RE: Application #921204 -10; Request For Additional Information
Okeechobee Beach Water Association, Inc. (OBWA)
Okeechobee and Glades Counties
Dear Mr. Colios:
This correspondence is in response to the District's letter, dated
August 12, 1993 (copy attached) requesting additional information
to enable the District to address a request for service area
modification relative to the above referenced application. This
information is provided by Lindahl, Browning, Ferrari & Hellstrom,
Inc. on behalf of OBWA.
The additional information /response is provided in the same order
as the Request, as follows:
1. A revised service area map is enclosed which delineates the
new requested service area and the City of Okeechobee 201
Facilities Planning Area (201 Area) boundary; the new
requested service area includes the areas indicated as OBWA's
existing customer base plus those areas cutside the 201 Area
within the OBWA Service Area Boundary in Okeechobee County and
Glades County.
2. Enclosed are revised population projections for the new
requested service area and a water demand allocation based on
OBWA's existing customer base within the 201 Area and the
existing and projected demand within the remaining areas
outside the 201 Area in Okeechobee and Glades counties.

Methodology
The revised population projections were derived by OBWA based on
the existing number of water meters in the 201 Area, the existing
number of meters in the remaining service area and a projection of
growth in the non -201 Areas. A meter was assumed to represent a
typical household unit. A typical household unit was
conservatively assumed to represent 2.5 people. This persons per
household unit number is less than the County of Okeechobee
Comprehensive Plan projection of 2.67 persons per household in 1995
and 2.62 persons per household in 2000.
The current number of OBWA meters in the 201 Area is 2043 meters.
The current number of OBWA meters in the remaining Okeechobee and
Glades County service area is 1164. Total OBWA existing customer
base is represented by 3207 meters (household units). The current
equivalent population of the existing OBWA customer base was
therefore estimated to be equivalent to 8018 persons.
(2.5 persons /household)(3207 meters) = 8018 persons
Future demand projections were based on the historical water
consumption of 85 gpcd, which is the average of residential and
commercial use combined. Separate projections were made for
Okeechobee County and Glades County. No growth was assumed within
the 201 Area; only the existing customer base population in the 201
Area was carried forward each year up to the year 2005 end of the
projection period.
The increase in connections (meters) in Glades County was projected
at one percent (1 %) per year. In the areas outside the 201 Area in
Okeechobee County, the increase in connections (meters) was
projected at one percent (1 %) per year for 1994, 1995 and 1996 and,
at three percent (3 %) per year for the remaining projection period.
This assumed the new water treatment plant will allow an increase
in connections to the OBWA system starting in 1997.
Please contact LBF &H or OBWA should the District have any questions
or need more information. Thank you for you effort to insure this
matter is placed before the Governing Board in September.
