| Statewide Interest: |
| An adequate wastewater collection system throughout the City will ensure that raw sewage is properly collected and treated before discharge to the environment. This project will protect the environment and public health by reducing raw untreated wastewater discharges to the surface and to subsurface waters. |

| Project Description: |
| The project including administration, engineering and construction of improvemtns to the wastewater system for the City of Brooksville.
Aged (50 to 80 years old) portions of the existing citywide sewer system have deteriorated to the point that seasonal inflow into the system causes sewage backup into homes and businesses, as well as making it difficult to manage flow fluctuations at the wastewater treatment facility. Discharges of raw untreated sewage also occur to the surface and to subsurface waters. Failure to correct this inflow may result in the City having to prematurely expand the wastewater treatment facility to handle seasonal peaks caused by the inflow. The replacement and repair of the aged collection system will protect both the environment and public health by reducing backup and spillage of raw untreated sewage, as well as ensuring that the wastewater treatment facility can adequately treat the wastewater prior to discharge.
The overall planning and long-range budgeting for the rehabilitation of the City�s some 80500 feet of sanitary sewers was completed in 2002. The entire system has been smoke tested and select areas have been video inspected so that the most critical areas needing repair could be identified and prioritized.
The first construction phase (Basins G & H) was completed in April 2006. Flow records since the completion of the first construction phase indicate an approximate fifteen percent (15%) reduction in peak rates reaching the treatment plant following significant rainfall events.
The second construction phase has been completed, except for the resolution of some warranty items. Phase Three Construction will continue the rehabilitation of select reaches of known high maintenance and leakage plus the continuation of the lining of laterals along reaches of main line that were rehabilitated with the Phase Two Construction. The Phase Three construction will be performed by City forces and/or subcontracted directly by the City.
All available grant funds are anticipated to be spent by the end of the second quarter of 2008.
The continuation of the funding through this request is critical to proceeding with the
necessary improvements to protect the public health and environment.

| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Backup and discharge of raw untreated sewage, coupled with a leaking collection system has the potential to have intermittent pollutant loadings on all nearby surface and groundwater sources. The rehabilitation of the sewer system will eliminate backup and discharge of raw untreated sewage |
