WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN,2013-2025
CITY OF ZEPHYRHILLS
1. INTRODUCTION
Recognizing the vital importance of an adequate water supply to a sustainable future, the Florida
Legislature established a process for water supply planning via the state's Growth Management
Act (Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes) and Water Protection and Sustainability Program
(Chapter.373, Florida Statutes). Under this system, Florida's water management districts must
periodically evaluate the adequacy of water supplies to meet demand in the state's water
planning regions over a 20-year planning period. The Southwest Florida Water Management
District (SWFWMD)—the planning region which encompasses Pasco County—adopted its
current Regional Water Supply Plan on July 26, 2010. The plan addresses years 2010-2030.
Local governments within the planning region addressed by a Regional Water Supply Plan are
required to adopt a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) to demonstrate that adequate
water supplies will be available to meet future demand for at least a 10-year period. Water
supplies may include traditional water sources, such groundwater, as well as alternative water
sources, water reuse and water conservation. Per Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S., the Work Plan
must be adopted as part of the local comprehensive plan within 18 months of the adoption of the
applicable Regional Water Supply Plan (January 26, 2013).
This Work Plan demonstrates the City's ability to meet current and projected water demand in the
Zephyrhills Utility Service Area (USA) through 2025. The Work Plan is supported by policies in
the Comprehensive Plan Public Facilities, Conservation, Intergovernmental Coordination and
Capital Improvements elements and programmed capital projects in the Zephyrhills Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP).
2. WATER DEMAND
Potable Water Demand
Utility Service Area
The Zephyrhills USA is depicted in Map PF-2 in Comprehensive Plan Appendix D. The USA
encompasses most of the Zephyrhills incorporated area and parts of unincorporated Pasco
County. The portion of the Zephyrhills incorporated area lying outside the USA is served by
Pasco County Utilities. Pasco County Utilities also serves a small number of water customers
within the USA.
USA Water Demand—All Suppliers
Tables on the following page show the estimated 2012 and projected service populations and
water demand in the USA by water supplier. Water suppliers in the USA include the City (Table
1), Pasco County Utilities (Table 2) and domestic self-supply (Table 3). The 2012 estimated total
USA service population is 19,511, of which 98.3 percent are served by City utilities. The total
USA service population is projected to increase by 20.9 percent(4,072 persons) by 2025.
The estimated 2012 potable water demand in the USA from all suppliers is 2.521 million gallons
per day (MGD). Total water demand is expected to increase by 0.437 MGD to reach 2.958 MGD
by 2025.

There are two additional SWFWMD permitted, large-quantity water users in the USA. Together,
these water suppliers pump an average of 0.012 MGD of groundwater per day (see Table 5).
Nestle Waters North America is also a large-quantity water user in the USA, but this portion of the
company's regional water use is derived as a City water customer.

USA Water Demand—City of Zephyrhills Utilities
Note: The focus of the information presented in this section and in the remainder of this Work
Plan is solely related to City-provided utilities within the USA.
The average daily water flow from City utilities in 2012 was 2.49 MGD, a reduction of 0.168 MGD
from 2007. From 2007 to 2012, the City's service population,decreased by 13.8 percent (2,548
persons), which is largely attributable to out-migration during the recent economic recession and
possibly undercounting of consolidated households also in response to recessionary conditions.
The service population projections shown previously in Table 1 assume an average annual
growth rate of 1.6 percent through 2025. In that year, the USA service population is anticipated to
reach 23,158 persons. The increase of 3,984 persons is expected to occur through re-habitation
of vacant dwellings and extension/connection of City utilities to presently unserved properties
(i.e., well users and new dwelling units).
Table 6 identifies City-approved development projects that will affect the number of dwelling units
and residents in the USA over the 2025 Work Plan period. Upon build-out of these
developments—which is not likely to occur by 2025—the potential water demand from the
approved dwelling units is projected to be 0.718 MGD, almost one-quarter of the USA water
demand in 2030 (City served area only). Note:A portion of the build-out of these developments is
factored into the USA population projections.

