Why aren't our stormwater issues being addressed in this program? A. In 1997, the City and its Consulting Engineer, CH2MHILL, completed a Comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan. One of the components of the plan was to identifY and rank areas in the City where stormwater issues were criticaL Criteria for ranking included components of both flood level of service (reducing flooding) and water quality level of service (improving the quality of the water being discharged into Biscayne Bay). Four major criteria were used to rank each of the 172 stormwater basins including pollutant loading, flooding potential, citizens' complaints, and city staff rank. In addition, other issues including potential for property damage and critical evacuation corridors were also considered. After reviewing each of these criteria and assigning a ranking factor, each of the 172 stormwater basins was ranked to identifY locations requiring stormwater improvement. The top 37 drainage basins (areas) were identified as the priority areas where the City could accomplish the most flooding and pollution reduction. The 37 "priority drainage basins" are shaded tan on the infrastructure improvement figure. The City recognizes that drainage is an issue in virtually every community. If a community has not been identified as being a "priority drainage basin" it does not mean that drainage is not of concern. Additionally, some drainage improvements will occur in non-priority areas during future phases of work. Q. A. My street has storm sewers and we still have puddles when it rains. Why? The City of Miami Beach is faced with very difficult storm water issues including the following: ~ The elevation of the island is less than 7 feet above average sea level, while high tide can be as high as 3 feet (marginal storms can produce tide elevations in excess of 4 feet above average sea level). Groundwater is located within 2 to 3 feet below ground surface. The City experiences very intense rainfall (Storms with rainfall in excess of 2 to 3 inches per hour occur weekly during the summer). The City is virtually impervious -- most of the rainfall puddles rather than soaking into the ground. The island is nearly flat with little grade or changes in elevation to assist with the movement of storm water runoff. New laws require "treatment" or on-site disposal rather than discharging stormwater directly into Biscayne Bay. Because of these factors, puddles and some standing water must be looked upon as a nuisance rather than ?flooding? or serious drainage problems. ~ The City of Miami Beach adapted Flooding Level of Service (LOS) criteria developed by the Florida Department of Transportation and Miami-Dade County. Based on these criteria, three classifications of roadways are considered including Principal Arterial (Level A), Minor Arterial (Level B), and Residential (Level C). The Flood LOS criteria mandates that roads remain passable under design conditions. Using the Flooding LOS criteria adopted by the City, each road within Miami Beach was classified as a user Level A, B, or C. Flooding LOS is considered to be met if the roadway remains passable (less than 8-inches of water above the crown of the road) for a 5-year storm on a Level A road, a I O-year storm for a Level B road, and a IOO-year storm for a Level C road. Design storm designation refers to the anticipated return frequency of a storm of a specific magnitude (i.e., larger storms return or occur less frequently). Future design improvements to the City's storm drainage system consider the roadway classification and the meeting the Flooding LOS criteria. The primary goal of the drainage system improvements is to keep the roadways passable as defined by the Flooding LOS criteria. _.,------~--,_._._-~--~-----_._--~---,._--~-~..,---_.--._.- -- "~',,"'m""-- '." -""., .... """~ ,....-... ,. -.' "-. ',"' ",,,,.. "".'_,_ .'...... ,'_ ,_,...". '0'_"'" ... Despite meeting the Flooding LOS, it would be considered unacceptable to have stormwater above the crown-of,road for an extended period of time. The newly designed storm sewers will meet the Flooding LOS and facilitate the ultimate removal of the storm water from the roadways. Unfortunately, it may take many hours to completely remove the stormwater because of high groundwater or tide elevations. . Some standing water, puddles, and saturated swales must therefor be considered part of living on the island and nuisances that can not be overcome. Given the serious drainage challenges and a finite amount of money, some drainage issnes will always exist even after drainage improvements have been constrncted. Q. Wbat can we expect after drainage improvements are made in tbe priority areas? A. In the priority areas, the storm water collection and disposal system is being completely reconstructed. New collection systems inclnding catch basins and pipes will be replaced or supplemented. In addition, the existing disposal systems currently consist of pipes leading to the bay. These systems will be totally redesigned to incorporate drainage wells, exfiltration trenches, and swales to provide on,site disposal and to reduce the pollutants being discharged into the bay. It shonld be realized that even after the improvements are completed, the new system will operate under the Flood LOS Criteria previously explained. The new system will provide for vehicular passage under design storm condition and will not insure that standing water never exists, The goal of the new systems will be to prevent stormwater from endangering lives and personal property and to keep the roads passable for the design conditions, Q. In areas not identified as priority stormwater areas will any drainage improvements be implemented? A. Yes. Two scenarios exist for communities that are not considered priority drainage basins and include providing localized drainage relief or installing a totally new drainage system, If a specific neighborhood has only minor infrastructure improvements (water & sewer) and if the roadways will receive minimal streetscape improvement, only limited drainage improvements will be considered. In such areas, drainage improvements will address localized flooding issues. Examples of this type of improvement may consist of adding or moving catch basins or adding a drainage well to address flooding at a single intersection, In areas that are not storm water priority areas, there is still a possibility that an entirely new drainage system will be installed. If infrastructure improvement activities are extensive and lor if roads will be reconstructed, an entirely new drainage system may be installed. This type of improvement may not be identified until the middle of a project and will be motivated by issues other than drainage. Q. In observe standing water tbat makes roads impassable, wbat sbould I do? A. Call the Public Works Department of the City of Miami Beach. The City will send a crew to investigate the reasons behind the problem. Resolving the flooding may consist of cleaning a catch basin or eliminating debris from an outfall pipe. To prevent maintenance issues like this from creating flooding problems, take the initiative to keep the catch basins & grates clean in front of your house; never blow lawn trimmings or leaves into the storm drains, and don't regrade swales along road right-of-way. If you have "shedding trees" in your community and you observe clogged catch basin inlets call the Public Works Department to perform the necessary maintenance. Q. We bave just recently re-Iandscaped tbe swale area of our borne. Will stormwater construction projects effect our beautification project? A. Potentially. The swales in front of your home may be part of the road right-of-way and legally belong to the City, Ideally, stormwater accumulates in the swale areas and percolates or soaks into the ground, Using these systems, stormwater is ?disposed? on site and does not impact the quality of the water in Biscayne Bay. Many homeowners have encroached onto the swales and have mounded the areas to keep them dry and to permit parking even during rainstorms. Additionally, some residents have extensively planted these areas which prevent stormwater from collecting or soaking into the soil. In either scenario, if the swales are not functioning to assist the drainage system, the City may regrade the right-of-way to restore the storm water storage and disposal functions. This may result in the removal of existing plantings, walls, or parking areas. Overhead to Undereround Conversion Procedures . Request is usually generated from Homeowner's Association (HA). The HA makes a written request to the City indicating the specific location for the desired underground. > . The City then forwards the request to the utilities (FPLlBellSouth/CA TV) with a site plan or any maps associated with the area specified. . FPL will submit a non-binding ballpark estimate, a non-refundable deposit amount necessary to secure the binding cost estimate, and a copy of the FPL tariff 6.300-6.330 to the City. (Approximately 4-6 weeks) This estimate will not include streetlights (FPL can provide standard or decorative streetlights) nor will it include landscape restoration (this will be the residents' and the City's responsibility). . At this point, the City needs to determine if there are any future projects that are scheduled for this area that might cause a conflict. (Ex. Drainage projects, water and sewer projects, etc.) . Once the City has received a response from all the utilities, they will submit them to the HA in a package and copy each of the utilities. . If the HA decides to proceed with the undergrounding, then they will contact the City. The City will then schedule a pre-design meeting and invite all the parties involved. In this meeting, it is important to review the FPL tariff and stress the HA responsibility to obtain and record easements from the residents affected. . Once FPL, BellSouth and Cable TV have received the non-refundable deposit, the design will commence (Approx. 