Heaney 1015110 1.0 Introduction The University of Florida is responsible for Task 2 in the proposal that was accepted by SJRWMD. The items listed under Task 2 are shown below. Task 2. Perform Spatial and Temporal Analyses and Develop Conservation Goals The work elements for this task from the existing proposal include: • Evaluate water consumption data using property appraisal attributes and typical water use benchmarks for indoor and outdoor use to determine water savings potential. • Evaluate CII water consumption and evaluate water savings potential • Perform water audit and estimate water losses and trends using AMR data. • Inventory water infrastructure, ages, and historical leakage events. • Develop relationships and refined methods for calculating real and apparent losses from sources to distribution system. • Apply hydraulic modeling and other analysis to isolate areas of concern and further study. • Evaluate benefits of master and customer meter change -out program. • Evaluate effectiveness of other conservation BMPs and compare against new BMPs using the Conserve Florida Water Guide Version 2.0. • Estimate the economically optimal level of water losses in the treatment and distribution systems. • Develop trends, criteria and thresholds to establish water - saving goals. These ten work elements have been condensed into the five tasks that are described in Table 1. The schedule of these activities over a three year period is shown. Table 1. University of Florida Tasks and Schedule A more detailed description of each of these tasks is presented below. 2.0 Task Descriptions Task 1. Initial bottom up evaluation of water loss, water conservation, and water reuse saving potential using EZ Guide The new EZ Guide 2.0 Beta for water conservation evaluation is greatly improved over the previous versions. Comejo and Heaney (2010) present an overview of this new version. Key features include: • Water use and parcel data pre - populated for each utility • Updated Water Audit methodology • Utility Water Budget • End -use analysis replace default fixture water savings rates for indoor water use • Optimal mix of BMPs is found using linear programming During this initial phase, a detailed conservation evaluation will be done using EZ Guide 2.0 Beta that will provide an initial estimate of the potential savings from conservation only. Also, water loss evaluations will be done using the new AWWA (2009) method. Water loss is dealt with in the current version as a separate option that the user completes and reports the result into EZ Guide. Based on a detailed review of water loss methods, Friedman and Heaney (2009a and 2009b) recommend using the new AWWA (2009) water audit and water loss control method along with supporting documents by Fanner et al. (2007) and Thornton et al. (2009). Morales and Heaney (2010) describe how commercial water use can be estimated. The water reuse evaluation will be done following guidelines from the WateReuse Foundation (Raucher 2009) and the Florida DEP water reuse program ( http• / /www.dep. state .fl.us /water /reuse /techdocs.htm This Quarter Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 ID Task 11 21 31 4 51 61 71 8 9 10 11 12 Initial bottom up evaluation of water loss, water conservation, and water reuse saving potential using 1 EZ Guide X X Perform water audit and estimate water losses and 2 trends using AMR and other data X X X Refined bottom up benefit-cost optimization of water loss, water conservation, and water reuse options I 3 using EZ Guide 1XIX X X Estimate the economically optimal level of water ix 4 losses in the treatment and distribution systems.

Comejo and Heaney (2010) present an overview of this new version.

(2007) and Thornton et al. (2009). Morales and Heaney (2010) describe how commercial water use can be estimated. The water reuse evaluation will be done following guidelines from the WateReuse Foundation (Raucher 2009) and the Florida DEP water reuse program ( http• / /www.dep. state .fl.us /water /reuse /techdocs.htm This initial evaluation will provide a preliminary estimate of the most promising alternative water supply and conservation options. As part of this task, OF will work closely with Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc (Jones Edmunds) and the City to obtain geospatial datasets including billing address tables linked to parcel identification numbers, account level billing information, AMR meter locations, and distribution system asset information (pipe size, material, year of installation) as populated by the City of Sanford. The deliverable will be a report summarizing a conservation evaluation using EZ Guide 2.0 Beta, water loss evaluations using AWWA 2009 method, and a water reuse evaluation following guidelines from the WateReuse Foundation and FDEP. Task 2. Perform water audit and estimate water losses and trends using AMR and other data The success of the AWWA M36 water audit and water loss method is heavily dependent on the quality of the input data. The Sanford AMR water meter replacement program will provide vital information on unaccounted for water due to meter inaccuracy. The AWWA M36 method only looks at annual average flow conditions to estimate water losses. It does not address the question of the seasonality of these losses. The water budget analysis in EZ Guide addresses this important question by going through a calibration exercise based on historical water use practices including spatial variability. Water infrastructure information will provide a better basis for locating the most serious leaks. High frequency AMR data will greatly assist in pinpointing the location of losses. The hydraulic model of the water distribution system will be used to evaluate the effect of system pressures on water losses. Overall, a bottom up approach will provide a greatly improved estimate of apparent and real losses. As part of this task, OF will work with the City on establishing a workflow for updating the results of the EZ Guide Analysis and Water Audit. The deliverable will be a report summarizing the water audit performed and an estimate of water losses. Task 3. Refined bottom up benefit -cost optimization of water loss, water conservation, and water reuse options using EZ Guide The results of Tasks 1 and 2 provide estimates of the most promising water loss, conservation, and water reuse options. However, site specific benefit -cost information is needed to more accurately determine the best integrated solution to this problem. The direct link with infrastructure information system should provide essential information to make this determination. EZ Guide software will be refined to automatically determine the best overall blend of these options. The deliverable will be a report summarizing the best integrated options for water loss, conservation and water reuse. Task 4. Estimate the economically optimal level of water losses in the treatment and distribution systems The results from Task 3 provide the basis for more detailed evaluations of how to best manage the water losses in the treatment and distribution systems. Ultimately, the economically optimal level of losses depends on balancing the costs of control with the savings from reduced losses. Existing methods only present this evaluation at a conceptual level and do the implementation on an ad hoc basis. A more directed formal approach will be used in this study to make this evaluation including how to deal with the uncertainty associated with these estimates. A recommended action plan for addressing water loss in the distribution system will be developed as part of this task. The action plan will summarize the estimated costs and benefits of each recommendation. The actions will be summarized in a timeline to show the benefits and costs over time so that the actions can be compared with the timing of alternative water supplies. The deliverable will be a report that evaluates how best to manage the water losses in the treatment and distribution systems, along with a recommended action plan. Task 5. Develop trends, criteria and thresholds to establish water - saving goals for water loss program The purpose of this task is to evaluate the best way to stage the implementation of the recommended program and to develop a performance tracking system to provide continuous feedback on the actual performance of the system. The deliverable will be a report with implementation strategies, along with a performance tracking system. 3.0 OF Budget The Task payment schedule for this project is presented in Table 2.
