Palm River Infrastructure Assessment

Utilities and Services Assessment Central Services

This analysis includes the identification of water/sewer service providers, water and wastewater treatment plant permitted capacities, and large water/sewer transmission infrastructure locations. Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) data and future land use data from 2015 to 2045 were used to determine future population growth in the study area. Hillsborough County and City of Tampa utility GIS files, the 2018 City of Tampa Howard F. Curren AWTP Phase 2 Master Plan Report, the 2018 City of Tampa Master Plan Report – Potable Water Master Plan, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permit data, and the 2018 Hazen and Sawyer Hillsborough County Septic Tank Conversion – Neighborhood Prioritization Report were used to analyze the existing utility infrastructure. The projected water demand and wastewater flow increase was estimated from the future population growth to determine if there is enough capacity available to support the anticipated growth in the redevelopment area. The Palm River redevelopment area is served by a combination of City of Tampa and Hillsborough County water and wastewater collection and transmission systems. The City of Tampa provides potable water to approximately 75% of the study area, primarily in the western portion, from the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Plant (WTP). Hillsborough County provides water to the remainder of the study area through the South- Central water system which includes the Lithia WTP and the Central Hillsborough WTP. There are 12 interconnects between the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County water systems within the study area. Hillsborough County treats the majority of wastewater from the redevelopment area, but the City of Tampa owns and maintains several force mains on the northern edge of the study boundary. The redevelopment area is served by both the Hillsborough County Falkenburg Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant and the City of Tampa Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plants (AWWTP). Future Land Use/Growth A map showing the future land use of the Palm River redevelopment area is included in Figure 4 . The redevelopment area is comprised mainly of heavy and light industrial land, with some larger areas of regional mixed-use, residential, and urban mixed-use land. Smaller portions of public/quasi- public, natural preservation, and suburban mixed-use land are also located in the study area. Based on the future land use from provided TAZ data, Hillsborough County population projections in the Palm River redevelopment area are expected to have a population increase of 9,978 people between 2015 to 2045. Using the County standard of 300 gallons per day (GPD) water demand per Equivalent Residential Connection (ERC) this population growth is expected to increase the water flows by 2.99 MGD. Using the County standard of 200 GPD of wastewater per ERC this population growth is expected to increase the wastewater flows by approximately 2.00 MGD.