Reclaimed Water Demand
Approximately 0.56 MGD or 35 percent of the 1.6 MGD of City-produced reclaimed (reuse)water
is currently distributed in the USA for irrigation purposes. The unused 65 percent is currently is
sprayed on one of four Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIB) located at the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport.
The City's goal is to extend reclaimed water mains to unserved areas of the USA to enable full
allocation of the reclaimed water supply and corresponding reduction in groundwater use for
irrigation.
3. WATER SUPPLIES
Potable Water Supply
The USA is located predominantly within the Hillsborough River Groundwater Basin. The
relatively small northern portion of the USA lies within the Withlacoochee River Groundwater
Basin. The principal hydrogeologic units in these basins are the surficial, intermediate and
Floridan aquifer system. The Upper Floridan aquifer is the principal storage and water conveying
component of the basin hydrologic system and is the principal source of potable water for
domestic, agricultural and industrial supplies for the City, Pasco County and most of west central
Florida. The surficial aquifer, which occurs within sand overlying the Upper Floridan aquifer, is
used primarily for lawn irrigation.
Water demand and resource limitations in the Hillsborough River Groundwater Basin, particularly
from major urban areas downstream, have prompted the SWFWMD to impose. pumping
restrictions in this basin. SWFWMD regulates water withdrawals from the Floridan aquifer system
via water use permits. A SWFWMD water use permit (WUP) specifies the maximum permitted
pumping capacity for the permit holder. The City's WUP, approved on July 24, 2009, allows
maximum water withdrawals of 2.9 MGD (average annual) and 3.75 MGD (peak monthly).
Currently, the City's average annual withdrawal is 2.49 MGD, which leaves 0.41 MGD available
for future growth in the City's service population.
Reclaimed Water Supply
The City's reclaimed water system has a production capacity of 4.5 MGD. Current production is
1.6 MGD (average). Only 35 percent of production is currently distributed. The City's goal is to
expand reclaimed water distribution mains to unserved areas of the USA in order to utilize the
entire supply of reclaimed water customers based water while reducing demand for potable water
for irrigation.
4. WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES
An inventory and analysis of water supply facilities is provided in this section. Facility deficiencies
anticipated through the 2025 planning period will be addressed through rehabilitation/
replacement.
Potable Water Facilities
Water Wells
City water wells are shown on Map LU-8 Future Service Area (see Comprehensive Plan
Appendix D). The City Utilities Department operates and maintains a system of nine public supply
water wells that pump groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer. Wells are interconnected by a grid
of trunk lines allowing operation of any combination of wells to provide water service throughout
the USA.

City wells vary in depth from 146 feet to 960 feet (see well specifications in Table 7). Active and
standby wells are equipped with pumps with a total rated capacity of approximately 12.384 MGD.
Current permitted withdrawal rates are 2.9 MGD (average daily) and 3.750 MGD (maximum peak
month). In accordance with the City's WUP, new wells #11 and #12 will be brought online in
February 2013 and Well#10 will transition from active to standby status.

Water Treatment
The City operates and maintains a water treatment plant at each water well site. These nine
plants have combined rated capacity of 4.5 MGD.
Water Storage
The City maintains an elevated water storage tank on Dairy Road. The tank's maximum daily flow
capacity is 0.75 MGD. The dual tank system allocates 0.25 million gallons for higher elevations •
and 0.5 million gallons for lower elevations to provide stable water pressure and adequate fire
flow throughout the USA.
Water Distribution
The interconnected water distribution system in the USA consists of water mains, fire hydrants,
meters, valves, backflow prevention devices and miscellaneous appurtenances. The water
distribution system consists of main loops that are 2-12 inches in diameter. Depending upon
location and/or design circumstances, water mains are manufactured from a variety of materials
including asbestos cement ductile iron, polyvinyl/chloride, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and
cast iron.
Much of the approximately 348 miles of water pipes in the USA were installed in the 1920s. The
average life span of water pipes is 50 years, after which pipes are prone to leaks and infiltration.
A 2012 water rate increase will provide funding for water main replacements and coincident
reductions in water loss over the planning period.

Non-Potable Water Facilities
Reclaimed Water
The City's reclaimed water system was brought online in 1997 as a measure to reduce
groundwater withdrawals for irrigation use. -A $19 million expansion of the City's wastewater
treatment plant in 2009 increased the plant's reclaimed water production capacity to 4.5 MGD.
The City produces an average of 1.6 MGD of reclaimed water, of which approximately 0.56 MGD
(35%) is distributed to area schools, the municipal golf course and the 5th Street median for
irrigation. The remaining 1.04 MGD of reclaimed water is pumped to RIBs to percolate into the
groundwater.
There are several reclaimed water projects listed in the City's CIP, including transmission lines for
right-of-way landscaping irrigation (see Table 14). Expansion of the reclaimed system will target
large-scale water users and proximate residential customers.
Water Facility Condition
The City's water supply facilities perform very well. No problems in maintaining performance are
anticipated over the 2025 planning period. City water treatment plants have consistently operated
in compliance with all criteria established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and
Florida Department of Environmental Protection for public water supply facilities. The water
treatment plants are repaired and upgraded as needed to remain in good operating condition.
Groundwater resources in the area are high quality, requiring only chlorination treatment to meet
public water supply standards. The City plans and budgets for scheduled maintenance and
replacement of water supply facilities, and recently instituted a water rate increase to ensure
adequate funding to keep facilities in operational and in good repair.
5. LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
Tho City adoptod potable wator lovol of service standard is 126 gallons por day por capita. The
potable water level of service standard adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan serves two
purposes: 1) to assess the adequacy of water supplies and supply facilities to serve new
development (i.e., concurrency management) in the Zephyrhills incorporated area, and 2) to
project needs for developing new water supplies and supply facilities (i.e., facility planning) in the
USA. The City's adopted standard of 126 gallons per capita per day is a based on the total
potable water use in the USA, including residential and non-residential consumption and water
losses, distributed across the total USA population (estimated).
Table 8 on page A-7 demonstrates the current availability of City water supply facilities and water
supply to serve existing water customers and provide committed capacity to approved future
dwelling units in the USA. The analysis indicates that City water supply facilities and the water
supply are currently adequate to meet the demand of the current USA service population.
However when the approved future dwelling units are factored in committed capacity, the City's
permitted water supply of 2.9 MGD is exceeded by 0.682 MGD. It should be noted that decades
could pass before the total amount of approved future dwelling units are built and populated. This
•
time provides opportunity for the City to expand the reach of its conservation programs and
reclaimed water system to reduce/offset potable water demand and decrease per capita potable
water consumption.

Table 9 on page A-8 demonstrates the adequacy of the City water supply to meet projected
demand in the USA through the 2025, taking potential reclaimed water offsets into consideration.
The literature on irrigation demands and offsets indicates that reclaimed water use for irrigation
use can directly correlates to reductions in potable water use. Tho SWFWMD data indicates that
roolaimed wator use offeots potable wator use at an avorage rate of 60 percent. This faotor is
reflected in the UA demand for reolaimod water shown in Table 9. Contingent upon expansion
of the City's reclaimed water distribution system to serve additional customers, there is potential
for a 0.202 MGD potable water surplus in 2025. Without reclaimed water system expansion or
other effective measures to reduce potable demand over the 2025 planning period, a deficit of
0.018 MGD is projected.

Concurrency Management System
Development proposals are reviewed by the City Planning and Utilities departments in
accordance with the Zephyrhills Concurrency Management System (CMS) requirements set forth
in the Comprehensive Plan and Article V. Adequate Public Facilities in the Zephyrhills Land
Development Code.
Prior to the issuance of a level of service determination, it must be demonstrated that the adopted
level of service standards will be met at the time of issuance of a final local development order
(i.e., site plan approval, record plat approval and Development of Regional Impact Development
Order) for a development. Final development orders are conditioned upon authorization and
approval of necessary utility services by Zephyrhills Utilities Department Director. Accordingly,
committed water quantities are tracked by the Zephyrhills Utilities Department.
6. IMPACTS ON NATURAL RESOURCES
Based on the analysis presented in the City's 2007 application for WUP modification, proposed
water supply projects in the USA are not anticipated to impact the surficial aquifer or on-site and
off-site lakes and wetlands. Continued enforcement of the City's wellfield protection regulations
will help ensure continued groundwater quality. Furthermore, City conservation programs and
reclaimed water system expansions will reduce demand for groundwater resources.
Wetland &Surficial Aquifer Impacts
In the Zephyrhills area the surficial aquifer is moderately well connected to the Upper Floridan
aquifer through a .leaky semi-confining unit. The result of this leaky confinement is that when
pumping from the Upper Floridan aquifer system, water level drawdown can be transmitted from
the deeper aquifers up to the surficial aquifer. Beginning in 2000 near the end of an extreme dry
period, water levels were measured in the Upper Floridan Aquifer monitor well located at Zephyr
Park.The measurements show water levels increasing approximately 20 feet from 2001 through
2004, followed by a decline of approximately 15 feet through the current dry period.
Measurements from the surficial aquifer monitoring well at Zephyr Park began in 2002 near the
end of an extreme dry period. These records show approximately 18 feet of water level rise from
2002 to 2004 followed by 18 feet of decline from 2004 through the current dry period.
CITY OF ZEPHYRHILLS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN-WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN
PUB-A-9
OR BK 8894 PG 1521
16 of 26
Lake and Wetland Impacts
A long term simulation was performed using average irrigation quantities in proposed City wells.
The simulation showed the maximum modeled long term (10 years) estimate of drawdown in the
surficial aquifer system, at the site of the proposed wells, is approximately 0.5 feet. The estimated
threshold for a median water level that would cause impacts to wetlands is approximately 0.8 feet
(SWFWMD 1998). Long term average drawdown at Lake Pasadena and Clear Lake are less than
0.5 feet in the Upper Floridan and surficial aquifer systems. Because the lakes are currently
fluctuating above their minimum levels and proposed wells;withdrawals would not cause the lake
levels to violate their minimum levels, no lake impacts are expected from the proposed wells.
Wellfield Protection
The City, adheres to FDEP standards adopted for wellhead protection including restricting the
type of development allowed in the vicinity of a wellhead and requiring a 500-foot protection zone
around wellheads. Part 4.03., Zephyrhills Land Development Code, regulates hazardous material
transport and storage, well construction, and related aspects of land use,and development in the
vicinity of potable water supply wells to protect the City's existing and future potable water supply.
The City restricts certain uses and materials within the Cone of Influence and Secondary Cone of
Influence, the land area between a well and the 30-day travel time contour and the land area
between the 30-day and 210-day travel time contour, respectively. The regulations also provide
standards for hazardous materials containment, drainage facilities, monitoring, maintenance/
repair, security, emergency equipment and procedures and Wellfield Protection Permits.
7. CONSERVATION POLICIES, PROGRAMS & PRACTICES

website at: http://bit.ly/UYTbdl.
• Reclaimed Water The City's reclaimed water program is promoted via distribution of
Policies & informational materials to water customers. The reclaimed water
Regulations: regulations include connection, interconnection and discharge
restrictions, including requirement that new development install a
reclaimed or other non-potable water distribution system. Reclaimed
water customers are individually metered and charged a flat rate. The
City requires new development to provide infrastructure to connect
private wells to reclaimed water lines to supplement irrigation water.
City Programs & Practices
The City administers the following conservation-related programs and practices:
• Ultra-Low Flow Toilet - Toilets manufactured after January 1, 1994, must use no more
Rebate Program than 1.6 gallons per flush (Energy Policy Act of 1992)
- Encourages City water customers to replace inefficient toilets
• Water Use - Supply well pumpage (monthly)
Accounting - Water entering distribution system (daily)
- Connections served and meter installations(monthly)
- Meter replacements(monthly)
- Fire Department water use (daily records tabulated monthly)
- Hydrant flushing (daily records tabulated monthly)
- Water break repairs(daily records tabulated monthly)
- Other water uses (e.g., street cleaning)
• Leak Detection - Periodic leak detection program
• - Monitoring of accounted for water
- Billing software to reduce discrepancies in reported gallons billed
versus gallons pumped
- Meter replacement program for meters with unaccounted water
loss
• Education/Awareness - Promotion of water efficient landscape and irrigation practices
through regulations and education
Provide customers with indoor/outdoor water audit information
In 2012, the City and Zephyrhills community members developed Sustainable Zephyrhills, A
Community Action Plan to increase community awareness and action within seven sustainability
focus areas. The plan can be viewed at http://bit.ly/12Gp3Za.
The target of the Water Conservation and Protection focus area is to reduce daily per capita
water use by five percent by 2015 and by 10 percent by 2018 through a multi-pronged water
conservation campaign. To achieve this target, the City envisions a water conservation campaign
modeled after a successful campaign implemented by the City of Cooper City, Florida. The
Zephyrhills campaign would include the following four phases:
• Phase 1: Partner with local businesses to sponsor a water-saving competition between
neighborhood/homeowners associations.
CITY OF ZEPHYRHILLS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN-WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN
PUB-A-13
OR BK 8894 PG 1525
20 of 26
• Phase 2: Perform indoor and outdoor water audits of the largest water users in the city, such
as schools and large businesses. Based on the findings, suggest ways to reduce water use.
• Phase 3: Expand upon the City's high-efficiency toilet rebate program to include other water-
saving devices such as rain barrels and sensor irrigation systems.
• Phase 4: Challenge everyone in the City to save six gallons of water each day through simple
water-saving actions.
Since the plan was approved in June 2012, the City has revised its tier water rate structure to
increase overall water rates to serve fiscal and ecological sustainability purposes. The rates
structure can be viewed at http://bit.ly/UYTbdl.
Additionally, the City has begun reaching out to area schools to initiate a local Drop Savers
Poster Contest. The contest is sponsored by the Florida Section of the American Water Works
Association (http://bit.ly/UQsNm3).
Water Conservation Program Performance
Table 11 shows the cost e#eGtovonoec potential water savings and associated costs of various
water conservation measures. If 100 of each measure were implemented in the USA, the
estimated annual water savings would be 0.057 MGD or approximately 2.0 percent of the City's
potable water supply.

