Data and Analysis Update
The Town of Gulf Stream is a small residential community located in the southern
portion of Palm Beach County„ The Town is bordered by the cities of hart
Boynton Beach and Delray Beach, as well as the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal
Waterway. Total land and water area within Gulf Stream encompasses #-is
approximately 524- 537 acres. OR size and, en# far the Plane n„ celeil
hnrrle rerl ha the A#Ien #in llneen to the et ist and the Intr enne ct el \IVe #e RNay to the
west With the exception of one grandfathered time -share project, no commercial
use is permitted in Gulf Stream and none in contemplated in the future. The
principal land use within the Town is for low- density, owner - occupied single and
multiple - family dwelling units, and for recreational and educational purposes.
The Town has grown very slowly since its incorporation in 1925, commensurate
with a desire on the part of its residents to maintain the natural beauty,
spaciousness, privacy, security and recreational amenities envisioned by the
Town founders. Two private golf courses, a bath and tennis club and a private
school are located within the Town limits. These institutions are important assets
to the Town — both to many Gulf Stream residents and to residents of nearby
communities who are members of the recreational clubs, or whose children
attend the school.
The Town's population does not and is not protected to exceed 1,000 residents in
the future. There are significant seasonal variations in the population, but a
majority of residents consider Gulf Stream as their primary residence.
Residential rentals represent a minor component of the Town's population. Many
renters are individuals or families who seasonally occupy the same dwelling unit
year. after year.
Visually. Gulf Stream is characterized by approximately 350 single family homes
with generous setbacks and lush landscaping. The homes range from large
Mediterranean Revival estates along the Atlantic Ocean, to compact
neighborhoods on the barrier island with distinctive British Colonial or Bermuda -
style homes integrated into semi - tropical settings. The Place Au Soleil
neighborhood, located on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway, contains
nearly 100 single family homes in a heavily- wooded environment. Multi - family
projects are scattered through the Town along the oceanfront and west of State
Road A1A. Densities within the multi - family protects are higher than the Town's
single family home districts, but is considerable less than the typical densities
associated with oceanfront high -rises within Florida.

Gulf Stream architecture is recoanized nationally for its aualitv and eleaance. The
famous clubhouse at the Gulf Stream Golf Club was designed by Addison
Mizner, the master architect of South Florida, and was recognized in 1924 as the
finest buildina of its kind by the Association of American Architects. The
clubhouse is complemented by the nationally recognized golf course, considered
a signature course of designer Donald Ross. Both the Town Hall and the Police
Station are fashioned after the Mediterranean Revival style clubhouse. Many of
the first houses constructed in Gulf Stream are still intact, with only minor
alterations. Thirty -six of the structures were listed on the Florida Master File in
1990. Maintained by the Florida Division of Historic Resources in Tallahassee,
this file contains pertinent data of historical and archeological sites throughout
the state.
The majority of the town grew as subdivisions between the Atlantic Ocean and
the Intracoastal Waterway were developed. In an effort to maintain a tranquil
setting, commercial and industrial uses were prohibited.
In March 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 Universitv of Florida estimates that 98 permanent
residents live within this area.
The Town of Gulf Stream is Pnnr0dPrPd 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-.94- 9_3 acres of
developable land left in the Town, all of `n,hi^h ; thin ^ +^ zene for ,

Town of Gulf Stream, Florida 1 -2 Future Land Use Element
No commercial or industrial future land uses exist or are projected for Gulf
Stream. Existing commercial uses along State Road A-1 -A immediately to the
north and community commercial uses along U.S. Highway 1 in Delray Beach
and Boynton Beach to the west are adequate to meet the needs of existing and
projected residents in Gulf Stream.
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
anew,,., G9RGtF6IGti9R and PlaR iRg Bureau of Economic and Business
Research at the University of Florida, the Town of Gulf Stream is essentially built -
out and will experience minor fluctuations in populations.

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.
Traffic Counts (Daily Trips) on Arterial Roadways within Town of Gulf
Stream
Source: Palm Beach County Engineering Department, Traffic Division
The remainder of the roads within Gulf Stream are local roads and are
maintained by the Town. These local roadways are in good condition and
operate well below the level of service. As shown in the Future Land Use
Element, the Town is essentially built -out with only a handful of vacant single
family lots available for new development.
As limited development or redevelopment is projected for the near future of the
Town, it is projected that all future land uses and associated trips can be
accommodated by the existing traffic circulation network. The roadways within
the Town's jurisdiction are satisfactory with only typical maintenance planned.
There are no capital improvement projects that would incur the expenditure of
Town funds projected for either the 5 or 10 year planning periods.

Town of Gulf Stream, Florida Housing Element
Demographic Data from the 200810 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.

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 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-

Drainage & Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub — Element
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
development site.
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.

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 majority 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
potable water from the City of Boynton Beach. Potable water service to those
properties have been addressed and planned for within the City of Boynton Beach
As indicated in the above table, the Town has enough capacity, through its water
service agreement, to meet its project population.

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 II, 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 Citiesy 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 gelFay BeaGh'G 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:
1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate
water management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
2. 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
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. 9F 0.91 696iaFe miler The Town is considered almost
entirely built out. Within the Town, there are 34 88 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 e.e ,e„iRg fe.
t#e T-A,A,R 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 it estimated that the r u lade„ kyiu inareare +e 769 in 2010, Whinh is;
RArPAi;P fi:Am thp 746 P005 Build 961t 06 pFejeGted te be Feaghed 2015 with A

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.

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, 44& University of
Florida, Shimberg Center. °etween 1990 ;;Rd 2000 the Town of r_-If Stream's populatioR

The Town's population protections 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.

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.
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
estimated 98 residents in this area, the estimate use is 19,600 gallons per day. Within this
newly- annexed area, it is estimated that the population will grow by 42 residents during the
next 20 years.
Within the majority of the Town which receives potable water service from the City of
Delray Beach, the Level of
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 84&850
persons in the main portion of Town, the level of service would result in a maximum of
832,150 gallons of water a day., `"'hi^h 06 Within +h° iimi+°+iong of the Teyin'c �Ai°+ °r Sewipe
A ^r°°...eRt With the city of n°ir°., Q° °^h This projection assumes that current level of
service. With the additional emphasis on water conservation in the public and private
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

3.6 Water Supply Provided by Other Entities
The City of Delray Beach Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is included by reference. The
intent of the City of Delray Beach's Work Plan is to meet the statutory requirements
mentioned in subsection 1.2 of this plan and to coordinate the City Work Plan's water
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.
