INTRODUCTION
Studies reveal that four of the five water management districts within the state of Florida will
fail to sufficiently support potable water demands over the next 20 years. In anticipation of
the rapid population growth, increasing water demands facing the state, and the potential
threats to both the economy and natural resources, the Legislature amended the Florida Water
Resources Act (Chapter 373, F.S.) in 1997. The amendments required the five water
management districts to initiate regional water supply planning in all areas of the state where
reasonably anticipated sources of water were deemed to be inadequate to meet projected year
2020 demands.
The water supply plans include a list of water source options, which will meet anticipated
demands while sustaining water resources and related natural systems. As of August 2001,
all the required regional water supply plans were completed and have since then been
updated.
The 2002 Legislature expanded the local government comprehensive plan requirements to
strengthen coordination of water supply planning and local land use planning. One of the
most significant requirements is a 10-year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. The work
plan must:
1. Project the local government's needs for at least a 10-year period;
2. Identify and prioritize the water supply facilities and source(s) of water that will be
needed to meet those needs; and
3. Include in the local government's Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements the
capital improvements identified as needed for the first five years, including
financially feasible revenue sources. A current five-year schedule must be
maintained.
The 2005 Legislature amended Chapters 163 and 373, F.S., to require local governments to
coordinate and cooperate with the Water Management District. The 2005 Legislature
emphasized the need for Water Facilities Work Plans to include:
1. A minimum 10-year period which describes the regional, public, and private facilities
within the service area;
2. Plans for alternative water supply, reuse, and conservation projects, which relieve the
burden on district water supply;
3. Local governments to design Future Land Use Plans based on the availability of
sufficient water supplies.
4. Intergovernmental coordination and concurrency;
5. Coordination between local governments and regional water suppliers.
With guidance provided by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), and in efforts to
coordinate with local governments and the St. Johns River Management District’s
(SJRWMD) District Water Supply Plan, the City of Cocoa prepared the initial work plan in
2003, and then updated the plan to ensure consistency and conformity with the SJRWMD

Plan updates adopted in February 2006. The following Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is
a 10 year plan that takes into account FY 2010 thru 2020.

WATER SUPPLY AND FACILITIES INFORMATION
A.
Geographic Area
The City of Cocoa water system is a regional system that is permitted to provide water to all
of Townships 23, 24, 25, and 26 in Brevard County. A map of the system’s service area is
included in Map “A”. The area presently served is generally bound to the south by the
Pineda Causeway (County Road 404), to the west by the Brevard County and
Orange/Osceola County boundary line, to the north by Kings Highway, and to the east by the
Atlantic Ocean. The total area served is approximately 268 square miles.
More specifically, Cocoa provides water to the following municipalities, communities,
jurisdictions, and major organizations:

Water Sources and Collection Facilities
Cocoa’s drinking water sources include the Floridan Aquifer, Intermediate Aquifer, Taylor
Creek Reservoir, and Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells. All of these facilities are
located in east Orange County.
Cocoa Well Field
Raw water comes from forty-eight (48) wells in the Cocoa well field: thirty-four (34)
wells drilled 400 to 600 feet into the Floridan Aquifer and fourteen (14) wells drilled
4
City of Cocoa Water Facilities Work Plan
into the Intermediate Aquifer. The well field can produce a maximum of 60 million
gallons per day (mgd) with all wells pumping simultaneously. Safe well field
management practices advise an operating rate that allows for well rotation to
alleviate stress on the aquifer and provide down time for well repair and maintenance.
Such management practices allow Cocoa to operate the well field safely at 31 mgd
for average flows and 48 mgd for maximum flows. The actual average annual flow
from the Cocoa well field in 2007 2008 was 21.007 21.74 mgd.
Cocoa Well Field – Floridan Aquifer
The Floridan Aquifer is one of the most productive sources of ground water in the
United States. Public-supply systems that draw water from the Aquifer include
Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Daytona Beach, St. Petersburg, and
Cocoa. In Brevard County, the Aquifer generally contains brackish water. For this
reason, Cocoa located its well field in east Orange County.
The Floridan aquifer is overlain by a low permeability aquitard called the Hawthorn
Formation. This unit is an extensive and effective confining unit in the eastern
portions of Orange County. The ground water withdrawn from the Floridan aquifer
by this well field comes from the upper zone of relatively permeable limestone,
known as the Upper Floridan aquifer. The most productive zone is typically found
between depths of 250 to 600 feet below land surface in this area with yields ranging
from about 200 gpm (0.29 mgd) to over 2,400 gpm (3.5mgd).
Information regarding the City’s Floridan Aquifer water sources, including the
specifications of all wells, is listed in Table VI-1, found on page 6. Historical flow
data is listed in Table VI-5 on page 9. The location of all wells are shown in Map
“B”.

Cocoa Well Field – Intermediate Aquifer
The Intermediate Aquifer is discontinuous throughout the Cocoa well field and where
present is typically found at a depth between 50 to 150 feet below land surface,
between the surficial aquifer and the Floridan aquifer. The production zone of this
aquifer in this well field is a shell layer of variable thickness and permeability
resulting in well yields ranging from 27 gallons per minute (gpm) to 740 gpm.
Information regarding the City’s Intermediate Aquifer water sources, including the
specifications of all wells, is listed in Table VI-2 on page 7. Historical flow data is
listed in Table VI-5 found on page 9. The location of all wells is shown in Map “B”.

Taylor Creek Reservoir – Surface Water
Taylor Creek is a tributary to the St. Johns River and is about 11 miles west of Cocoa
and 3 miles from the Claude H. Dyal Water Treatment Plant. A reservoir was created
to store water and a retaining structure is maintained by the SJRWMD in accordance
with an operating schedule approved by the US Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE).
Minimum flows and levels have been adopted for the reservoir downstream of
discharge structure, known as S-164. The Taylor Creek watershed annual runoff is
about 36 mgd and the reservoir has a capacity to store 5 billion gallons of freshwater.
The District permits Cocoa to withdraw an average of 8.83 mgd and a maximum of
12 mgd. The actual average annual flow from the reservoir in 2007 was 5.43 2008
was 7.58 mgd. Surface water from the reservoir is blended with the ground water
before distribution.
Information regarding the City’s surface water sources, including the specifications of
all pumps, are listed in Table VI-3 found on page 7. Historical flow data as noted in
Table VI-5 is found on page 9. The locations of all pumps are shown on Map “B”.

Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Wells
Cocoa’s ASR system consists of ten (10) wells, a control valve station, a backflow
preventer, and a computer. The ASR wells are located around the perimeter of the
Claude H. Dyal Water Treatment Plant. Treated water can be stored 300 feet
underground in the Floridan Aquifer during periods of low demand or recovered
during periods of high demand. Water from the ASR system can be pumped to the
head of the plant or to the ground storage tanks. The capacity of the existing ASR
system is 8 mgd. The ASR wells have a total storage capacity of 1 to 2 billion
gallons; with 864 million gallons currently stored.
Information regarding the City’s ASR system, including the specifications of all
wells, are listed in Table VI-4 on page 8. Historical flow data is listed in Table VI-5
found on page 9. All ten (10) ASR wells are currently located within the confines of
the Dyal Plant property, as depicted in Map “B”.

C. Treatment Facilities
Cocoa’s drinking water treatment facilities include the Wewahootee Water Treatment Plant
and the Claude H. Dyal Water Treatment Plant. All of these facilities are located in east
Orange County, which are shown in Map “B”.
Wewahootee Water Treatment Plant
The Wewahootee Water Treatment Plant includes 160 acres. Ground water is
pumped from the Cocoa well field to Wewahootee, where it is aerated to remove
hydrogen sulfide, and then chlorinated. Water is then pumped through approximately
nine miles of parallel 36-inch and 42-inch diameter transmission pipelines to the Dyal
Plant.
Claude H. Dyal Water Treatment Plant
The Claude H. Dyal Water Treatment Plant includes 62 acres and is located on the
south side of State Road 520 about five miles west of the St. Johns River. The plant
has a rated capacity of 48 mgd.
Cocoa completed an expansion of the Dyal Plant in November 1999 in order to
provide water intake and treatment facilities to collect and treat surface water from
the Taylor Creek Reservoir. The expansion was necessary because surface water
9
City of Cocoa Water Facilities Work Plan
requires a different treatment method than ground water. The intake and treatment
facilities are currently rated at 12 mgd and are upgradeable to 24 mgd.
The entire system delivers approximately 10 billion gallons of water each year with
peak flows in excess of 40 mgd during the summer. Average daily flow or demand
has increased from 22.46 mgd in 1990 to 26.44 25.45 mgd in 2007 2008.

Base, Port Canaveral, or City of Titusville.
** Canaveral Groves, Sharpes are also included within Cocoa Unincorporated.
E. Storage Facilities
Potable water is stored in the following four locations, which are shown in Map “C”:
•
•
•
•
A 5-million-gallon steel ground storage tank located at the Utilities Complex in Tate
Industrial Park in Cocoa.
Two concrete ground storage tanks providing 4 million gallons of storage are located
next to State Road 520 at the Banana River. The pumping station at this site is used
to boost pressure to the beaches and to maintain chlorine residuals.
A 2-million-gallon ground storage tank and pumping station is in Viera at Interstate
95 and Wickham Road. Ground storage tanks are used to meet peak demands during
the day.
A 1.5-million-gallon steel elevated tank located on U. S. Highway 1 north of State
Road 520. The elevated tank is used to maintain a constant pressure in the
distribution system.
F. Permit Conditions and Duration
Chapter 57-1232 of the Laws of Florida was signed into law by the Governor on June 29,
1957, authorizing the City of Cocoa to extend its water mains and water distribution system
beyond its limits and sell water through said system to private individuals or other uses for
profit. A copy of the legislation is attached as Exhibit “A.”
The City holds a Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) from the SJRWMD for its potable water
supply system that was issued on November 11, 2003. This permit (#50245) authorizes the
City to withdraw ground water from the Cocoa well field, and inject and withdraw water
from ASR wells in east Orange County. In 2008 Permit conditions entitled the City to
withdraw water at a maximum daily rate of 42.55 million gallons and a maximum annual rate
of 12.79 billion gallons from a series of wells in the Floridan and intermediate aquifers.
11
City of Cocoa Water Facilities Work Plan
The City’s CUP also allows for the withdrawal of water from the Taylor Creek Reservoir.
The permit authorizes the City to withdraw surface water at 12 million gallons per day when
levels at the Taylor Creek Reservoir are above 39’ NGVD and 6 million gallons per day
when levels are between 37’ and 39’ NGVD. A copy of this permit, including conditions, is
attached as Exhibit “C”.
G. Reclaimed Water System
There are ten (10) reclaimed water treatment systems other than Cocoa’s, which receive
wastewater flows within the Cocoa water service area. Three are municipal systems
providing reclaimed water exclusively within their corporate limits (Cities of Cape
Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Rockledge). Four are county systems providing reclaimed
water to the general areas of Merritt Island, Port St. John, Sharpes, and South Central
Brevard County. The last three systems are situated on U.S. Government property (Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station, Kennedy Space Center, and KSC Industrial Complex). Table
VI-9 on page 13 lists 2006 facility data, including wastewater treatment and reuse flows.
Cocoa operates an advanced water reclamation facility rated at a capacity of 4.5 mgd, which
was developed as a public access system. The system includes more than 45 miles of pipe
from 2 inches to 18 inches in diameter and more than 1,850 accounts. The reclaimed water
distribution system also includes two ground storage tanks with a capacity of 1.5 million
gallons each, a 5-mgd ground storage tank, a 5-mgd capacity pump station, and a 300,000gallon capacity elevated storage tank. Table VI-8, below, shows pipe sizes and the associated
length for the current City of Cocoa reuse system. Cocoa’s Reclaimed Water Distribution
System is shown in Map “D”.

