Background:
The County has existing critical infrastructure lying within a portion of Duke Energy’s Power Transmission and Distribution Easement (f.k.a., Florida Power Corporation Easement). Much of this infrastructure results from Seminole County’s acquisition of Greenwood Lakes Utility Company facilities and infrastructure in 1984, and later Force Main infrastructure extensions along Rinehart Road constructed in 1989 connecting the City of Lake Mary Pump Station to the County System and Greenwood Lakes WWTP. As part of the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the Utility Department is planning for construction of additional infrastructure (metering and valving) to the existing Force Main within the Duke Easement to facilitate partial diversion of wastewater flow to the County’s Yankee Lake Regional Water Reclamation Facility.
The Agreement provides authorization and acknowledgement for proposed and existing utility infrastructure to lie within a portion of Duke Energy’s Power Transmission and Distribution Easement.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the agreement with Duke Energy Florida, LLC, acknowledging it has permitted and allowed the existing Seminole County utility encroachments to remain and operate, allow additional meter assembly and other associated encroachments to be constructed within Duke’s Easement area; and provide for an effective date.
