MG elevated concrete water storage tank at the East Water Treatment Plant. The
elevated tank is approximately 165 feet tall and helps maintain system pressure.
The City has three concrete ground storage tanks with a combined capacity of 7 MG. The tanks
include the following:
• 3 MG tank located at the West Water Treatment Plant- The tanks is used for blending
water purchased from Palm Beach County Utilities. This storage tank also helps achieve
the chlorine contact time required fro proper disinfection of the water treated at this
location.
• 3 MG tank located on Minor Road between Congress Avenue and Lawrence Road - This
tank is used to balance water production and peak demand.
• 1 MG tank located west of Congress Avenue on Woolbright Road - This tank is used to
balance water production and peak demand.

Figure 3 -1 illustrates the locations of the two water treatment plants and the two remote ground
storage tanks. It is anticipated that an additional 1.5 MG of storage will be added to the system
by 2010 to meet FDEP peak hour storage requirements. The new storage and pumping facility
will most probably be located in the north-east quadrant of the City.
3.3 Water Distribution Facilities
The water distribution system has over 315 miles of water mains (see Figure 3 -1). The largest
main is 42- inches in diameter and serves as the discharge of the West Water Treatment Plant.
This main divides into two 30 -inch lines which support the western grid and eventually the
entire network. The East Plant has 30 -inch and 24 -inch mains leaving the site. On the east side
of the City, the largest mains run north and south and are on or near First Street and also
Seacrest Boulevard. These mains are 23 -inch and 20 -inch at Woolbright Road, and other major
arteries that constitute the backbone of the water pipe network.
The existing water mains are constructed of a variety of materials and are up to 50 years old.
Most new mains are ductile iron, but some C -900 PVC has been used east of U.S.1 on a limited
basis in areas that may be subject to aggressive and salty soil conditions. There are also small
sections of HDPE pipe. One section of HDPE pipe is owned by the Town of Ocean Ridge and
functions as the northern intracoastal connection from Boynton Beach to Ocean Ridge. The pipe
system in the Town of Ocean Ridge is owned by the Town, but the City provides the water,
owns and reads the meters, and provides some reimbursable maintenance and water quality
services for the Town system. There is also HDPE pipe on the south end of Seacrest Boulevard
where the City utilized a directional driller to install pipes to reduce the disruption of traffic on
this busy thoroughfare.
The City currently has emergency interconnect agreements with Palm Beach County, the City of
Delray Beach, the Town of Gulfstream, the Village of Golf, and the Town of Lantana.
The agreement with Palm Beach County Utilities is a five year agreement to provide between
two to five MGD to the City as supplemental supply. This supply is mixed with City water at
the West Water Plant and re- pumped into the City system. There is a second interconnection

The agreement with Palm Beach County Utilities is a five year agreement to provide between
two to five MGD to the City as supplemental supply. This supply is mixed with City water at
the West Water Plant and re- pumped into the City system. There is a second interconnection
13-
with the County at Flavor Pict Road if additional water is required. These interconnections
allow the City to supply or receive water from the County in the event of an emergency on their
system.
The other named interconnects are for emergency or maintenance needs only and the pipes are
valved and normally closed. They are opened only at the direction of Directors from both
entities and /or their designees. The interconnections are metered to measure and invoice the
flow of water.
The location of these interconnects are listed in Table 3 -5 and shown in Figure 3 -1.
Summary
The City of Boynton Beach produces water from a number of different sources. This summary
presents existine potable water available from the various sources under the existing regulatory
environment. Table 3 -6 summarizes the existing capacity of the City to produce water under
both the wet and dry seasons. This data is revisited in Section 5 to discuss the adequacy of
supply to meet projected demands.

4 POPULATION AND WATER DEMAND PROJECTIONS
This section provides historical and projected population projections from the year 2000
through 2025 for the City of Boynton Beach service area. Population projections for the City
and the City's water service area come from two sources: Palm Beach County Planning Division
and the Metropolitan Center of the Florida International University. The Palm Beach County
arrives at the municipal projection figures by disaggregating county-level forecasts produced by
the Bureau of Economic and Business Analysis of the University of Florida.
4.1 Historical Population
Historical populations for the City of Boynton Beach are shown in Table 4 -1 in one year
increments from the vear 2000 through 2007.
20110 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007

"/..Annual Increase 2.4% 1.7% 2.8% 1.0% 0.6% 22% -0.3%
Notes:
a - Source of City's Population figures 2000 -2007: U.S. Census 2000 and estimates by University of Florida's Bureau
o Economic and $usmess Analysis.
[b] - Average annual population increase during 2000 -2007 period: 1.47%
In 2007 Boynton Beach population fell by 0.3 %. As other municipalities in the Palm Beach
County either lost population or experienced flat growth, and the Palm Beach County School
District student enrollment fell for the second straight year, the small population loss by the
City appears to be a part of a general trend.
4.2 Population Projections for City of Boynton Beach Service Area
Projected populations for the City of Boynton Beach and the municipalities that make up the
service area are shown in Table 4-2 in one year increments from the year 2008 through 2025.
Given the prolonged downturn in residential markets and the overall economic climate, the
population growth over the next 5 years is likely to be weaker than previously thought, and the
population projections for this period have to be adjusted slightly downward from the
Metropolitan Center of FIU projections. Since the 2000 Census, the City grew on average about
1.5% per year. Staff used this annual increase to produce a short -term, 5 -year adjustment to the
population projections.
The adjusted 5 -year population projections are used for the level -of- service standards
calculations for public facilities and services provided within city's boundaries. For water and
sanitary sewer facility planning within the entire service area, the City has used estimates
slightly lower than those developed by the Metropolitan Center housing unit -based projections
(which, in case of the total service area, constitute a low scenario). This lower projection was
developed to reflect the recent changes in the economy and in the construction industries. These
projected populations, although lower than those estimated by Palm Beach County have been
approved by DCA for water planning purposes.