VII. SUPPLY AND DEMAND ANALYSIS AND PROJECTIONS
Demand Analysis and Projections
Cocoa’s utility system has experienced steady growth. Since 2000, more than 15,000
accounts have been added to the system and the system provides wholesale water to the City
of Titusville. The City of Cocoa has recently teamed up with the Viera Company in an effort
to provide a greater supply and better water pressures within the boundaries of Viera. The
construction of a 42 inch water main which will carry water to Viera is currently underway
and should be completed late in 2009. Cocoa’s system growth and water use from 1990
through 2008 are shown in Table VI-6 on page 10.
Cocoa’s water system interconnects with the Melbourne water system through a 16-inch
main along Wickham Road near the southern extremity of the piping network and the
Titusville water system through a 16-inch main along U.S. Highway 1 at the northern
extremity of the network. Both emergency interconnects are metered.
Cocoa staff worked closely with Brevard County staff in the Planning and Zoning offices to
determine the future water needs. The flow projections were completed in 2008 as part of
the Water 2025 water supply planning process and are shown in Table VII-1 on page 18 and
Figure VII-1 on page19. Cocoa Staff has also mapped current and projected areas that will
have water service in 2023 (Map “E”).
System flow projections are based on a review of historical records and estimations of future
needs. Each major factor is discussed in detail below:
Population Growth
Population growth is projected using SJRWMD projections and Traffic Analysis
Zone (TAZ) data supplied by Brevard County staff in the Planning Office. The
Brevard County data is based on the TAZ data generated by the Brevard MPO.
Where needed; Cocoa’s service area was broken down into smaller sub-areas that
cumulatively correspond to full TAZ area boundaries.
A population adjustment was made for the South Mainland Area. The Viera
Company DRI suggests a greater population in this area than was anticipated in the
year 2000 TAZ analysis. The net difference in population of 19,060 was added to
Cocoa’s water service population projection.
In order to serve the South Mainland area and satisfy the proposed DRI submitted by
The Viera Company, construction of a 42” water main is currently underway. The
areas which will be served can be viewed on Map F.
14
City of Cocoa Water Facilities Work Plan
Projected population was obtained from the SJRWMD’s latest population projections
for the City of Cocoa and Brevard County service area. The maps these projections
are based on differ significantly from the TAZ maps used by the City and other local
governments, including the Brevard MPO and the ECFRPC.
While the analysis zones of the SJRWMD and MPO TAZ maps differed significantly,
the total population projection used by SJRWMD differs only slightly from the City
of Cocoa’s for (SJRWMD uses a five year population projection increment). The
SJRWMD projected a population of 241,080 within the City of Cocoa service area.
The City of Cocoa projected a service area of 247,118, less than 1% difference from
SJRWMD projections. To maintain consistency with the District’s WSP and because
the percent difference is not considered significant, the City will utilize the District’s
population estimate for this Plan.
A straight-line population growth rate was assumed from 2008 to 2018 2010 to 2020.
The projections are shown in Table VII-1 found on page 19.
The City will confer with the County and municipalities it serves annually to
determine if there has been any unanticipated development activity, such as an
application for a Development of Regional Impact submitted which could
significantly alter projections. Those projections will be adjusted accordingly, and
the supply calculations will be reexamined for sufficiency.
Customer Accounts
The estimated growth in customer accounts is based on the population served in 2000
divided by the number of accounts in 2000. The result is 2.79 persons per account.
The projected number of customer accounts from 2010 to 2020 was calculated by
dividing the TAZ population projections by 2.79. Cocoa’s water service area is not
limited to the City of Cocoa only. Per capita use of potable water for the City of
Cocoa differs from per capita use of Cocoa’s water service franchise area.
Per Capita Flow
Cocoa’s water billing database does not allow differentiation of residential
(household) uses and commercial uses. This level of analysis is not possible because
only single-family residential units are coded as residential. Multi-family accounts
are coded as commercial accounts. For the purposes of historical uses and flow
projections, per capita use is based on combined household and commercial uses less
wholesale water sales to Titusville, Port Canaveral, and the U. S. Government
facilities at Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and Patrick Air
Force Base.
The logic for this analysis is that increasing population requires additional household
use and additional retail and commercial support uses. An analysis of per capita
residential/commercial (r/c) flows for the period from 1990 to 1999 is based on actual
15
City of Cocoa Water Facilities Work Plan
flows and estimated population. The combined r/c flow rates range from 118 gpd to
139 gpd with a 10-year average of 129.1 gpd per person.
Based on historical annual rainfall totals, the City has determined that 1990
represented a dry year (1: in 10 year drought). SJRWMD Water Supply Management
staff has determined that 1995 represented an average rainfall year (SJRWMD’s
Water Supply Assessment — 1998). Observed per capita flows for these years (139
gpd dry, 130-gpd average) were used to project future r/c flow needs for dry and
average rainfall years. Obviously, rainfall distribution throughout the year plays a
major part in overall water use and greater than 1:10 year drought occurrences will
result in annual water demands greater than projected dry year demands. Abnormal
rainfall distributions can result in higher than expected peak use, even during years
that receive a normal annual amount of rainfall.
Projected Wholesale Water Use
Cocoa’s largest wholesale water customer is the U.S. Government. The U.S.
Government contract with Cocoa is for a combined annual average daily flow (aadf)
of 5 mgd at three installations: Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station, and Patrick Air Force Base. The historical flows range from 3.13 mgd to
4.23 mgd. The average of this range, 3.7 mgd, was chosen to represent the flow
during an average rainfall year. The maximum contract amount of 5 mgd was chosen
to represent U. S. Government flow during a dry year.
Cocoa also has an interlocal agreement for a system interconnect with the City of
Titusville, which has been amended to supply up to 1.5 mgd aadf. Through this
agreement, Titusville is also committed to purchase at least 0.5 mgd during each
monthly billing period. Current flows average slightly over 0.5 mgd. Therefore, 0.5
mgd was chosen to represent flows during an average rainfall year and the maximum
contract amount of 1.5 mgd was used for future dry year flows.
Another major wholesale water customer is Port Canaveral. Large quantities of water
are supplied through the Port to cruise ships. Significant growth in this sector is
projected as Port Canaveral grows as a cruise destination for the Central Florida
tourist market. The construction of new cruise terminals is being planned to meet this
demand.
The City also has supply agreements with the City of Cocoa Beach, Rockledge, and
Cape Canaveral. The City of Cocoa has been supplying the City of Cocoa Beach with
water service since 1957. The most recent water franchise agreement with the City of
Cocoa Beach took affect in 1988 and expires in 2018. Cocoa’s franchise agreement
with Rockledge was signed in 1994 and will expire in 2024. Cocoa and Cape
Canaveral entered into a water franchise agreement in 1964. In 1994 Cocoa entered
into another water franchise agreement with The City of Cape Canaveral which
expires in 2024.
16
City of Cocoa Water Facilities Work Plan
Projected population and water demands are accounted for by using historical
population values to predict what future growth may look like. Population for the
City’s franchise area are predicted using account data, TAZ data, and census data.
Please see the Population Growth section of this document for further explanation.
Cocoa is coordinating with municipalities and wholesale water customers within the
franchise area is of the utmost importance and has reached out to representatives from
all areas within the franchise area to attend and provide input to all Utilities Advisory
Board Meetings.
Maximum daily flows were projected based on historical peaking factors observed.
In general, peaking factors are larger during dry years and are less pronounced during
average rainfall years. The peaking factor used for projections is 1.50.