3-6 months). . In the design stage if any of the utilities have questions, they should be directed through the City's project manager. (This is the time to discuss the location of the facilities.) . Binding cost estimates by the utility companies will be submitted in writing to the City. . The City will then prepare the total estimate based on the utility companies' estimates and any additional works required by the HA, and will provide this to the HA as a total cost not to be exceeded in the assessment of the properties. These costs are calculated based on the assumption that each utility is working independently; therefore, each utility needs to present a cost including trenching. Joint trenching should only be pursued once the HA has agreed to go forth with the undergrounding. The credit will be determined later on. . The HA will need to determine how they plan to assess the residents and take any measures necessary to receive the approval from their residents. . The HA will need to submit in writing to the City the acceptance to proceed and the commitment to pay by the property owners, through a signed petition or County administered vote. . When a majority vote or petition is presented to the City, with a commitment by the HA to implement the undergrounding of existing services by the property owners, the City will pass a Resolution to approve the project and establish the special assessment and identify the funds to commence the undergrounding project . The work will then be scheduled and construction will begin.

Work is nearing completion or all funds are committed for projects identified in the first bond issue, which addressed the most crucial problems in the water and waste- water systems. Improvements to the drinking water system include replacing under-sized pipes to accommodate adequate water pres' sure for fireflow, the amount of In the November 2, 1999 election, voters gave resounding approval to three general obligation bond issues totaling .192 million. Those funds are to be used for above ground projects that include: . renovations to fire stations and new fire trucks and rescue equipment . improved recreation facilities, equipment, access and lighting ilt our parks and beaches . neighborhood improvements such as streetscapes, traffic calming, lighting, sidewalks and traffic control devices These general obligation bonds are repaid from ild valorem millage dedicated specifically to pay for the new principal and interest on the bonds. Bonds to pay for under. ground improvements to the water, wastewater and stormwater systems are revenue bonds, and they are repaid on a pro rata basis from the fees charged to utility customers. The second bond Issue for continued work on critical water and sewer proj- ects is expected to come before city commissioners early in 2000. (See related stories inside.) Citizens will have the opportunity at public meetings in their neighbor- hoods to discuss alternatives for streetscapes and other improvements. The city will then coordinate the above and below ground work into one project, including streetscape, water,sanitarysewerandstormwater improvements. The process will assure that major above ground improvements can be put in place as soon as work is completed on under- ground utilities. It will also prevent duplication of effort and cause less disruption on thecity's streets. Miami Beach Commissioners want you to picture what could happen if you turned on your faucet and no water came OUt. Or your toilet couldn't flush. That's what they saw when the city's Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan, updated In 1994, revealed water and wastewater systems dan. gerously aged, inadequate and fragile. The Commission took action and in 1995 passed a.lS9 mil- lion bond issue to begin the first phases of the work. The second bond issue, to be sold sometime within the next few months, will pay for ongoing work on the water and waste- water systems to be phased In gradually in order to minimize disruptions to service. "The master pian Identified about.ll05 million of critically needed improvements, so we always knew there would be addlllonal bond Issues," explains Finance Director Trlsh Walker. 'We Just didn't want to borrow more money than we needed at the time, Deteriorated pump station con- trol equipment is being replaced by above ground state.of-the art elec. trical controls. This change will ensure that drinking water is avail- able in almost any situation. Failing fifty.year old welded. steel water tanks are also being replaced with pre.castconcretetanks. Repairs 10 the city's waste- water system include upgrading pipes, pumps and telemetry at pump stations. An important and cost-saving meas. ure is a program to reduce inflow and infiltration of rainwater through cracks or open seams into the city's wastewater system. That "wasteful waste" amounted to about eight mil. lion gallons of water per day and had been costing the city an addi- tional B million annually for wastewater treat. ment. The work completed to date already shows an annual savings of $2 million to the cltv, because the amount of Inflow/Infiltration has already been reduced by 3.5 million gallons a day.

