REUSE POLICY
Page 1 of 3
Effective Date - Thirty (30) days after Board's approval of the policy, for all developments that
have not met the filing requirements of the County's Zoning Department,which requires each new
development to be reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC), or for those
developments not requiring DRC approval,which have been quoted charges to connect to the Clay
County Utility Authority's(CCUA)water and/or wastewater systems within twelve months prior to
the effective date of the reuse policy. A filing for a DRC meeting, which is incomplete as of the
effective date of this policy, shall not be considered as filed timely for the prior policy to apply.
If the developer has not commenced substantial construction on his project,which was filed
with DRC prior to the effective date of this policy,within fifteen months after the effective date of
the policy, then said development shall come under the provisions of this policy.
Applicability - This policy will be applicable to all developments that file for a Development
Review Committee review after the effective date of this policy. This shall include:
A. Developments occurring under Development of Regional Impact(DRI)agreements
which may not be technically required to install residential reuse, but who choose to do so in
settlement of minor and/or major modifications to the structure and composition of developments
within the DRI. These shall be regulated and charged under this proposed policy and effective date
criteria the same as all other developments.
B. Exceptions to the applicability of this policy and/or effective date are as follows:
1. Developments occurring under DRI agreements or Florida Quality
Development(FQD) agreements,which are not required by said agreement
to install residential reuse and who do not volunteer to provide residential
reuse piping systems.
2. Developments which, as of the date of enactment of this policy, own and
maintain their own reuse pumping plant and purchase bulk service from the
CCUA.
3. Developments which have prepaid connection fees prior to January 1, 1998,
at a prior approved rate and still have an inventory of prepaid connections,
shall be exempt until such prepaid connections are used up.
Developments and/or communities that own, operate and maintain their own reuse
infrastructure as of January 1, 1998.
Developments Required to Install Wastewater Effluent Reuse Piping Systems and Take Reuse
Water When it is Available -All developments occurring after the effective date of this policy will
be reviewed by the CCUA staff for feasibility of the installation of a reuse piping system for
irrigation purposes. These shall include commercial,public facilities,industrial,as well as residential
developments.
EXHIBIT "C"
REUSE POLICY
Page 2 of 3
Summary of Criteria to be Utilized by Staff to Evaluate and Determine if Reuse Piping Systems will
be Required -
(1) Financial feasibility of extending a trunk main to an area at that time,or some planned future
date, to provide reuse water to the proposed reuse system. This item shall consider the size of the
development, distance to nearest master planned reuse trunk main or planned reuse plant, remaining
developable property in the area,complexity of existing development of area which trunk mains must pass
through, natural geographical barriers (or obstacles), environmental damage, etc.
(2) Remaining developable land in the area(new area with very little existing development and much
growth potential will be considered more feasible than an already built-out area).
(3) Availability of adequate reuse water within a reasonable time to service the reuse system.
(4) CCUA's budgetary restraints.
(5) Length of time before a reuse plant or pump station is expected to be built in the area.
Surcharge for Developments not required to Install Reuse Piping Systems - Due to the built-out
condition of certain geographical areas and the other evaluation of feasibility considerations noted above,it
will not be practical to require all areas to install reuse piping systems. All developments that are not
required to install the reuse system shall pay a surcharge per ERC as its share of the burden of the reuse
system installations at a rate set forth in the "proposed charges for service availability".
Requirement for Installation of an Automatic Sprinkler System - All developments where reuse piping
systems are required shall install or require the installation of an automatic sprinkler irrigation system
acceptable to CCUA for the development of each separate parcel(lot)within the development. Such on-site
systems shall utilize color-coded pipe for reuse water,functional rain sensors,and automatic controllers and
timers.
Approval of Sprinkler Irrigation Contractors - It is deemed by CCUA to be important that sprinkler
irrigation contractors,who connect to the reuse system,be thoroughly educated with regard to reuse systems
in an effort to eliminate any potential cross connection with the potable water system. In this regard, all
irrigation contractors installing irrigation systems in conjunction with this reuse program must prequalify
with CCUA by providing their credentials and passing a qualification interview with CCUA's staff for the
purpose of demonstrating knowledge of the key issues regarding use of reuse water. A current certificate of
insurance,acceptable to CCUA,naming the CCUA as an additional insured shall be on file at all times with
the CCUA.
Requirement for Payment of Reuse Base Facility Charge - All customer classes that have reuse piping
systems available shall be required to pay the Base Facility Charge for reuse water whether they use the
reuse water or not.

REUSE POLICY
Page 3 of 3
Requirement for Reuse Meter -All customer classes that have reuse piping systems available shall pay
for the installation of a reuse meter at the same time the domestic meter is requested.
Wells -All developments where reuse piping systems are installed shall prohibit the installation of wells for
irrigation purposes.
Responsibility for Design and Installation of Reuse Piping Systems - Where reuse piping systems are
required,the design engineer for the project shall design,at Developer's expense,the reuse piping system for
the development and any reasonable trunk mains necessary to connect to the nearest source of reuse water,
and developer shall install said system at its expense. The CCUA's existing policy regarding cost sharing for
oversized mains,refundable agreements,plan review and approval,and adherence to CCUA's specifications
and details,shall apply to these reuse piping systems,the same as the potable water distribution systems and
wastewater collection systems.
Charges for Service Availability -Charges and credits applicable to Service Availability after the effective
date of this policy shall be as follows (excludes existing charges that did not change and are not needed for
clarification purposes):