Supply Analysis
Cocoa’s supply relies on a blend of surface water, ground water, and stored water in its
Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) system. Presently, ground water supplies the majority
of water and will continue to be Cocoa’s primary supply during times of drought. It is
projected that the Floridan and Intermediate Aquifers will supply about 23.5 mgd in 2008
2009 and 35 mgd in 2025. However, surface water supplies will be relied upon more heavily
24
and will make up a larger portion of the total system demand as the system grows. It is
projected that the Taylor Creek Reservoir will supply 7.58 7.67 mgd in 2008 2009 (Table
VII-3 on page 30).
Conservation
Cocoa has aggressively pursued water conservation and reclaimed water use to
minimize potable water use.
Due to numerous factors such as the implementation of reclaimed water, development
of alternative water sources, aggressive conservation program, and increasing tiered
rate structures, per capita use rate for the entire water franchise area is a relatively low
amount of 122 gallons per day (2007 data).
The City has implemented or accomplished the following conservation measures:
• Enforcing SJRWMD’s permanent water conservation rule and water shortage
orders;
• Providing daily water conservation public service announcements on
television; providing videos/DVD’s to local schools and community
organizations; maintaining a landscape demonstration project within the City;
providing water conservation exhibits; public education at public events;
distributing water conservation information to customers via newsletter,
billings, and newspaper; and providing hundreds of low-flow plumbing
fixtures annually to retro-fit older residential and commercial buildings;
• Implementing an inclining conservation based rate structure;
• Creating annual reports in response to accounts with high potable water usage;
• Sending letters and irrigation guidelines to customers;
• Instituted a very aggressive reuse program. Reclaim signs are placed in
customer’s windows and or lawns that indicate that reclaim water is being
used and should not be used for anything other than irrigation. Purple reclaim
meter box tops are used to indicate that people are making a difference. If
reclaim water is available to customers with high potable water consumption
levels (City of Cocoa), a letter is sent advising them that reclaimed water is
available. Customers not residing within the City of Cocoa and consuming
high levels of potable water are sent letters explaining irrigation guidelines
along with phone numbers for their local reclamation department.
• As this report is updated to comply with SJRWMD 2005 updates, an updated
copy of this report will be sent to each city so they can use it as a tool for
additional reclaim lines;
• As of 2002, meters have been installed on all properties which utilize reclaim
water.
• Developers are required to install reclaim pipes and meters in all new
development;
• City inspectors are required to confirm that all new residential and
commercial establishments have their own meter and service line.
25
In addition to the above-mentioned practices, the city is also committed to implementing
the following conservation practices:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Operate a modern maintenance and test shop to perform field calibrations and
repairs on all sizes of meters.
Implement meter modernization and change out program.
Conduct landscape irrigation audits.
Maintain water audit customer assistance program.
Employ full-time water conservation/public relations officer, as the budget
permits.
Employ full-time reuse coordinator, as the budget permits.
Implement irrigation conservation ordinance.
Provide flapless toilets to multi-family customers at cost.
Maintain mobile irrigation lab.
Maintain water main replacement program.
Maintain toilet rebate program.
Ensure that all service connections are metered.
Use native vegetation that requires little supplemental irrigation for
landscaping within the service area, when feasible.
Offer to present conservation presentations to school classes through use of a
mobile irrigation lab to, especially in high irrigation areas such as south
Merritt Island.
Maintain the Showerhead exchange program, which also includes educating
the public about in-home water conservation practices, a complimentary toilet
flap, and a complimentary 1.5 gpm sink aerator.
Research low impact development techniques and programs such as Florida
Water Star.
The city is also committed to implementing the following reuse practices:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Require customers connecting to the reuse system to discontinue irrigation
with potable water.
Maintain tiered rate structure for reclaimed water.
Submit the annual FDEP reuse report to the District within 30 days of its
submittal to FDEP.
The lowest quality water source, including reclaimed water and surface/storm
water, will be used for each consumptive use supplied by the City when
available except when the City demonstrates that the use of the lower quality
water source is not economically, environmentally, or technologically
feasible.
Require the connection of new development or substantial redevelopment to a
reuse system, to supply uses that do not require potable water.
Require new development which does not currently have access to reclaim
water but will in the next five (5) years to install dry lines
Require installation of meters for individual connections to the reuse system.
26
These factors have combined to reduce Cocoa’s total ground water withdraws
from the Floridan and Intermediate Aquifer Systems and surface water from
Taylor Creek Reservoir to a average of 26.43 25.45 mgd in 2007 2008, or 6.85
8.25 mgd less than its 2007 allocation. These flows are shown in Table VI-5 on
page 9
Water Supply Strategy
The City’s current water supply plan proposes a partnership with Orange County
Utilities (OCU) to produce at least 10 mgd of potable water on an average day from
the City’s water supply system. This water would be used within the OCU service
area or other areas of Orange County. If feasible options are identified, the City will
formulate a plan for review by and approval of the St. Johns River Water
Management District (District). If no option can be jointly selected by the City and
OCU, the City will provide to the District an explanation of the reasons why no
option was selected.
In anticipation of an agreement being finalized with OCU or some other similar
potable water supplier, the City will adopt a comprehensive plan policy which
expressly enables the City to approve wholesale water agreements with other potable
water suppliers like OCU.
The District has been conducting District-wide water supply planning since 1994. In
1998, the District identified the East Central Florida Region as a “priority water
resource caution area”. The East Central Florida Regional Water Supply Planning
Initiative Group (Group) has been meeting since 2003 to explore options for
cooperatively supplying future drinking water demands in the Region. In addition, as
part of the City’s overall alternative water supply planning strategy, the City is
currently negotiating an interlocal agreement with the City of Rockledge to construct,
operate, and maintain a twelve (12) inch diameter reclaimed water system
interconnect and meter station along Highway U.S. 1. Under the proposed agreement,
the cities of Cocoa and Rockledge will provide each other surplus reclaimed water on
an as-needed basis. The City anticipates that the draft interlocal agreement will be
finalized and approved in 2010. In anticipation of the agreement being finalized, the
City will adopt a comprehensive plan policy which expressly enables the City to
approve reclaimed water agreements with other government agencies.
The Initiative Group consists of:
•
•
•
two Water Management Districts (St. Johns River and South Florida);
six Suppliers (City of Cocoa, City of Titusville, Orange County, Orlando
Utilities Commission, Tohopekaliga Water Authority, and East Central
Florida Services, Inc., a.k.a., Deseret Ranch); and
nine ex officio participants (Brevard County, Lake County, Reedy Creek
Improvement District, and the Cities of Melbourne, Clermont, Groveland,
Mascotte, Minneola, and Orlando).
27
The Group identified potential surface water supply sources and ranked them
according to the estimated unit production cost. The least costly option is the St.
Johns River/Taylor Creek Reservoir (SJR/TCR) Project. The Group determined that
a Preliminary Design Report—Environmental Information Document (PDR—EID)
will be necessary to understand the choices and trade-offs of various alternatives for
facilities needed to withdraw, transport, treat, store, and distribute water drawn from
SJR/TCR.
In order to contract for a PDR—EID, the Group identified the need for a
Memorandum of Agreement between the Districts and Suppliers. The term of the
Agreement is five years. The Group asked Cocoa to be the lead agent to contract
with a consulting engineer who will prepare the PDR—EID.
Cocoa is also participating in the Cocoa/Rockledge Interconnect, which is another
project identified by the District’s Water Supply Plan 2005. Utility staff is currently
in the process of working with the city attorney to complete the agreement.
There is also a possibility that additional water supply will be made available from
the Floridan Aquifer through mitigation or avoidance of environmental impacts. In
order to offset any impacts, Cocoa is proposing to participate with other Central
Florida utilities in avoidance or mitigation measures in a pro rata share based on the
amount of impact as compared to those impacts caused by increased Floridan Aquifer
demands by other utilities. It is recognized that water quality impacts to the Cocoa
well field are a concern in the development of other ground water withdrawals in the
vicinity of Cocoa’s wells. Cocoa will cooperate in studies necessary to protect water
quality in its well field while allowing an increase of groundwater use in the region.
Table VII-1 on page 18 and Table VII-3 on page 30 list all projected flows and
proposed supply sources through 2018 2020. In 2018 2020, the City is projecting an
average demand of 35.13 mgd with an average supply of 38.11 mgd. Maximum
flows of 58.08 mgd are projected for both supply and demand in 2018 2020. The
conservation measures described on pages 25-26 reduced the per capita demand and
the continued increase in the use of surface water from the Taylor Creek Reservoir
will supplement the groundwater supply, as demonstrated in Figure VII-3 on page 30.
The City recognizes the serious shortfall of groundwater to supply future water
demand, and will continue to participate in the implementation phase of the District’s
East Central Florida Water Supply Planning Initiative. The City will participate to
find regional solutions for potential water supply problems, including the
development of alternative water sources to supplement the groundwater supply.
Currently, the City is using, and plans to increase the development and use of,
alternative water sources to supplement the groundwater supply. By 2023, the City
plans to withdraw an average of 8.49 mgd from the Taylor Creek Reservoir, an
increase of 3.21 mgd from 2007. Through further improvements to the reclaimed
28
water system and ASR technology, the City plans to make 100% use of these sources
a realistic goal.
The City will also continue utilizing water source protection practices. Surface water
used by the City comes from an isolated area with regulations on recreational traffic.
The surface water intake structure is located about 25 feet below the water surface.
The City is also committed to aquifer and wellhead protection and holds a continuing
services contract with Nodarse and Associates should there ever be a chemical mishap.
Water quality and quantity monitoring wells have also been established by the USGS
for Cocoa’s water sources. Pumping stations and wellheads are gated and secured with
locking systems and all City water sources are monitored using SCADA systems.