Water pipes throughout the city will be rehabili- tated to remove mineral bUild-up and prevent bacterial contamination. r The Drinking Water System The Sanitary Sewer System 'Chances are, you don't use 40. year-old pots and pans to cook with. And you wouldn', want your neigh- borhood fire depanment using 40- year-old trucks and hoses. But did you know that the waler you drink and the water that stands ready to put out fires In your home or business is traveling through pipes that are at least four decades old? Impro....ing the system by replacing those old pipes and elim- inatingthe threats they pose loour drinking water supply and our safety is well under way. Since 1995 the city has aggressively made improvements to insure that homes, hotels and other busi- nesses never go withoul water or have their waler use restricted. The problems exist because the clty's water system deteriorated over the years. Results of the antiquated water system range from reduced water pressure which threatens fire- flow to discoloration and possible bacterial contamination of water. The aging, unlined cast iron pipes have developed heavy coatings of minerai deposits that contribute to deteriora- tion of the pipe walls, leaving them vulnerable to rupture at any time. "Miami Beach Is il barrier Island sur- rounded by Silllwa- ter, so h can't sink Its own wells," expliiins Asslstilnt City Manager Matthew Schwartz. "'We need to buy our fresh drinking water from the Miaml-Dade County Water .. Sewer Department, or WASD."

Remedies for the problems These pipes, plus the water star- age tanks and pumping stations that contain motors and emergency gen- erators were in danger of failing. Continuing improvements include modernization of water booster pump stations, and replacement of obsolete storage tanks. Wherever possible, instead of digging up and replacing pipe, min- erai build.ups inside will be routed out and pipes will be relined with cement. New water mains will be installed in places where pipes are too corroded to be cleaned <lnd relined. An estimated 15 miles of galv<lnized Iron mains will be replaced with newer materials such as ductile iron and pve pipes. Pump stations present different ch<lllenges. Many of them are loc<lted below the ground, making them vulnerable to nooding. All have out-of-date electronic circuit- ry. To remedy these problems, new electrical systems and emergency generators are being installed in aboveground buildings to assure operation under any circumstance and in all weather conditions. A new water booster station is also pro- posed for Terminal Island. It will improve pressures and fireflow capabilities in the central and south sections of the city during normal operating conditions <lnd will func- tion as a back-up in case other sta- tions become non-operational. The city's four 50-year-old water lanks had deteriorated and were on the brink of failure. Two of the old welded steel tanks have already been replaced by tanks made of pre-stressed concrete. These new tanks require low,er You probably don't think about the water you flush down the toilets and drains in your house each day_ After all, that's the idea behind indoor plumbing. Wastewater that leaves your house or business flows down the drain Into larger under- known as "Inflow/infiltration" or "1/1," had been causing losses to the city of some B million dollars a year. (Please see Stopping wasteful waste, back page.) The major overhaul of the city's waste- water system to reduce the worst 1/1 problems is well on its way, providing the most immediate dollar savings to the city. T h , trouble is that the citywide network of 170 miles of sanitary sewer pipes is decaying due to Its age_ In fact, more than half the pipes are 40 years old or older, and some are more than 70 years old. Certain areas of the city are still using mains laid during the Fisher-Collins era. Those old pipes, many of which lie below sea level, have corroded and deteriorated_ Equipment out-of-date The electronic equipment in the pump stations is also out-of-date, as some of it has been in place since the 1940s. Since most homes didn't have TV in the decades when the sewer system was first installed, it's easy to imagine how outdated all the electronic equipment Is in the pump stations. The threat of flooding presents fur- ther problems. Electrical and elec- tronic equipment housed underground means pump stations can shon out, causing serious and extensive disruption of service. Such a sanitary sewer system failure could mean a backup of raw sewage in the streets. Cracks in sewer mains could also allow sewage to escape. TI "If outdated