10-Year Water Facilities Work Plan
City of Tamarac I
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
This work plan will generally follow the information for local government Comprehensive Plans
outlined in Appendix B of the South Florida Water Management District Lower East Coast Water
Supply Plan. This is outlined under paragraph B of Appendix B which is the 10-Year Water Supply
Facilities Work Plan and other potable water sub -element revisions.
The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan was adopted in 2006 in conjunction with the State
Legislature's expansion on the requirements of the Local Government Comprehensive Plans to
include the development of a 10-Year Water Supply Work plan (Chapter 163, Florida Statutes) for
coordination of water suppliers within the service area. The planned development is required by
all local governments with responsibility for all or a portion of their water supply facilities, located
in an area where a regional water supply plan, in our case the Lower East Coast Water Supply
Plan, has been developed by the Water Management District. The City of Tamarac's water utility
is located within the Lower East Coast Water Supply Planning area and is responsible for insuring
adequate water supply development to its retail customers, namely local businesses and
residences.
1.1.1 General
Potable water facilities are structures designed to obtain, treat, and distribute potable water
to the customers of the municipality. These facilities include raw water supply wells, raw
water mains, treatment plants, storage facilities, pumping and metering facilities, distribution
mains, and customer meters. The City of Tamarac has adequate facilities in most of these
areas to support projected demands for the 10-Year Water Supply planning period. These
facilities are adequate to provide water which meets all applicable water quality standards.
The City of Tamarac has three water utilities meeting the needs of the residents. These
are:
City of Tamarac Utility Department (TUD).
Broward County Water and Wastewater Services - District 1(BCWWS).
City of Fort Lauderdale Water Services (FTLWS).
The City of Tamarac Utility Department is an enterprise fund within the City of Tamarac
municipal government. BCWWS only serves several small portions of the City of Tamarac.
The City cannot plan or budget for the infrastructure improvements for BCWWS. In
addition, the City of Fort Lauderdale wholesales water to a portion of Tamarac. Again, the
City cannot plan or budget for the infrastructure improvements for the City of Fort
Lauderdale Water Services.
The Broward County Water and Wastewater Services serves the residents of the City of
Tamarac in a small area north of NW 58th Street, south of Bailey Road, east of Rock Island
Road, and west of State Road 7. Broward County Water Wastewater Services also serves
the commercially zoned areas within the City of Tamarac along Commercial Boulevard
between S.R. 441 and NW 315t Avenue. The City of Fort Lauderdale supplies the eastern
10-Year Water Facilities Work Plan
City of Tamarac 1.1
portion of Tamarac east of NW 31st Avenue within the City limits of Tamarac. The City of
Tamarac Utility Department serves the remainder of the City of Tamarac. The City of
Tamarac also serves a small development located in the City of North Lauderdale. The
development is called the Courtyards and is located just east of SW 81 st Avenue between
McNab Road and Bailey road. The Courtyards Development contains 288 units split into
several buildings. Figure 1-1 is a map showing the boundary of the City of Tamarac with
a breakdown of the service areas within it.
1.2 Existing Facilities
1.2.1 City of Tamarac Utility Department
The City of Tamarac Utility Department has a current Water Use Permit for 7.54 million
gallons per day. After February 12, 2009, the allowable withdrawal will change to 7.19
million gallons per day. The current Water Use Permit number is 06-00071-W and expires
in 2024. The City of Tamarac has one water treatment plant with a design capacity of 20
million gallons per day. Treatment of the raw water consists of lime softening, filtration,
disinfection, storage, fluoridation, and pumping to the distribution system. The water
treatment plant currently withdraws water from the Biscayne Aquifer with future plans to
withdraw from the Floridan Aquifer. The water distribution system within the service area
is in good condition and well maintained.
1.2.2 Broward County Water and Wastewater Services - District 1
The Broward County Water and Wastewater Services - District 1's Water Use Permit is
currently in the process of being renewed. At this time, it is expected that District 1 will
receive a permit for 13.83 million gallons per day. District 1 has one water treatment plant
with a design capacity of 16 million gallons per day. Treatment of the raw water consists
of lime softening, filtration, disinfection, storage, and pumping to the distribution system.
The water treatment plant currently withdraws water from the Biscayne Aquifer with future
plans to withdraw from the Floridan Aquifer. The current Water Use Permit number is 06-
00146. The water distribution system within the City limits of Tamarac's service area is in
good condition and well maintained.
1.2.3 City of Fort Lauderdale Water Services
The City of Fort Lauderdale Water Services is currently in the process of renewing their
Water Use Permit. The permit number is 06-00123-W. At this time it is not known exactly
what the allowable withdrawal will be. Their existing facilities are adequate to meet existing
demands.

