Belleview Wastewater System Improvement Program
 
Requester: Sandi McKarney Organization: City of Belleview
 
Project Title: Belleview Wastewater System Improvement Program Date Submitted 1/9/2006 11:23:10 AM
 
Sponsors: Baker
 
Statewide Interest:
The City of Belleview's Wastewater System has inadequate capacity coupled with inflow/infiltration issues which represent a potential threat to the environment. Odor control and equipment noise issues exist at the current treatment facility. There is no adequate reus sytem in place. Maximum Containment Levels have been exceeded. Rapid area growth and an aging infrastructure are compounding the need for improvements. The implementation of this project will help protect the environment by ensuring that raw sewage is properly collected and treated eliminating potential pollution of Lake Weir and surrounding lakes in the South Marion County area. The project will also address the WMD priority to minimize potable water withdrawals by implementation of reuse programs.

Project Description:
The treatment facility will be upgraded and expanded to meet 20 year planning period needs. The improvements will be designed to minimize noise and odor, to provide at least Class B level slludge product and effluent will meet public access reclaimed water standards. Manholes will be rehabilitated to reduce I/I. Sanitary sewer collection facilities will be expanded to the north and the south along the burgeoning US 441 corridor. A total of 15,400 LF of 6" force main, 17,700 LF of 8" gravity sewer and 2 lift stations and 40 service lateral road crossings will be installed. A 22,000 LF 12" reclaimed water main will be constructed along Hwy 25 to transmit reclaimed water from the treatment plant to the Spruce Creek golf course.
 
Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? No
 
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
The many project benefits include: Improved treatment plant performance, reliability and safety; provides capacity for growth and limits future septic system installations; provides a regional supply of public access reclaimed water. Offsets potable water irrigation use; reduces I/I; eliminates manhole failures and sewer overflows due to manhole blockages. A properly sized sewer collection treatment and reuse system will ensure that wastewater is properly collected, treated and disposed which provides public health protection. A Groundwater analysis identified exceedances of Maximum Contaminat Levels (MCL) for turbidity present in all of the monitoring wells. The improvements included in this project will include reliability and other features to minimize or eliminate the potential for future MCL exceedance issues.
