SUBJECT
title
Revision of Final Points of Connection for the Southeast Wellfield Project (Action)
body
DESCRIPTION
Section 12.1 of the July 21, 2022 Second Amended and Restated Implementation Agreement requires that the Points of Connection (POC’s) and the location of meters used for the delivery of Project Water to the Project Participants be identified by the Cooperative no later than January 1, 2023. The Cooperative, through consultation with the PRWC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and meetings with individual members, had identified POC’s for the Southeast Wellfield Project Participants which were approved during the January 2023 Board meeting. The determination of the POC’s considered a number of factors, including transmission system routing, location of existing/proposed member facilities, hydraulic capacity of member systems, and future service area growth for each member.
Since that time, updates to points of connection have been made. This agenda item presents the updated POC Map which includes the following changes:
• Relocation of Polk County’s NERUSA point of connection
• Omission of Lake Wales’s point of connection (as they are not a Phase 1 project participant)
• Relocation of Auburndale’s point of connection
RECOMMENDATION
Approve updated Points of Connection for the Southeast Transmission Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
