OBJECTIVE: To meet the demand and continue compliant operations of the Collier County Water -

increased costs for chemicals, electricity, and emergency repairs and maintenance through the end of
FY22.
CONSIDERATIONS: The CCWSD is experiencing cost increases for electricity, chemicals, and bulk
water, as well as an increased incidence of emergency repairs/maintenance on the Wastewater collections
systems. Cost savings and deferrals are being executed where possible, but funding reallocation is
required.
Electricity - $560,000 - Electricity costs per kilowatt-hour have increased by an average of 14% over
those used to develop the FY22 budget. Water production and wastewater treatment volumes are not
anticipated to vary significantly from budgeted expectations.
Emergency repairs/maintenance - $470,000 - The Wastewater collections system is experiencing more
force main breaks than anticipated resulting in higher costs for repairs as well as for associated pump
station material removal and disposal costs.
Chemicals $394,000 - At the February 22, 2022, Board of County Commissioners meeting, Contract 21-
7921 for Countywide Chemicals, agenda item 16CI, was approved. Chemical pricing increases ranged
from 26% to 195%. Chemical unit cost increases exceeded forecasts built into the FY22 budget. Water
production and wastewater treatment volumes are not anticipated to vary significantly from budgeted
expectations.
Bulk Water - $150,000 - Increased water distribution system flushing is required to maintain potable
water quality in Goodland.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding will be reallocated from savings in other cost centers within CCWSD
Operating Fund (408) in the amount of $1,574,000.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issues and requires majority vote for approval. JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management impacts associated with
this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: To authorize budget amendments for the Collier County Water -Sewer District
to cover increased costs for electricity, emergency repairs/maintenance, chemicals, and bulk water in the