VIII. FACILITY ANALYSIS
A. Ten-Year Work Plan
The City of Cocoa has developed a sophisticated integrated water supply system consisting
of supply and demand side elements. The combination of alternative water sources such as
the Taylor Creek Reservoir, reclaimed water, and ASR technology will shift demand away
from groundwater supplies while conservation measures like increased block rate structures,
more efficient technology, education, and enforcement should lower usage. This integrated
approach will provide water customers in Central Brevard County with a reliable system at a
reasonable cost.
The Claude H. Dyal Water Treatment Plant has a maximum capacity of 48 mgd and the
Taylor Creek treatment expansion has as maximum capacity of 12 mgd to serve demands
well past 2018 2020 with additional capacity upgrades to transmission, distribution, and
storage facilities occurring during the next 10 years. With a total processing capacity at 60
mgd, the City will be able to serve beyond 2018 2020.
Every five (5) years in conjunction with the preparation of CUP compliance reports in order
to verify that the water sources and facilities are capable of supplying the needs of Cocoa, or
within 18 months of any changes to the District’s Water Supply Plan, the City will update its
Work Plan. The City also plans to maintain a ten (10) year work planning period for the
purposes of the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.
B. Schedule of Capital Improvements (Utilities Projects)
In order to provide sufficient facility capacity, the City has established a 10 year Schedule of
Capital Improvements, which is attached as Exhibit “E D”. The improvements will enable
the City to accommodate projected flows from existing sources, including a capacity increase
of the Taylor Creek Reservoir surface water treatment facility at the Dyal Plant to handle
additional demand beyond 2023. This project is also a major factor in the City’s
development of alternative water supply sources. Please see Exhibit “E D” which provides a
dateline for proposed capital improvements. Of the proposed capital projects in the City’s
Capital Improvements Plan (Exhibit “E D”), division 4110, 4115, 4020, 4025 will increase
the City’s treatment, distribution, and transmission capacity of potable water. Divisions 4015
and 4120 will increase the City’s treatment, distribution, and transmission capacity of nonpotable water. The City is also involved in the Saint Johns River/Taylor Creek Reservoir
(SJR?TCR) Project which is an Alternative Water Supply (AWS) project. An updated
SRU/TCR Project is provided in the Water Supply Strategy section (page 27) of this plan.
Exhibit “E” is the City’s adopted Capital Improvements Schedule adopted by the City
Council in June 2009.
33
IX.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ELEMENTS
After assessing the current Comprehensive Plan, the City feels that amendments are
necessary in order to implement the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan as amended. Below
is an analysis of the pertinent elements of the Comprehensive Plan, with proposed
amendments thereto:
A. Capital Improvements
The City shall, on an annual basis, amend its Capital Improvements Element (CIE) to reflect
any changes to its water treatment and distribution system needed to maintain the adopted
level of service for all residents and customers.
Within five Years, the City shall commence improvements to the Dyal Water treatment plant
to increase the surface water treatment element of the plant from 12 mgd to 24 mgd.
Within 10 years, the City will construct 17,000 feet of new water distribution lines to
accommodate future demand by new customers within its service area.
B. Intergovernmental Coordination
Policies in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element were revised in 2003 will be revised
to establish a relationship between the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and:
• the St. John’s River Water Management District (SJRWMD) Water Supply Plan
(SJRWMD 2005);
• the water supply assessments, the Consumptive Use Permit process;
• the East Central Florida Water Supply Planning Initiative;
• the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC) Regional Plan; and
• the other local governments’ comprehensive plans throughout Cocoa’s water service
area.
As a result of further legislative changes to the Statutes regulating this plan, additional
policies are being added to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to address the
following:
•
•
•
•
Supply and demand projections will be consistent with the abovementioned plans,
assessments, and processes.
The City will continue to actively participate in water supply planning work groups
and meetings on an as-needed basis.
Within 18 months of any changes to the above reference plan by the SJRWMD, the
City shall evaluate its adopted Water Supply Management Plan for updates necessary
to keep it consistent with the St. John’s plan.
The City will participate in the development of updates to SJRWMD’s water supply
assessment and District Water Supply Plan and other water supply developmentrelated initiatives facilitated by SJRWMD that affect the City.
34
•
•
•
The City is committed to ensure coordination of the City’s Comprehensive Plan with
SJRWMD’s plans.
The City will amend it Comprehensive Plan to incorporate this Work Plan into it by
reference as Data and Analysis.
The City will amend its Comprehensive Plan to enable the City to implement the
following
C. Public Facilities Elements
The most recent minimum level of service (LOS) standards for wastewater were effective on
July 1, 2008 and have been verified to be up-to-date and effective dating back to July 15,
2005. Those LOS standards are as follows:
DEVELOPMENT TYPE
Industrial
LOS STANDARD
5000 gallons per day per acre .02 gallons per
sq. ft. per day
15 gallons per capita per day
300 319 gallons per day per household
15 gallons per capita per day
100 gallons per day per room
50 gallons per day per seat
20 gallons per day per seat
Office Space
Residential
Schools
Hotel Motel
Restaurant
Bar Lounge
Potable water minimum LOS standards were also updated to reflect a 40-50-60 p.s.i. peak
hour pressure.
Potable Water Sub-Element
Two additional objectives and associated policies are being added to the Potable
Water Sub-Element to address the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.
The first objectives and policies are being added to this element which requires the
City to maintain a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan that covers a minimum ten-year
planning period. The associated policies requires continuous updates to the Water
Facilities Work Plan, including consistency with LOS standards and State and
regional plans, a plan to seek alternative sources of water, demand projections, a
capital improvements schedule, and the provision of facilities to withdraw, transmit,
treat, store and distribute potable water. The first objective also contains a policy
mandating that the City shall maintain a five year “cost feasible” Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP), and shall update the CIE annually to ensure compatibility
and consistency between the CIP and CIE.
The These second objectives and policies also requires the City to identify and use
water supply sources that are consistent with the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.
The associated policies will direct the City to develop feasible water sources and
avoid adverse impacts to the environment. The policies will also require the City to
maximize the use of alternative water supplies and implement management
techniques in order to sustain water resources, and enhance existing supplies.
35
D. Conservation
The background document of the Conservation Element will be revised to update the
projected water demands and sources identified in the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan.
Groundwater Sub-Element
The City feels the Groundwater Sub-element already addresses the requirements of the Water
Supply Facilities Work Plan. The objective of the Groundwater Sub-Element is to reduce per
capita consumption of fresh groundwater by its residents through conservation and reuse of
existing water supplies, and through the establishment and use of non-potable supplies such
as reclaimed water.