Table 4-3 further subdivides service area growth by municipality. Within the service area most
of the growth is anticipated within Boynton Beach and unincorporated Palm Beach County.
The Villages of Ocean Ridge and Briny Breezes are virtually built out and have no opportunities
for population growth without significant zoning changes. Table 4 -3 summarizes population
growth by individual municipality served by Boynton Beach's water utility. Total population
numbers, although not identical to those projected by Metropolitan Center at FIU are consistent
for planning purposes. These population projections were reviewed with the planning
departments from their respective municipalities.
4.3 Historical Water Use
Historic water use figures reflect water provided by the City of Boynton Beach Water Utilities.
These water use figures provide the basis for forecasting future water demands for the City's
service area. Table 44 shows the City's historical raw and finished water use and population
served from the year 2000 through 2007.

Note. Per capita demand ( GPCPD) is defined by average daily demand of the permanent population. The City's level of Semix is defined by
Policy 3C.1.1 as the maximum day demand flow provided to the peak population.
The City has a single per capita average day demand (PCADD) in aggregate of 160 gallons per
capita per day. This value combines industrial, commercial and residential usage because water
usage can not be separated by sector classification by the City's billing system. Overall, it is
anticipated that all future growth will match the current use distribution (residential versus
non - residential). The current per capita average day demand represents finished water and
combines system losses, production in efficiency, and the variations of water use by the
different geographic areas. Table 4 -6 projects the overall system per capita average day demand
onto the component municipalities to project future water demand. Although it is not possible
to isolate individual water demand, it is anticipated that the City, unincorporated Palm Beach
County and the Town of Ocean Ridge will continue to use a similar, higher per capita usage
while the Village of Hypoluxo and the Town of Briny Breezes will have a lower per capita usage
because of the distribution of small homes, small lots and the percentages of multi- family
dwellings.

4.5 Water Conservation
The City is implementing several conservation programs to actively and passively reduce per
capita water demand. The City Commission passed ordinances restricting irrigation,
mandating low flow fixtures and identifying and repairing internal waste and losses. The
following actions have been implemented in an attempt to reduce per capita usage from over
160 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) to 155 gpcd:
A. Permanent Irrigation Ordinance - Palm Beach County Ordinance 93 -3 applies within the
City's service area. It is enforced by the County and the City of Boynton Beach.
B. Xeriscape (Waterwise) Program - The City has significantly reduced the planting of
annuals at city facilities and landscape medians by increasing the use of permanent native
vegetation. The City's Landscape Code requires that 50% of all new landscaping consist
of native / Xeriscape / Waterwise plant species.
C. Ultra -low Volume Plumbing Fixture Ordinance - The city has adopted Ordinances No.
092-41 and 09242, requiring new and replacement toilets, showerheads, and other
fixtures to be low flow. These ordinances adopt the Standard Building Codes, and
Uniform countywide Amendments.
D. Water Conservation Rate Structure - In 1990, the City Commission adopted an eight tier
conservation -based rate ordinance, whereby the more water used, the higher the rate per
thousand gallons, as a means of reducing demands. In 2002 the Commission amended
this ordinance to adjust the conservation based rate structure. Under these amendments,
the rate of the highest tier increased by 17 %.
E. Leak Detection Program - As a result of the implementation of replacing customer meters
and old two -inch galvanized distribution lines, the City's unaccounted -for water is
currently approximately 12 %. The City is scheduled to spend an additional 5.2 million
dollars over the next three years to replace most of its remaining galvanized piping.
Therefore, a formal leak detection program is not required. However, the City will
continue to put forth an effort in keeping the unaccounted -for water losses to a minimum.
F. Rain Sensor Device - The City enforces Section 373.62, Florida Statutes, requiring rain
sensor devices on all new automatic irrigation systems.
G. Water Conservation Education Program - The Utility Department has promoted water
conservation by providing tours at both water plants to school groups, youth
organizations, homeowner associations, and other interested parties, with water
conservation being an integral part of the tour, distributing flow restrictors, toilet dams,
dye kits, and "Save Water' bumper stickers, displaying conservation signs, and making
presentations to various civic groups.
H. Wastewater treatment is provided for the City by the South County Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The City of Boynton Beach as co -owner of the South Central Regional
Wastewater Treatment Facility has co- funded the existing 10 MGD reclaimed water
facilities that serves irrigation systems at the Village of Golf, Pine Tree Golf Club, Quail
Ridge, Delray Dunes and Hunters Run. Additionally, the City is co- founding expansion
of the reclaimed water treatment facility to match the full 24 MGD of treatment plant
-21-
capacity. The City will work to encourage the more effective use of reclaimed water by
existing users, and will be expanding its reclaimed water distribution system to new users
in 2008 and 2009.
The per capita average -day water usage within the City has fallen to a current level of
approximately 160 gallons per person per day (gpd). By continuing to implement the re-use
guidelines previously summarized and by increasing public awareness, it is anticipated that the
City will further reduce per capita average -day usage to 155 gpd by 2026. The City's Level of
Service standard for potable water is defined as 200 gallons maximum daily flow per capita of
peak population; conservation measures will reduce this LOS to 175 gallons by 2013.
The City has assigned the responsibility of implementing the Conservation Plan to the
Conservation Officer. This role is executed by the existing Water Quality Supervisor. The
conservation plan is reviewed, assessed, and improved regularly. Each facet of this plan is
implemented and reviewed as part of the City's continuous improvement program.
5 WATER SUPPLY PROJECTS
5.1 Water Supply Projects
This section details the water supply projects that will be implemented in order to meet the City
of Boynton Beach water demands through 2025. The City will be actively engaged in
diversifying it sources of water supply over the next planning period. At present, the City is
totally dependent upon the Surficial aquifer as a supply, but also has one Aquifer Storage and
Recovery (ASR) well in operation. The overall goal of the City's plan is to significantly reduce
dependence on the Surficial aquifer during the dry season of the year, while maximizing
availability of Surficial aquifer water during the wet season. Anticipating additional restrictions
on the Surficial aquifer, the City has developed a Water Supply Plan that calls for the following
actions:
• Bring ASR -2 on -line to produce an additional 3 MGD during the dry season (2009)
• Expand the reuse system distribution network into Boynton Beach increasing reuse by 1
MGD (2010)
• Interconnect the City's two water treatment plants (east and west) so as to supplement the
eastern wellfield with additional water from the west. The withdrawal from the eastern
field is limited due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean while the East Water Treatment
Plant has idle capacity.
• Constructing up to 5 new Floridan aquifer supply wells.
• Retrofit the West Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to treat brackish water from the upper
Floridan Aquifer - +5 MGD
• Continue to increase efforts to conserve ultimately reaching a per capita usage of 155
gpcpd by 2025
The sections below summarize the proposed projects by the City to meet future potable water
demand. Projects schedules are included in Appendix A. They have been approved by the City
Commission and funds for their execution have been committed. The projects have been
incorporated into the City's Five -Year Capital Improvement Schedule (CIS). A copy of the CIS is
included in the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan.