City of Tamarac 1-2
SECTION 2 - WATER DEMANDS
2.1 Water Demands
Water demands for utilities serving the City of Tamarac have been established by taking the
historical average day per capita demand and multiplying it by the projected population within the
utilities' service area. Table 2-1 outlines the population projections within the City limits of
Tamarac. The projections have been separated into the different utility service areas. The City
of Tamarac purchases water from the City of Fort Lauderdale to serve their eastern service area,
but owns and maintains their own distribution system.

For planning purposes the per capita water production within the City of Tamarac Utility
Departments service area is 113 gallons per person per day (gpcd). The per capita water
production within the Eastern Service Area is 73 gpcd. Both of these per capita water
production rates were determined by analyzing historically water use data and historical
populations.
The average per capita water production within the Broward County Water and Wastewater
Services - District 1 is set at 131 gpcd. This is assumed to be constant throughout the service
area. This includes the portion of Tamarac that is served by Broward County.
These water demands indicate that the per capita usage for each of the utilities is well below
the largest usage of 150 gallons per day set by the South Florida Water Management District.
Tables 2-2 shows the projected water supply demands that correspond to the population
projections. The water supply demand shown in Table 2-2 was determined by multiplying the
population times the per capita usage for the given area. The values shown in the table are
shown in million gallons per day.

The City of Tamarac also serves a 288 unit development located in the City of North
Lauderdale. The density of this development is assumed to be 1.5 people per unit with a total
population of 432 people. This development is fully built out with a maximum density, therefore,
the population is assumed to remain constant. This is outlined in Table 2-3.

Currently, all of the water for the City of Tamarac Utility Department is pumped from the Biscayne
Aquifer. Due to restrictions from the South Florida Water Management District, any withdrawals
above 7.19 million gallons per day will come from the Floridan Aquifer. These combined
withdrawals will be sufficient to supply water to the residents of the City of Tamarac through 2025.
The City of Fort Lauderdale is also planning to develop a Floridan wellfield and reverse osmosis
water treatment plants to meet future demands through 2025. Broward County is split into three
water service districts. Broward County District 1 is the entity which serves portions of the City of
10-Year Water Facilities Work Plan
City of Tamarac 2-2
Tamarac. Broward County District 1 is also proposing to withdraw water from the Florida Aquifer
and treat it with reverse osmosis.
10-Year Water Facilities Work Plan
City of Tamarac 2-3
SECTION 3 - WATER SUPPLY PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION
3.1 City of Tamarac Utility Department
The City of Tamarac Utility Department has a current Water Use Permit which will expire in
February 2024. The current average daily allocation is 7.54 MGD, however, after February 12,
2009, this will change to 7.19 MGD. Tamarac currently withdraws water from only the Biscayne
Aquifer.
The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan that was prepared by the South Florida Water
Management District has proposed an alternative water supply project for the City of Tamarac
Utility Department. The project is to construct a 2.00 MGD Floridan welifield and reverse osmosis
water treatment plant. The alternative water supply project that was outlined in the Lower East
Coast Water Supply Plan is shown in Table 3-1. Table 3-1 also outlines the other utility projects
that are required through 2018.

The City of Fort Lauder Water Services is currently in the process of renewing their Water Use
permit. Fort Lauderdale Water Services currently withdraws water from the Biscayne Aquifer.
The City will, more than likely, be required to implement alternative water supply projects as a
condition of their permit.
There are several alternative water supply projects that have been outlined in the Lower East Coast
Water Supply Plan. These projects were proposed by Fort Lauderdale Water Services. The
projects are outlined in Table 3-3. The projects include constructing two (2) new water treatment
plants which will withdraw water from the Floridan Aquifer and treat with reverse osmosis.