City of Cocoa
Capital Improvement Schedule
FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14
INTRODUCTION
Section 163.3177(3)(b)(1), F.S., states that the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive
Plan must be reviewed on an annual basis and modified as necessary to maintain the Capital
Improvements Schedule financially feasible. The City has been updating the 5-year Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) annually since the comprehensive plan was adopted in 2000;
however, they have not been submitted to the State.
The City recently completed the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) of the comprehensive plan
and discovered that the current City of Cocoa Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in
December 2000, only includes Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs). The Data and Analysis
Section has not been updated since 1988. The City did, however, prepare a capacity availability study
in 2006 to aid the City in determining availability and adequacy of public services and facilities. That
report summarized the impact that development had had on the provision of public services and
facilities such as roads, public transit, wastewater, potable water, solid waste, parks, stormwater, and
schools, and evaluated the capacity available for future growth. As part of the EAR-based
amendments, the City will be conducting a total rewrite of the Data and Analysis Section for all
elements, including the Capital Improvements Element.
The purpose of this report is to update the City’s capital improvements schedule to meet the
statutory deadline of December 2008. Given the lack of background data and analysis, the report is
based mostly on past CIPs, the adopted GOPs, the 2006 capacity availability report mentioned
above, and information gathered as part of the preparation of the EAR. This report contains a
Levels of Service (LOS) analysis of the public facilities and services provided by the City, including
transportation, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, recreation/open space and public
school facilities; revenue source projections; the 5-year capital improvement schedule for FY 200910 to 2013-14; and a description of all the projects included in the schedule.