5.1.1 Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Well 2 (2009 / 3 MGD Alternative Supply)
The City completed the construction of ASR -2 in 2007. The City has applied for an operational
testing permit to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in September 2007. It is
anticipated that recharge of the well will begin during the wet season in 2008 and that water
will be made available in early 2009. Although the well was designed for a capacity of 4 MGD,
a more conservative value of 3 MGD was used for the capacity analysis. Future use of the City's
two ASR wells will be dependant upon other projects proposed to bring Surficial aquifer water
to the City's East Water Treatment Plant. This project is ongoing and fully funded.
5.1.2 Expansion of Reuse Water Systems Project (2010 / 0.5 MGD demand offset)
Phase 1 of the expansion to the City's Reuse distribution system is currently underway. The
construction documents have been prepared and it is anticipated that construction will begin on
Phase 1 by the end of 2008. This project will extend the reuse main from Golf Road and Military
Trail into the City of Boynton Beach. Public and Private clients have been identified and it is
anticipated that this project will deliver an additional 1 MGD of reuse water in 2010.
Table 5 -1: Summary of Fxpansion of Reuse Water System Project
Project Name., Expansion of Reuse Water System; CIS Projects # 1, 2 and 3
Project Location. SE 23H Ave., Seacrest Blvd., SE 4th Street
Project Description: The City of Boynton Beach, as a co -owner of the facility, is in the process of increasing the
capacity of filters and disinfection units at the regional wastewater treatment plant. Eventually, the plant
entire wastewater stream will be treated as irrigation - quality water. This project will include the expansion of
the distribution system for reclaimed water.
Project Justification: The City intends to use expansion of the reclaimed water system as a means of securing
additional water allocations from the Surficial aquifer. (UE Obj. 3.C.3)

This alternative supply will offset potable water demand by 0.5 MGD. This project is being
executed and is funded in the City's CIP. Table 5 -1 summarizes the project description and
anticipated expenditures by year. In addition to the reuse distribution system, the SCRWRF was
23-
expanded in 2007 - 2008 to 24 MGD. This work is identified in Table 5 -1 and fully funded.
Work on the SCRWRF will be complete and the capacity expanded when the distribution
system is in place.
5.1.3 Wellfield Interconnection Project (2012 / 7.3 MGD - Wet Season)
Beginning in August 2008, the City will have additional restrictions placed on the operation of
its Wellfields by the SFWMD. During the Dry Season (January - May), total Surficial Aquifer
production will be limited to 15.5 MGD. During the Wet Season (June - December) Surficial
Aquifer production will be permitted to increase to 25.7 MGD. Unfortunately, the seasonal
allocation will be available in a location where the City does not have additional treatment
capacity. By interconnecting the two water treatment plants, the city will be able to take full
advantage of the wet season allocation by pumping water from the West Wellfield to the East
Water Treatment Plant. In this location, the City has additional treatment capacity and can
store the water in their two ASR wells. This project will include the construction of a pumping
station at the West Water Treatment Plant, approximately 7 -miles of raw water piping, and
preliminary treatment at the City's East Water Treatment Plant to remove color and naturally
occurring organic content prior to lime softening.
Table 5 -2 provides a summary of the project, funding source and expenditure by year. This
project has been approved and funded by the City Commission. It is anticipated that this
project will start in 2008 and will yield an additional 7.3 MGD of water during the wet season in
2012.
Table 5 -2: Summary of Wellfield Interconnection Project
Project Nazue: Wellfield Interconnection; CIS Project # t•
Project Location: From West Wellfield to East Wellfield
Project Description. This project involves constructing approximately 7 miles of large diameter water main
from the western boundary to the eastern boundary of our service area.
Project Justification: It will allow the City to utilize water from the western well field at both treatment
plants, and reduce long -term demands at the eastern wellfield. The eastern field is limited due to its
proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. (UE Obj. 3C.1, Policy

