Edgewater Wastewater Treatment Plant Master Plan
body
DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
SUMMARY:
Edgewater wastewater system serves a population of nearly 25,000 within the approximately 25 square mile service area. Raw wastewater is collected in approximately 100 miles of gravity sewers and pumped by 60 lift stations through 60 miles of force main to the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or Volusia County’s Beacon Light Road Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). Wastewater effluent is treated to public access reuse standards prior to distribution through nearly 40 miles of reclaimed water main to approximately 4,000 customers for landscape irrigation.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant Master Plan was undertaken with the following objectives:
• Provide an overview of the City’s existing wastewater treatment plant assets.
• Review the City’s wastewater service area and areas targeted for expansion.
• Establish a wastewater level of service based upon historical wastewater demand data.
• Project the number of future connections and wastewater flows within the service area.
• Develop recommendations for improvements to the wastewater treatment and collection systems to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and to accommodate new growth.
• Prepare conceptual opinions of probable construction cost for the recommended improvements.
• Prioritize recommended improvements into an implementation plan with triggers based upon growth in the number of new service connections.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant Master Plan was developed based upon information available through May 2025, including assumed growth rates and patterns.