REVENUE PROJECTIONS
The City of Cocoa has used numerous sources to fund capital projects in the past. The City has
employed the methods listed in the Capital Improvement Element in addition to its standard annual
budgeting procedures to allocate funds for specific purposes. An overview of the various funding
sources that may be used for capital projects funding is presented below.
Local Revenues
Local revenue resources are those which the City of Cocoa may levy, collect and disburse at
the local level. The local revenue resources include:
•
Ad Valorem Taxes (Property taxes). Ad valorem taxes include revenue from
non-exempt property taxation.
•
Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds. This fund receives revenue from the
connections (impact) fees and monthly charges. The fund accounts for the
acquisition, operation and maintenance of the city-owned water and sewer
system.
•
Interest Income. Interest income is revenue earned on funds that have been
invested by the City.
•
Impact Fees. These fees are charged concurrent with new development and
contribute towards payment for infrastructure needs, but not operational costs,
which directly result from new development.
•
Utilities Service Tax Fund. This revenue source is authorized by statute and
levied by the City on consumers residing within the City limits and collected by
various utility companies. Utility taxes are assessed on the users of electric, gas,
propane and telephone.
•
Special Assessments. Special assessments are levied against residents, agencies or
districts that directly benefit from the new service or facility.
•
Other Fees, Charges and Investment Income. This includes charges for services,
fines and forfeitures, investment income, and other miscellaneous income.
•
Licenses, Permits and Fines. All businesses operating in the City pay a Business
Service Tax. Building permits are required for all construction. The City receives
a portion of all traffic citations issued in the City from Brevard County.
•
Redevelopment Agency Fund. This revenue source accounts for incremental tax
revenue within a specific geographical area of the City.
State Revenues
State Revenue sources are those funds which are generated locally, but collected and later
returned by state agencies to the City.
•
Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT). Brevard County provides the City with a
portion of the gas tax which the County levies on gas consumption. The
percentage is based on the City’s population and can be used only for
transportation related improvements.
Land Design Innovations, Inc.
Page 2
City Of Cocoa Capital Improvements Schedule
•
Intergovernmental Revenue. Intergovernmental revenues are funds collected by
the State or County and shared with other local government units. Major sources
of shared revenue include the cigarette tax, State revenue sharing, beverage
licenses, mobile home licenses, motor fuels tax, half-cent sales tax and
occupational licenses.
Federal Shared Revenues
This revenue source is limited to grants for specific projects and uses such as Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG).
Tables 1 to 7 include the revenue projections as identified in the City’s Capital Improvement
Program for FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14, adopted on April 8, 2008.

LEVELS OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
Needed capital improvements are those that are necessary to meet the adopted level of service
standards (LOS) identified in other Elements of the comprehensive plan. The City of Cocoa public
facilities that require identification and funding include: police, fire, potable water, solid waste, sewer
collection and disposal, storm water management, parks and recreation, public schools and
roadways. The City has adopted level of service standards for each service, except for police and fire
services. The following is an LOS analysis of these public facilities.
Transportation
The City’s 2000 Transportation Element lists 18 major roadways with adopted levels of
service. Interstate 95 and U.S. Highway 1 are the two major arterials that run north/south
and are located near or within the Cocoa City limits. These highways connect Cocoa to the
entire eastern seaboard from its southernmost point in Key West all the way to Maine.
Furthermore, State Roads (SR) 520, 524 and 528 are the major east/west roadways that
travel directly through the City of Cocoa and link it to the Atlantic Ocean beaches and the
Orlando Metropolitan Area.
Cocoa is located in close proximity to the Orlando International Airport. The airport is
located on the east side of Orlando directly off the Beachline Expressway (SR 528) with a
typical traveling time of about 45 minutes from Cocoa. Other nearby transportation options
include: Port Canaveral, the Melbourne International Airport and the Florida East Coast
Railway.
Policy 2.1.1 of the City of Cocoa Transportation Element established the adopted levels of
service (LOS) standards for roadways within the City (see Table 8). The Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) has set LOS "D" as the acceptable level of service for state
freeways and principal arterials. As shown in Table 8, the City adopted a higher level of
service (“C”) for I-95 and a lower LOS (E) for Fiske Boulevard south of SR 520. Brevard
County has set an LOS of "E" for County maintained arterial and collector roadways. Table
8 shows that the City adopted an LOS “E” for all County and local roads.