5.1.4 Construction of up to 5 New Floridan Aquifer Supply Wells Project (2012 - Combined
with Project 5.1.5)
The City plans to construct up to 5 new Upper Floridan Aquifer supply wells to feed the
modified West WTP. The wells will be constructed to a depth of approximately 1,100 feet
below land surface and will each yield 1,500 gpm (2.16 million gallons per day). The Floridan
well sites will then be connected to West WTP via new raw water pipelines.
Table 5 -3 provides a summary of the project, funding source, estimated cost and expenditure by
year. It is anticipated that this project will commence in 2009 and will yield an additional 5
MGD of water from the Floridan Aquifer by 2012. This project has been approved by the City
Commission and is funded in the City's CIP.
Project Name: Construction of up to 5 New Floridan Aquifer Supply Wells; CIS Project # 110
Project Location: Western portion of service area
Project Description. The City is planning to construct up to 5 new Floridan aquifer supply wells in the
western portion of its service area, so as to extract a potential 10-12 MGD of brackish water from the Floridan
aquifer, for treatment at the West Water Treatment Plant. This project will include constructing the necessary
pipelines to connect the new wells to the Treatment Plant site, and also construct a required monitoring well.
Project Justification: The Floridan aquifer is a confined aquifer, and although brackish in nature, it is not
impacted by droughts increasing demands on the Surficial aquifer system. The added capacity afforded by
these wells will be necessary to meet buildout demands. This new source of supply will require modifications
to the West Treatment Plant, in order to successfully treat the higher salinity water found in the Floridan
aquifer. (UE Obj. 3C.1)

5.1.5 Retrofit West Water Treatment Plant to Treat Brackish Water from the Upper Floridan
Aquifer (2012 / 5 MGD)
To treat the brackish water from the new Floridan aquifer, a low pressure reverse osmosis
(LPRO) treatment system is required. The City is proposing to modify the existing nano-
filtration system to treat brackish water from the upper Floridan Aquifer. This plant will
provide 5 MGD of finished water. This option allows the existing nano - filtration treatment
trains to remain in place and permit reuse of many of the existing system components.
Additional expansion or blending may also be possible for this system in the future. Table 5-4
summarizes the project description, funding source and expenditure by year.

Project Name: West Water Treatment Plant Re- Design and Modification to Treat Brackish Water; CIS
Project # 111
Project Location. West Water Treatment Plant - 5469 W. Boynton Beach Blvd,
Project Description: This project is coupled with water supply projects to interconnect the two existing
wellfields, and install new Floridan aquifer wells. The plant will be re- designed and modified to remove
the additional dissolved solids found in the brackish water of the Floridan aquifer.

5.2 Water Supply - Demand Analysis
The City's water supply- demand analysis is somewhat complex. The system is complicated by
seasonal limitations in Wellfield production, limitations in treatment plant capacities, and the
fact that available water is seasonally "consumed" to recharge the ASR wells.
Tables 5 -5 and 5 -6 summarize potable water availability based on restrictions imposed by the
SFWMD and operational issues for both the East and West Water Treatment Systems during the
Wet and Dry seasons through 2025. This information is presented graphically in Figures 5 -1
(Wet Season) and Figure 5 -2 (Dry Season) incorporating the planned projects and the potable
water demand. When these projects are implemented, a surplus will be made available each
year throughout the planning window.
5.3 Conclusion
In conclusion, Table 5 -7 illustrates that the City of Boynton Beach has prepared a Work Plan
that demonstrates to the SFWMD and DCA that water supply facilities are planned and will be
available to meet future growth and water demands. This plan builds upon District sponsored
goals of increasing reuse, reducing per capita water demand (conservation) and reducing the
reliance on the regional water supply system (Surficial Aquifer). The resulting system will be
more diverse and flexible to take full advantage of the most abundant and cost effective water
resources.

Draft Amendments to the Town of Gulf Stream Comprehensive Plan
Amendment No. 12 -1 ESR
Introduction
The Community Planning Act, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, requires that the Treasure Coast

receipt of the proposed amendments and must also send a copy of any comments to the State
Land Planning Agency.
Background
The Town of Gulf Stream is proposing one Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and a
series of text amendments to several elements and sub - elements of the comprehensive plan.
Evaluation
A. FLUM Amendment
The Town is proposing an amendment to the FLUM to reflect the 2011 annexation of 16.6 acres
located north of Sea Road, south of Little Club Road, and east and west of State Road AIA
(North Ocean Boulevard). Currently, the property is assigned a Palm Beach County land use
designation of High Residential -12, which allows up to 12 dwelling units per acre. The Town
land use designation being proposed is Multi - Family Residential, which allows up to 5.7
dwelling units per acre. The annexation area includes 12 properties and a total of 102 existing
multi - family dwelling units. The City of Boynton Beach will continue to provide water and
waste water services to the developments within the annexation area.

that states material management areas shall be maintained in a safe and visually attractive
manner; and 6) eliminate a policy that states the need for a study for the burying of power
lines within the town.
• The Housing Element has been updated to include: 1) modifications to a policy with

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Town of Gulf Stream Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) is
to identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and
new development within the local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part Il, F.S.,
requires local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive
plans.
Residents of the Town of Gulf Stream obtain their water directly from the Cities of Delray
Beach and Boynton Beach, which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is
available for existing and future customers.
The Town of Gulf Stream Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) will reference the
initiatives already identified in the Delray Beao;'s Work Plans of Delray Beach and
Boynton Beach since the Town is a retail buyer. According to state guidelines, the Work
Plan and the comprehensive plan amendment must address the development of traditional
and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and reuse
programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development.
The City's Work Plan is divided into four sections:
Section 1 — Introduction
Section 2 — Background Information
Section 3 — Data and Analysis
Section 4 — Work Plan Projects /Capital Improvement Element/Schedule
1.1 Statutory History
The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, and 2005 sessions to address
the state's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and 444 (2005
legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida Statutes (F.S.) by
strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply plans prepared by the
water management districts and the comprehensive plans prepared by local governments.
In addition, these bills established the basis for improving coordination between the local
land use planning and water supply planning.
1.2 Statutory Requirements
Each local government must comply with the following requirements:
Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate
water management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water
supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S., effective July 1,
2005]. Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and
associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands must
accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted to the
Department for review. The submitted package must also include an amendment to
the Capital Improvements Element, if necessary, to demonstrate that adequate
4Da -1
public facilities will be available to serve the proposed Future Land Use Map
modification.
3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities area available to serve new
development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates
issuing a certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier
prior to approving building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies
will be available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the
certificate of occupancy [s.163.3180 (2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. This "water
supply concurrency" is now in effect, and local governments should be complying
with the requirement for all new development proposals. In addition, local
governments should update their comprehensive plans and land development
regulations as soon as possible to address these statutory requirements. The latest
point at which the comprehensive plan must be revised to reflect the concurrency
requirements is at the time the local government adopts plan amendments to
implement the recommendations of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR).
4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater
Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element "), within 18 months after the
water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan, to:
a. Identify and incorporate the alternative water supply project(s) selected by
the local government from projects identified in the updated regional water
supply plan, or the alternative project proposed by the local government
under s. 373.0361(7), F.S. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.];
b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects, bulk sales
agreements, and the conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet
current and future water use demands within the local government's
jurisdiction [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]; and
c. Include a water supply facilities work plan for at least a 10 -year planning
period for constructing the public, private, and regional water supply facilities
identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new
development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.] Amendments to incorporate the water
supply facilities work plan into the comprehensive plan are exempt from the
twice -a -year amendment limitation. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
5. Revise the Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include any water
supply, reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during
the five -year period.
6. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes
described in Paragraph 1 through 5 above, revise the Conservation Element to
assess projected water needs and sources for at least a 10 -year planning period,
considering the appropriate regional water supply plan, the applicable District Water
Management Plan, as well as applicable consumptive use permit(s). [s.163.3177
(6)(d), F.S.]
If the established planning period of a comprehensive plan is greater than ten years,
the plan must address the water supply sources necessary to meet and achieve the
4Da -2
existing and projected water use demand for established planning period,
considering the appropriate regional water supply plan. [s.163.3167(13), F.S.]
7. To the extent necessary to maintain internal consistency after making changes
described in Paragraphs 1 through 5 above, revise the Intergovernmental
Coordination Element to ensure coordination of the comprehensive plan with
applicable regional water supply plans and regional water supply authorities' plans.
[s.163.3177(6)(h)1., F.S.]
8. Address in the EAR, the extent to which the local government has implemented the
10 -year water supply facilities work plan, including the development of alternative
water supplies, and determine whether the identified alternative water supply
projects, traditional water supply projects, bulk sales agreements, and conservation
and reuse programs are meeting local water use demands. [s.163.3191 (2)(1), F.S.]
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Overview
The Town of Gulf Stream was incorporated in 1925, as a small, seasonal, beachfront
community. The Town's unique location with the great majority of the municipal land
situated on a barrier island has helped maintain its strictly residential character. The Town
can not expand its jurisdictional boundaries much farther than it currently exists. The Town
is bounded to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west by the Intracoastal Waterway and
U.S. 1, to the north is the City of Boynton Beach and the small municipalities of Briny
Breezes and Ocean Ridge. To the south is the City of Delray Beach. The Town is
approximately 524 537 acres. OF 0.81 squaFe miles The Town is considered almost
entirely built out. Within the Town, there are 34.89 41_86 acres of vacant land, scattered
throughout the Town. The great majority of this vacant land is held by government
agencies and is not developable under its current zoning. This is only 2-.94 9_3 acres of
developable land left in the Town, of which 8.89 acres is zoned for single family homes
and .94 acres is designated for multi - family residential use. all of which ^F^ Z^^i^^ f^-
siRgle family FesideRtial development. TheFe are Re YaGaRt multi family pFepeFties withiR
the Tewa. No commercial or industrial future land use designated lands exist or are
projected for Gulf Stream.
As indicated above, the Town of Gulf Stream is substantially built -out. Between 1990 and
2000, the Town of Gulf Stream's population grew from 690 to 716, an increase 0.37%
percent per year. it is estimated that the r ^ r lat u • to 768 2010, h h is a increase fre the mina in 2006 @Wild eWt isffereoted to beFeaarhed OR 2015 vita —a
pepuaatiea of 791:
In 2011, the Town annexed 16.6 acres of Property. This annexation area contains 102
existing dwelling units. 34 approved but unbuilt units and less than an acre of vacant land
The University of Florida estimates that 98 permanent residents live in this area Potable
water service is Provided in this area through an existing agreement with the City of
Boynton Beach. The Town is estimated a Population of 915 in 2015 and 958 in 2030
4Da -3
2.2 Relevant Regional Issues
As the state agency responsible for water supply in the Lower East Coast planning area,
the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) plays a pivotal role in resource
protection, through criteria used for Consumptive Use Permitting. As pressure increased
on the Everglades ecosystem resource, the Governing Board initiated rule making to limit
increased allocations dependent on the Everglades system. As a result, the Regional
Water Availability Rule was adopted by the Governing Board on February 15, 2007 as part
of the SFWMD's water use permit program. This reduced reliance on the regional system
for future water supply needs, mandates the development of alternative water supplies,
and increasing conservation and reuse.
3. DATA AND ANALYSIS
3.1 Population Information
The Town's existing and future population figures are derived from U.S. Census figures,
the Palm Beach County Planning and Zoning Department, and BEBR. 4he University of
Florida, Shimberg Center. B t`..ppn 1 °On -;;Rd 2090 the T-GWR Of r it St i t
The Town's population projections are:
Source: U.S. Census (2010): BEBR, University of Florida (2011) UDKS (2011)
This minor population growth is reflective of the fact that the Town is substantially built -out,
with future development potential and population growth limited by the scarcity of vacant
and developable land.
3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served
The map depicting current Town boundaries and Future Land Use Plan designation served
by the City of Delray Beach's Public Utilities Division and the City of Boynton Beach
Utilities Department for potable water distribution is provided.
3.3 Potable Water Level of Service Standard
In its 1989 Comprehensive Plan for the Town, a potable water level of service of 800
gallons per capita per day was established. Currently, the average level of service
demand in 2005 was 979 gallons per capita per day.

