A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA,
REQUESTING THE COOPERATION OF THE LAKE
WORTH DRAINAGE DISTRICT TO PERMIT THE
INSTALLATION OF THE SOUTH CENTRAL
REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND
DISPOSAL RECLAIMED WATER EFFLUENT LINES
WITHIN THE L-28 CANAL RIGHT-OF-WAY, WAIVING
THE USE FEES WITH RESPECT THERETO IN
ORDER TO PROMOTE THIS ENVIRONMENTALLY
BENEFICIAL PROJECT.
WHEREAS, the City of Delray Beach and the City of Boynton Beach
(the "Cities") have joined together, through an Interlocal Agreement dated
December 26, 1974, creating a special district known as the South Central Regional
Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board (the "Board"), which such Board is the
201 Facilities Plan lead agency for wastewater treatment in the South Central Palm
Beach County §201 region; and
WHEREAS, the Board is in the process of determining the economic
and technical feasibility for the construction and implementation of a reclaimed
water irrigation system whereby wastewater would be reclaimed, treated and
distributed to five (5) golf courses, all located with the Lake Worth Drainage District
taxing boundary; and
WHEREAS, all five of the above-described golf courses are current,
consumptive use permit holders, permitting withdrawal of waters from the water
table within the Lake Worth Drainage District boundaries; and
WHEREAS, the only economically feasible routing for the reclaimed
water transmission mains from the Board to the golf courses would require the
installation of 900 lineal feet of 30-inch ductile iron pipe, 1,400 feet of 16-inch
ductile iron pipe, and 3,850 feet of 12-inch ductile iron pipe within the Lake Worth
Drainage District's L-28 right-of-way Canal; and
WHEREAS; the implementation of the subject reclaimed water system
will cause the Board's customers to incur substantial costs in excess of the current
cost to dispose of such treated effluent into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean; and
WHEREAS, the Cities and the Board have determined that the
project is environmentally beneficial, subject to the reasonableness of the economic
cost of such project; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Worth Drainage District will achieve a benefit
from the Board's implementation of the reclaimed water program by having the
subject golf courses discontinue their irrigation out of the water table and substitute
therefor reclaimed water.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, THAT:
Section 1. The City hereby requests the Lake Worth Drainage
District to grant permission for the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment
and Disposal Board to install 900 lineal feet of 30-inch ductile iron pipe, 1,400 feet

fees attendant thereto.