8. PLAN TO MEET WATER SUPPLY NEEDS
The foregoing analysis indicates adequate water supplies in the USA through 2025, conditional
on City implementation of robust conservation measures and programmed capital improvements
projects to reduce water loss and expand reclaimed water distribution.
Water Conservation Awareness, Encouragement& Regulation
The City will continue to implement existing water conservation policies, regulations and
programs identified above in Section 6. The City will seek funding (e.g. grants) and other support
(e.g., partnerships) to implement additional water conservation measures, examples of which are
listed in the following:
Zephyrhills Land Development Code New Water Conservation Programs
• Require installation of soil moisture • Promote low-impact development(LID)
sensors, rainfall sensors or other water- techniques in developed areas(e.g.,
saving irrigation technologies rainwater capture for irrigation use and
• Require installation of water-efficient groundwater recharge)
landscaping for new developments/ • Develop partnerships to increase
• redevelopment awareness of water conservation needs
and practices
• When feasible, require new development/ - SWFWMD
redevelopment to install stormwater reuse - Pasco County UF/IFAS Extension
facilities as a supplemental water source - Builder associations
for landscape irrigation - Community groups
• Require or provide incentives for low- • Distribute water conservation information

• In coordination with SFWMD, explore the - Speakers bureau presentations
feasibility of stormwater credits for on-site • Install educational, water conservation
rainwater capture, use and recharge demonstration projects
• Coordinate with area school for water-
related educational programs (e.g., Drop
Savers Poster contest and Project WET)
Water Supply Facility Projects
Planned and programmed water supply facility projects and conservation programs affecting the
USA are shown in Table 12, which is a subset of the City's adopted five-year Capital
Improvements Program (CIP), FY10/11-FY14/15, showing programmed water supply-related
projects, estimated project costs and committed funding sources through FY14/15.
Table 13 is a long-term schedule showing potential projects through the 2025 planning period and

project that will allow potable water to flow between the two municipal water systems if needed.
Project funding will be predominately from a state grant with the balance funded by the City.
Other viable long-term projects, including any othere may be identified later, will be considered for
funding in conjunction with the City's annual budget and CIP process.

This option would provide 2.0 MGD of reclaimed water from Plant City's advanced wastewater
treatment facility to restore/create a wetland and offset 0.5 MGD of future withdrawals for
agricultural, commercial, residential and recreational customers. The option would include
design and construction of 48,000 feet of 12-inch transmission main, an automated pump
station, a 2-million gallon storage tank and a man-made wetland. The City of Plant City's
reclaimed water system would be interconnected with the City of Zephyrhills reuse system.
Customers in and around the City of Zephyrhills would be served by the system.
Coordination for Water Supply Planning & Project Development
The City is a member of the East Pasco Water Coalition (EPWC), a working group of the four
East Pasco municipalities—the City of Dade City, Town of St. Leo and Town of San Antonio.
EPWC's mission is to address potable water, sewer and reclaimed water needs and opportunities
in the region through "policy, programs, and pipes." Other EPWC participants include Pasco
County(reclaimed water topics only), SWFWMD, landowners and other interested parties.
Unlike other EPWC municipalities, Zephyrhills lies predominantly within the Hillsborough River
Groundwater Basin, which is severely restricted for additional groundwater use. The EPWC is
currently exploring multiple projects involving water distribution from less-strained water supplies
in northeast Pasco to Zephyrhills. Preliminary project concepts include potable water
interconnects between Dade City and Zephyrhills and between Pasco County and Zephyrhills.
The feasibility of new water wells in northern portions of the Zephyrhills USA, north of the
Hillsborough River Groundwater Basin, is also being explored.