3.2 Maps of Current and Future Areas Served
The map depicting current Town boundaries and Future Land Use Plan designation served
by the City of Delray Beach's Public Utilities Division and the City of Boynton Beach
Utilities Department for potable water distribution is provided.
3.3 Potable Water Level of Service Standard
In its 1989 Comprehensive Plan for the Town, a potable water level of service of 800
gallons per capita per day was established. Currently, the average level of service
demand in 2005 was 979 gallons per capita per day.
4Da -4
This average level of service demand is consistent with the existing Water Service
Agreement between the City of Delray Beach, which is the Town's potable water provider,
and the Town, which is the consumer. This agreement permits the Town to purchase up
to 800,000 gallons of potable water per day. The 2005 average demand for water was
699,000 gallons of potable water per day.
In 2011. the Town annexed 16.6 acres of land which contain 102 existing dwelling units
34 approved units and less than acre of vacant land The estimated Population for this
area is 98 residents. Potable water service for this area of Town is provided by the City of
Boynton Beach. As indicated within its Comprehensive Plan the level of service for the
City of Boynton Beach is 200 gallons per capita per day of peak population For the
next 20 years.

Service for the Town shall be revised to 979 gallons per day per capita based on the actual
usage of potable water in the Town. With the anticipated 2029 2030 population of 841&850

sectors, it is anticipated that the per capita water use will decrease in the near time frame.
It should also be noted that the Town has an alternative water service agreement with the
City of Boynton Beach, should there be any interruption of water service with the City of
Delray Beach. Please also note that there are no commercial and industrial lands

supply initiatives with the SFWMD's Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update.
The City's Water Treatment plant is a 26.0 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) lime softening
treatments facility. Water is pumped from 30 wells throughout the City and transmitted
through underground lines to the treatment facility. The treated water is then distributed
throughout the City and to the Town of Gulf Stream through underground transmission
pipes. The City has more than 426 miles of water distribution and transmission mains,
19,200 service lines, 7,500 valves and 2,456 fire hydrants. The Town of Gulf Stream owns
and maintains its transmission lines.
3.6 Conservation
The Town will coordinate future water conservation efforts with the City of Delray Beach
and the SFWMD to ensure that proper techniques are applied. In addition, the Town will
continue to support and expand existing goals, objectives and policies in the
comprehensive plan that promotes water conservation in a cost - effective and
environmentally sensitive manner. The Town will continue to actively support the SFWMD
and the City of Delray Beach in the implementation of new regulations or programs that
are design to conserve water during the dry season.
3.7 Reuse
State law supports reuse efforts. For the past years, 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
that "reuse is a critical component of meeting the state's existing and future water supply
needs while sustaining natural systems." The Town of Gulf Stream supports water reuse
initiatives under consideration by both the SFWMD and the City of Delray Beach.
4.0 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Once the City of Delray Beach completes its Water Supplies Facilities Work Plan,
the Town's Water Supply Plan will be updated. There are no Potable Water Capital
Improvements planned by the Town during the next five years. Only routine
maintenance paid for by general revenues are anticipated during the next five years.

Town of Gulf Stream, Florida Housing Element
Demographic Data from the 200010 U.S. Census
These statistics clearly indicate the average resident of Gulf Stream is older, in a higher
income bracket and owns a higher value home than that of the typical American family
and also higher than the typical Palm Beach County resident. There are no
substandard houses located within the Town.
As a result of its desirable location adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal
Waterway, the Town contains high land values, significantly higher than the average
land cost is Palm Beach County. As a result, providing affordable housing within the
Town is difficult at best. The Town encourages the development of auxiliary structures
to single family homes, which allows for localized affordable and work force housing. In
addition, the Town recognizes that affordable and work force housing is a county-wide
issue that needs to be addressed in a comprehensive manner. The Town will work
through the Palm Beach County Intergovernmental Plan Amendment Review
Committee to facilitate that goal.

Data and Analysis Update
There is only one main arterial roadway through the Town; State Road A -1 -A
(Ocean Boulevard), which bisects the eastern portion of Town in a north -south
direction. As identified on Metropolitan Planning Organization and Palm Beach
County maps, Ocean Boulevard is a constrained roadway, limited by existing
conditions to a maximum of two lanes. This constrained roadway and also
identified as a shared facility, and marked with appropriate signage, for vehicular
and bicycle use.
The only other arterial roadway within the municipal limits is U.S. Highway One
(Federal Highway), which is adjacent to the Place Au Soleil neighborhood, which
is the only portion of the Town located west of the Intracoastal Waterway. U.S.
Highway One is a state - maintained roadway. These State roadways which run
through Town are generally operating below the adopted level of service
standard of "D," as indicated in the Table below.

Sanitary Sewer Sub — Element
Data and Analysis Update
A large percentage of the Town currently uses private septic systems to handle
their wastewater service. However, there are several private systems within the
community. There is a private low pressure sanitary system operated by
homeowners in the Gulf Stream Core area. In 1991, the Gulf Stream Home
Improvement Association was created to service the Gulf Stream Core area. This
Association services 71 single family homes and the Gulf Stream School. The
Somerset of Gulfstream residential project has its own system, as does
Gulfstream Shores. The Little Club Plant, which previously serviced the Little
Club area, Las Casitas and Hillside House is no longer functional and those
areas connected to the City of Boynton Beach. In 2011. the Town annexed,
through a referendum. 16.6 acres which includes 12 properties and a total of 102
dwelling units. These units receive sanitary sewer service from the City of
Boynton Beach.
Gulf Stream has recognized the need for a municipality -wide wastewater system
to replace the septic system currently in use throughout most of the Town. The
Town continues to assess and evaluate the financial feasibility this potential
capital improvements.
The current arrangement of septic systems, neighboring public systems, and
small private sewer systems in place are able to handle the Town's wastewater
adequately at this time. Since the remaining developable land is minimal and
primarily single family lots, septic systems would handle any new development
as well. Developers are responsible for the cost of wastewater improvements
necessary for their development and redevelopment projects

Data and Analysis Update
The drainage system for the Town has developed over the previous 100 years and is a
mixture of various public improvements by the State, County and Town . The Town
adopted a Level of Service Standard of 24 hour /3 year return storm water event and has
adopted a storm water retention level of service standard for new development and
major redevelopment which requires the retainment of the first one inch of runoff on the

New development is responsible for the cost of drainage improvements necessitated by
the project's impact. Due to the fact that there is a limited amount development that can
occur within the Town the current drainage system and level of service standards are
considered sufficient for the current and future populations.

The Solid Waste Authority (SWA) of Palm Beach County accepts all waste generated in
the County. All SWA facilities are located outside of the Town and operated by SWA.
According to Palm Beach County's EAR (approved October 19, 2004), the County and
thereby the Town of Gulf Stream meet the requirements of CH. 403 F.S. through the
Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP).
The Town contracts with Waste Management Inc. to provide pick -up and disposal of all
solid waste. All Town residents are required to use this service. All waste collected are
transported to the South County Transfer Station located in the City of Delray Beach.
The Town's long range planning for this sub - element is addressed within the County's
adoption of the ISWMP. The Town will have adequate solid waste collection capacity for
new development. The service is funded on a cost recovery basis by the users.
Regional solid waste disposal and recovery facilities serve the Town. There are no
capital improvement projects that would incur the expenditure of Town funds projected
for either the 5 or 10 year planning periods.
Below is an analysis of the Town's solid waste disposal level of service during the 20-
year planning timeframe.

