Agenda 05/09/2023 Item #16C 5 (B/A for the Water Division to redistribute existing Division Funds covering increased purchase of bulk water for operations)16.C.5
05/09/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a budget amendment for the Water Division in the amount of $279,500 to
redistribute existing Division funds to cover the costs associated with the increased purchase of bulk water to
fund continued operations in the Water Division Budget through the end of Fiscal Year 2023.
OBJECTIVE: To fund the purchase of bulk water provided by the Public Utilities Water Division to the
Goodland service area through the end of FY 2023.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Water -Sewer District purchases water from Marco Island Utilities,
which is then treated, and pressurized before it is pumped to customers in Goodland and Key Marco. The amount
of bulk water purchased has been greater than the amount budgeted for providing service to the customers of the
Goodland service area during FY 2023. Several factors have caused the increased demand for bulk water including
additional flushing required to maintain water quality, and repairs to water main breaks. Year to date 82,417,000
gallons of water have been purchased and it is anticipated that an additional amount of 61,044,000 gallons will be
purchased through the end of FY 2023 requiring additional funding. There is not enough funding in the budget to
obtain the water necessary without this budget amendment.
Funding for the additional purchase of bulk water is available within various Water Division cost centers including
the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant, North County Regional Water Treatment Plant, Power Systems,
and Water Distribution.
FISCAL IMPACT: The current budget for bulk water is $400,000, which is not sufficient to cover the costs of the
additional bulk water needed for operations. A budget amendment is required to reallocate funding, in the amount
of $279,500, from savings in various cost centers within the existing Fund (408) Collier County Water Division's
operating budget to offset the increase in bulk water expenses.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management impacts associated with this
Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues and
requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To authorize a budget amendment for the Water Division in the amount of $279,500 to
redistribute existing Division funds to cover the costs associated with the increased purchase of bulk water to fund
continued operations in the Water Division Budget through the end of Fiscal Year 2023.
