WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES WORK PLAN SUB-ELEMENT

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the Town of St. Leo Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) sub-element to the Public Services and Facilities Element of the Town of St. Leo Comprehensive Plan-2025, is to identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new development within its jurisdiction pursuant to Chapter 163.3177(4)(a) for a ten (10) year period and to comply with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) Regional Supply Plan (Regional Plan). The Town of St. Leo does not have a municipal water system. Residents of the Town obtain their water directly from one of three sources: private well, City of San Antonio or Pasco County. The Town is located within two (2) water service areas: Pasco County and City of San Antonio. The City of Dade City service area terminates along Happy Hill Road and Prospect Road; therefore, no service is currently or planned to be provided to the Town. Because issues related to water are not controlled by the Town, interlocal governmental cooperation is essential, especially relative to concurrency issues.

Saint Leo University and the Order of Saint Benedict Monastery (including the Abbey and Abbey golf course) are served by their own private well water system. The one exception is Saint Leo University's Plant Operations facility, which is served by the City of San Antonio. Twenty-one (21) residences and Town Hall are served by private wells.

The Town of St. Leo has an interlocal agreement with the City of San Antonio to provide water service, which currently serves Holy Name Monastery, Saint Leo University's Plant Operations and other facilities, 27 residences and 2 businesses within the Town. According to City staff there is no further plan to expand capacity or to expand water service to other Town of St. Leo residents or businesses.

Pasco County has an established level of service for water of 124 gpd per capita and the City of San Antonio has an LOS of 116 gpd per capita.

Pasco County has a reclaimed water line that runs along the north side of S.R. 52. This reclaimed water line has been extended into the University as part of a joint County, University and SWFWMD project. The reclaimed water line feeds into a pond located adjacent to the University tennis courts, and is tied into the University's irrigation system. This project was completed in 2013.

The Town of St. Leo Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) will reference in the policies initiatives already identified in the City of San Antonio and Pasco County Work Plans. It should be noted that the City of San Antonio has not adopted their Work Plan update. Pasco County has not adopted their 10 Year Work Plan update. According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and the comprehensive plan amendment must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year planning period. The Town's Work Plan will have the same 10-year planning time schedule as the City of San Antonio and Pasco County Work Plan. Since the Town does not provide water service, there are no capital improvements identified in the CIP.

The Public Services and Facilities Element and Work Plan Sub-element support analytical data and maps are contained in Appendix A. No capital improvements projects have been identified in the SWFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan for the Town of St. Leo.