Town of Gulf Stream, Florida 46 -1 Infrastructure Element
INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
Potable Water Sub — Element
Data and Analysis Update
The Town of Gulf Stream is a part of the City of Delray Beach potable water service
area. The Town of Gulf Stream purchases water from the City of Delray Beach but
maintains the water lines. Delray Beach bills the Town based on water consumption as
measured at the master meters. The Town then bills individual residents based on their
water consumption.
In 2011 the Town annexed through a referendum 16.6 acres at the northeast portion
of the community. This area which contains 102 dwelling units receives its potable
water through an existing agreement with the City of Boynton Beach The City of
Boynton Beach continues to service this area of the Town through the existing 6-inch
and 10 -inch water mains in the area. Potable water service in this area has been
accounted for within the City of Boynton Beach's adopted Water Supply Facilities Plan
The Water Service Agreement with the City of Delray Beach dated June 17, 1998 states
that the City of Delray Beach sells and delivers to the Town of Gulf Stream all water
necessary to fulfill the water requirements of the Town, up to 800,000 gallons per day.
The agreement is for 25 years until 2023 unless the agreement is extended. In addition
to this agreement, the Town has a backup water agreement with the City of Boynton
Beach. This back up agreement dated May 19, 1998, provides the Town with water
from the City of Boynton Beach via an existing 6 inch main located at the north end of
the Town, should the water service from Delray Beach fail.
According to the City of Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan their treatment plant was
constructed in 1972, with a programmed life of 50 years (2022). The design capacity is
established by its clarifier capacity of (28 mgd). The demand for the year 2000 was 16.4
mgd with a peak of 20.5 mgd. The build out demand is estimated at 18.3 mgd with a
peak of 22.8 mgd. The amount of withdrawal from the existing 30 wells (programmed 38
wells total yielding 49.74 mgd) is established, through South Florida Water Management
District consumptive use permit at 21.08 mgd.
In 1989, the Town's average demand was 0.659 mgd, 0.604 mgd for the year 2000 and
.699 for the year 2005. The average Level of Service for 1989 was 1021 gcd with a
projection of 1021 gcd for the year 1995. The actual level of service for the year 2000
was reported at 846 gcd and for 2005 was 979 gcd. This reflects a lower level of service
and therefore a conservation of water even though the Town's population increased.
Although the Town has reduced its overall consumption of water since the 1989
Comprehensive Plan, additional water conservation measures have been provided.
Since the its Comprehensive Plan was adopted, the Town has adopted land
development regulations which limit irrigation to three days a week during non - daylight
hours in order to avoid water loss through evaporation. The Town's Land Development
Town of Gulf Stream, Florida 4D -1 Infrastructure Element
Regulations also provides the Town Manager with additional powers to further restrict
water use in the Town during emergency situations.
Additionally, the Town has adopted an inverted rate structure in which the rate
increases proportionally with water consumption. The Town's Landscape Code
requires the use of native vegetation whenever possible and rain sensors and other
water - saving plumbing devices are also encouraged. A new policy requires the
maintenance of these water - saving land development regulations. Another policy has
been added requiring the Town to study and encourage the use of drip irrigation and
other water - saving irrigation methods as a means of reducing the overall water
requirement of the Town. Drip irrigation can save up to 50% of the water used by a
sprinkler irrigation system. By addressing the method of irrigation, the Town can
significantly reduce its water use.
Level of Service Analysis
Based on the actual use rates, the potable water Level of Service for the Town is 979
gallons per capita per day. However, the actual level of service for the maiority of the
Town is the 800,000 gallons per day that is available to the Town through its Water
Service Agreement with the City of Delray Beach. Below is a chart using the latest
population projections and the Town's potable water level of service with the City of
Delray Beach. The table does not reflect the portion of the Town which receives its

Recreation and Open Space Element
Data and Analysis Update
The Town of Gulf Stream has approximately 178 acres of recreation and open
space area consisting of the Gulf Stream Golf Club, The Little Club, and the Gulf
Stream Bath and Tennis Club. These clubs are all private and include a
combination of golf, tennis and swimming facilities. Public beach access is
available at the eastern end of Sea Road with public parking available at the
Town Hall and at the County's Gulfstream Park located immediately north of the
Town. Additionally, the City of Delray Beach has extensive public access
beaches just south of Town.
An 8.41 acre site located on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway, north of
Place Au Soleil is owned by the Gulf Stream Golf Club and is zoned for Outdoor
Recreation. This would add to the Town's available recreation facilities were it to
be improved under its current zoning.
The existing facilities meet the demands of current residents. Since the vacant
developable land is minimal, the available parks and recreation facilities are more
than adequate for existing and future populations, as indicated in the table below.
There are no capital improvement projects that would incur the expenditure of
Town funds projected for either the 5 or 10 year planning periods.

Data and Analysis Update
As indicated in this document, the Town of Gulf Stream is a small residential
community that is considered to be almost entirely built out. Within the Town,
there are 34.89 41.86 acres of vacant land, scattered throughout the Town. The
great majority of the vacant land is held by government agencies and is not
developable under its current zoning. There is only 2.91 9.83 acres of
developable land left in the Town, all of whieM-is-wtithin lets -ned fq.r use as
i> ogle— amily of which 8.89 acres is zoned for single family homes and 94 acres
is designated for multi - family residential uses. No commercial or industrial future
land uses exist or are projected within the Town.
Based on the analysis of the existing vacant parcels within the Town combined
with the population and household statistics from the U.S. Census and the
Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, Rinker School of Building Construction,
College of Design, Construction and Planning, and the Bureau of Business
Research at the University of Florida, the Town of Gulf Stream is essentially built -
out and will experience minor fluctuations in populations.
Because of the lack of vacant land, the constrained nature of the Town's main
roadway, and the current quality state of municipal facilities and services, limited
impact to the Town's levels of service are anticipated during the next 20 years.
As a result, the Town's Capital Improvement Budget for the next five years do not
introduce any new capital improvements, but it does provide for the continued
maintenance of the town's facilities.
Below is an analysis of the impact of the Town's projected populated on the
adopted levels of service.