Table 9 shows the remaining capacity in Average Daily Trips (ADT) for all the roads
serving the City. Interstate 95 is the only roadway currently operating below the adopted
level of service.
As part of the Brevard County MPO’s FY 2009-2013 Transportation Improvement Program
for the Brevard Urban Area, adopted on July 10, 2008, Interstate 95 from South of SR 519
(Fiske Blvd.) to North of SR 528 is scheduled to be widened from four (4) lanes to six (6)
lanes in FY 2009-10 (FDOT FM Number 4055065). This project will cumulatively increase
the capacity for each segment of the roadway to 81,000 average annual daily trips.
The City of Cocoa also has a concern for the declining LOS of SR 524 from I-95 to Clear
Lake/Michigan Avenue. The City has initiated a Transportation Concurrency Management
study to identify alternate concurrency management options to address anticipated future
development demand and declining LOS along SR 524.

City Of Cocoa Capital Improvements Schedule
The Brevard County Space Coast Area Transit (SCAT) system provides public
transportation to the City of Cocoa as well as Brevard County as a whole. Service
within the City is provided along two routes, Route 4 and Route 6. Route 4 carries
residents out of the City east towards Cocoa Beach to shopping and employment
destinations. Route 6 circulates internally throughout the City.
SCAT establishes its own level of service standards. LOS standards for SCAT routes
range from “A” for greater than six buses per hour to “F” for less than one bus per
hour. Table 10 shows the ridership volumes for the six month period between
October 1, 2007 and March 30, 2008. Currently, the City does not have an adopted
level of service for public transit services. However, based on the current design
capacity, adequate capacity exists within Cocoa routes.

Wastewater (Sanitary Sewer)
The City of Cocoa operates and maintains one wastewater treatment facility, the Jerry Sellers
Wastewater Reclamation Facility. During heavy use periods Bracco Reservoir provides a
secondary source of reclaimed water. Additionally, there are 22 supplemental reclaimed
water supply wells from which water can be attained during peak periods of usage. The Jerry
Seller Wastewater Reclamation Facility has a capacity of 4.5 million gallons per day (MGD) .
Approximately 2.25 MGD of that capacity had been used by 2007, leaving a capacity of 2.25
MGD for future use. Improvements for the expansion of the wastewater reclamation facility
are scheduled for FY 12-13 and FY 13-14, which will increase the wastewater reclamation
facility’s capacity to 7 MGD. At 250 gpd per Equivalent Residential Connection (ERC), the
City will have adequate capacity through the planning horizon.
Solid Waste
Curbside collection of solid waste, bulk trash, green waste, bulk green waste, recyclables,
commercial dumpsters and roll-off service is provided to all residents and businesses in the
City of Cocoa. The provision of solid waste service is provided by a private solid waste
contractor for garbage collection services. The company has a fleet of seventy (70) trucks of
which thirteen (13) are designated for the City of Cocoa. The City’s population, growth and
route service time determine the number of trucks dedicated to the City. The level-ofservice for non-residential collection is two (2) to six (6) times per week as needed per
location. Residential service is established at twice a week per household.
Processing and disposal of solid waste occurs at the Brevard County Central Disposal
Facility (Cocoa Landfill). This is a Class 1 facility that receives 1,500 tons of solid waste per
day. The City’s adopted level of service for disposal is 1.2 tons per capita per year. Brevard
Land Design Innovations, Inc.

City Of Cocoa Capital Improvements Schedule
County projects capacity at the Cocoa Landfill through the year 2030. In addition, plans
have been made to add approximately 180 acres to the landfill.
Drainage
The City maintains the adopted LOS standards for stormwater by requiring all development
to be consistent with the St. Johns River Water Management District’s requirements at the
time of issuance of building permits.
Potable Water
The City of Cocoa provides potable water to its own residents as well as an estimated
175,000 residents of Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Patrick Air Force Base, Rockledge, and a
large portion of unincorporated central Brevard County. Service is measured on a systemwide basis. Potable Water LOS is monitored by the availability of treatment plant capacity,
measured in million gallons per day (MGD). As of August 2007, there was a system-wide
capacity of 48 MGD. Approximately 26.43 MGD of that capacity had been used by 2007,
leaving a capacity of 21.57 MGD for future use.
Properties within the City’s franchise area are eligible for connection to the potable water
system on a first-come first-served basis. The City does not have a formal capacity
reservation system; however, once a development project files a FDEP permit, capacity for
the project is set aside. Surplus capacity is expected through FY 2020. The adopted LOS for
Potable Water is 265 gallons per day (GPD) per equivalent residential connection (ERC) for
average flow. The Peak Daily Flow is 398 GPD per ERC 1.

Recreation/Open Space
The City’s Public Works Department provides and maintains recreation facilities, including
active and passive recreation sites for all City residents. The City currently has an adopted
level of service (LOS) standard of 1.25 acres of developed recreational area per 1,000

The City of Cocoa is at this time working on amending the adopted interlocal agreement for
public schools facility planning and school concurrency (as required by Sections 163.3177
and 1013.33 F.S). The interlocal agreement is between Brevard County, the School Board of
Brevard County, and the Commission or Council of the cities or towns of Cape Canaveral,
Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Indialantic, Indian Harbour Beach, Malabar, Melbourne, Melbourne
Beach, Palm Bay, Palm Shores, Rockledge, Satellite Beach, Titusville and West Melbourne.
Based on this interlocal agreement, the City of Cocoa will amend the Comprehensive Plan to
impose school concurrency as required by section 163.3180(13), Florida Statutes.
The City of Cocoa is also at this time working on its Public School Facilities Element
(PSFE) mandated by the legislation enacted by the 2005 Florida Legislature. The City
transmitted the PSFE and the adopted interlocal agreement to the State for review in March
2008. The City received the Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) report on
May 16th, 2008. The City and the School Board, along with the other local governments, are
currently drafting responses to the ORC report. The City of Cocoa has a deadline of 2008 to
adopt the required element into its Plan.
