CRITERIA FOR

WATER AND SANITARY SEWERAGE

SYSTEMS WITHIN BREVARD COUNTY

AMENDED APRIL 2021

Utility Services Department

Brevard County Board of County Commissioners

Introduction to the Eighth Amendment to the Criteria for Water and Sanitary Sewerage Within Brevard County, Florida

Since 1979, construction standards for Brevard County Utility Services have been set forth in a document titled the Criteria for Water and Sewerage Within Brevard County. It is authorized by Section 110-184 of the Brevard County Code. There have been seven amendments to the Criteria since the original was authorized. The last amendment was done in January 2018.

Originally, the Criteria was intended as a guidebook for the Utility’s field inspectors. Over the years, it has become a comprehensive set of design and construction standards. As with any engineering project, each amendment built upon the work of the prior amendment. After 36 years (11 years since the last amendment) the Utility recognized the need to eliminate redundant sections, consolidate similar standards, consider the use of modern materials, and provide drawings and technical specifications that could be incorporated directly into projects to streamline the review and approval process. Consequently, the re-formatted Criteria now provides standard drawings and technical specifications approved by the Utility. Additionally, administrative matters are consolidated into a single section at the beginning of the document for ease of use.

1 POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION

1.1 GENERAL

1.1.1 PURPOSE

Section 110-180 of the Brevard County Code states, “It is hereby declared that public ownership of all water and sewerage systems in the County is in the public interest and that the furnishing of water and sewerage service by publicly owned utilities is in the public interest.”

The authority for these standards is provided for in Section 110-184 of the Brevard County Code. Applicable State and federal laws and regulations shall be adhered to concurrently with these standards. When laws or regulations are conflicting, the most restrictive requirement shall be followed.

The objective of these standards is to create durable and economically maintainable public utility systems.

The information in this document is available on-line at the following website:

www.brevardcounty.us/utilityservices.

1.1.2 MINIMUM STANDARDS

This document sets forth the minimum standards applicable to utility construction projects and is intended to provide a basis for the design and construction of water and wastewater facilities within Brevard County as follows:

1. Facilities owned and operated by Brevard County, or

2. Facilities connecting to Brevard County utility systems.

1.1.3 DEVIATIONS

Any deviation from these standards must be approved in writing by the Utility Services Department Director before construction plans can be approved.

1.1.4 PRIVATELY OWNED SYSTEMS

A privately-owned utility system connecting to a County maintained system shall conform to these standards. Privately owned systems are not permitted for residential subdivisions or properties that have the potential to be subdivided in the future. Proposals for privately owned systems must be approved by the Utility Services Department Director prior to construction plan review.

1.1.5 CONFORMANCE TO MASTER PLAN

Developer constructed wastewater collection and transmission systems, water distribution systems, and reclaimed water distribution systems shall conform to master plans for system extensions proposed by Brevard County Utility Services.

1.1.6 SURVEY

The Design Engineer should strive to design utility systems to avoid occupying points that are important for surveying, such as points of intersection, curvature, or tangency.

1.1.7 DRAWING SIZE

All drawings shall be submitted on 24” x 36” sheets of paper, or if delivered electronically, formatted to be viewed in scale on 24" x 36" format. Electronic format (pdf) submittal is encouraged in lieu of paper format for review purposes. Drawings shall be of true scale when submitted for review. Reduced drawings are not acceptable for review.

1.1.8 PLAN AND PROFILE

Construction drawings for site plans and subdivisions shall include plan and profile of the proposed utilities, including gravity sewer, force mains, reclaimed water lines, and potable water lines. Plan and profile shall be on the same sheet, show all other utilities that may conflict with the proposed construction, and shall be formatted so the plan is aligned with the profile. The plan and profile sheets shall have a horizontal scale no smaller than 1” =60’ and have a horizontal to vertical scale ratio of 10:1.

1.1.9 SIGNATURES

All drawings, excluding record drawings, and calculations submitted for review and approval shall be signed, sealed and dated by an engineer registered in the State of Florida. Record drawings shall be certified by an engineer registered in the State of Florida.

1.1.10 MASTER UTILITY PLAN

A master utility plan shall be included in the construction drawings for all projects. The master utilities plan shall be on one sheet, shall show existing and proposed water, sewer, reclaimed water, and storm sewer; and shall clearly show connections to existing systems.

All phases of a phased development shall be shown.

1.1.11 CALCULATIONS

The Design Engineer shall provide calculations demonstrating the adequacy of the existing and proposed utility systems in a manner that is clear and convincing.

1.1.12 CONSTRUCTION PLAN APPROVAL

Approval of construction plans by Utility Services is valid for a period of one year, beginning when permit applications and drawings are forwarded to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for approval. If construction is not started within one year, Utility Services retains the right to require compliance with the version of these standards in effect at the time an extension of the approval is requested. This requirement shall apply to currently approved projects.

1.1.13 PHASED DEVELOPMENTS

When a development is to be constructed in phases, each phase must be applied for, permitted, and cleared separately by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

1.1.14 UPGRADES TO EXISTING SYSTEMS

If the Utility has determined that a proposed development will overload existing systems, or is inconsistent with established master plans, the Developer shall pay for improvements to the existing systems to assure adequate additional capacity for the proposed development and compliance with established master plans.

1.1.15 PIPE SEPARATION

Minimum pipe separations are set forth in US-60

1.1.16 LANDSCAPING

Trees must be planted a minimum 10-foot offset from all utility mains

1.2 EASEMENTS, RIGHTS OF WAY AND PERMITS

1.2.1 GENERAL

Whenever possible, utility lines shall be located within road rights-of-way or utility easements immediately adjacent to road rights-of-way.

1.2.2 EASEMENT WIDTH

Easements of sufficient width are required to guarantee that permanent or semi-permanent non-utility structures are not placed close to a facility or main. The easement shall allow unhindered access to all such facilities and mains. Easements adjacent to and parallel with rights-of-ways shall have a minimum width of 10-feet. For single lines in open areas and for lines running on side property lines of subdivisions, the minimum width shall be 15 feet for lines up to 7 feet deep measured from the finished grade to the bottom of the pipe or two times the excavated depth rounded up to the next five-foot interval, whichever is greater. The width is based on the utility being located in the center of the easement. A wider easement may be required when utilities are not centered within the easement or when more than one line is in the same easement. Utility Services reserves the right to require wider easements for access where it deems necessary.

1.2.3 COUNTY RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMITS

Right-of-way permits are required for work within public rights-of-way. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining these permits from Brevard County Public Works Department.

Copies of permits must be submitted to Utility Services prior to the start of construction.

1.2.4 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (FDOT) RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMITS

Right-of-way permits are required for work within Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) rights-of-way. In addition to an FDOT permit, a performance bond is required by Utility Services, prior to the preconstruction conference, in the amount of 125% of the value of the work to be performed within the FDOT right-of-way.

1.2.5 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (FDEP) PERMITS

Copies of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permits shall be submitted to Utility Services prior to construction.

1.3 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

1.3.1 SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS
