System Reliability/Quality/Sustainability Infrastructure system improvements including water and wastewater treatment, water distribution and wastewater collection and transmission support reliable service goals for our customers. • Reduce sewer backups. • Reduce water and sewer main breaks from aging failures. New fine structures by FDEP for sewer main breaks make this even more critical. • Reduced system-wide boil water events as a result of 4 log virus removal system at water treatment plants 1A, 2A and 3A. • Ensure long term sustainability for water treatment, water distribution, wastewater collection and biosolid disposal.

Regulatory Rule Impacts 2006 Water Availability Rule • Limits Biscayne Aquifer withdrawals to April 2006 historical withdrawals. • Creates stranded (excess) treatment capacity of 19 MGD. • Requires the County to seek alternative water supplies to meet future demands. • The County has selected the C-51 Reservoir for their alternative water supply needs. 8
Alternative Water Supply C-51 Reservoir • Agreements are in place for the following capacity allocations with Phase I sold out: • Broward County 6 MGD • Sunrise 5 MGD • Hallandale 1 MGD • Dania Beach 1 MGD • Pompano Beach 2 MGD • Margate 2 MGD • Fort Lauderdale 3 MGD • Miami-Dade 15 MGD (pending approval of capacity agreement) • Would capture and store storm runoff that normally flows to the ocean which would recharge Biscayne Aquifer through network of canals. • Received first Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) from South Florida Water Management good for 48 years with an additional allocation of 3 MGD from the South Regional Wellfield. Meets demand for future water supply in the County’s 3A/3BC service area. Consumptive Use Permits in application phase for water service Districts 1A and 2A. • Palm Beach Aggregates finalizing FDEP Loan for $30 million from 2017 SB10.

Reuse Successes • Broward County currently has agreements with Palm Beach County, Coconut Creek and North Springs Improvement District to sell reclaim water on a wholesale basis. Broward County has a current agreement with Pompano Beach to purchase wholesale reclaimed water. • The Pompano Beach agreement allows the County to provide retail reclaimed water service for Pompano Highlands and future expansion of reclaimed into Lighthouse Point. A consultant contract has been awarded for the design of the LHP reclaimed line. • Reclaimed treatment plant expansion from 10 MGD to 26 MGD is in construction. The $54 million project has an estimated completion of September 2021. • Reclaimed transmission main construction has started for Palm Beach and North Springs Improvement District. The $27 million, two-phase construction project has an estimated completion of August 2021. 10
Biosolid Disposal • Biosolids are nutrient-rich organic materials obtained from wastewater treatment and can be beneficially used for fertilizer and soil nutrient enhancement. • Broward County will issue a Request for Information (RFI) to determine alternative disposal options and costs associated with biosolids. • The County currently sends its Class B Biosolids to select FDEP-approved land farm sites as well as Waste Management. • A new 3-year sludge hauling contract was issued in January 2020 and increased to $38/ton from $36/ton.