and underground eleitrlcal control systems at the pump stations are flooded, the city's pumps could be out of order for an extended time," says Armando Perez, Vice President of Camp Dresser" McKee, the firm in charge of program manage- ment for the infrastructure improvement program. Additionally, the communica- tions systemth<lt runs the pumpsta. tions is almost inoperable. The old system was, by the nature of the 30- year-old equipment, at the end of its useful life. The City of Miami Beach took a crit- Ical look at the entire system. New pumps and electronics will be added, but maybe most importantly, the elec- Irical equipment will be brought aboveground and housed instruclUres so it won't be underwater in case of a major storm surge. Now, the pumps will be able to move the wastewater to take care of any situation. They will be state-oHhe art to function well into the future and the flows can be adjusted to fit an area's wastewater demands. Those upgrades are coming none too soon_ Miami Beach often faces unique threats from our tropi- cal weather patterns. Pumps dam- aged by a hurricane storm surge could stop working during emergen- cies. Last year's devastating hurri- canes setved as a reminder that Miami Beach was lucky to have escaped a storm surge once again.

This problem, ! The Stormwater System Street flooding ilftN a heilvy rain makes some residential and business areas nearly impassable. As a result, we're gE'tlcrally aware of storm sewers only when they don't operate as they should. Yet when the sun tomes out and the sea of rainwater suhsides we tend to forget about the problem. Before 1996, even though the city operated the slormwater sys- tem, it tame under the umbrella utility managed by Miami-Dade County. Improvements to the sys- tem were on a pay as YOIA go basis funded by stormwater fees, which are a component of monthly utility bills. [See related story Where does your mOlley go? below.) Then it became apparent that majur improvements were neces- sary which would require passage of a bond issu(' to pay fur them.'ln ord~r to be able to sell those bonds. Miami Beach need~d to establish its own independent storm water utility. The city peti. tioned Miami.Dade CoutHy to be removed from the county's system. which was accomplished in 1996. Late in 1997 authority was granted for Miami Beach to create its own stormwater utility. Since that time a Comprehensive Master Plan has been prepared to address the man- agement of stormwater. The plan t identified 37 majOr areas, or drair1dge basins. within the city where flooding is excessive and pol. lutants <He being carried into Biscayne Bay_ In addition. the plan identified itl1provement~ to the maintenance of the existing system, calculated costs associated with sys. tern modifications and prioritized the proposed improvements. After the study was completed the cost of necessary improve. ments Wits ascertained to be over $40 million, e)r.cceding the funding raised from the pay as you go model. In order to implement these improvements, a dedicated stormwater bond will be issued later this year that will be r~paid by the storrl1water utility user fee. As with other improvements to the drinking water and wastewater systems. a purpose of bolstering the stormwater system is to main- tain the quality of life in Miami Beach. Yet like th~ rest of Miami- Dade County. Miami Beach is also under a mandata Imposed by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (enforced by the U.S. Environmental ProtecUon Agency) to Improve the quality of water being discharged into surrounding waterways. Miami Beach really has no choice but to make theSe improve. Flooding like this will be greatly reduced by long.needed stormwater improvements. ments. However, other benefits will be more immediately apparent to citizens. In addition to decreasing the concentration of pollutants entering Biscayne Bay by providing on.site disposal. flooding in our streets will be greatly reduced. Reduced flooding also improves public safety. Emergency vehicles will be better able to get through and evacuation routes will be pass- able and not under water. Despite the proposed improve- ments, some standing water will always exist. The goal is to make flooding a mere annoyance Where does your money go? When YOll send off a check each month for the utility bill that comes to your single family home. you generally think of it as paying thl!' water bill. Actually, you are paying for four separate services. They are: Water Miami Beach is a barrier island and has no freshwater wells of its own. As a result, the city must purchase its water from Miami. Dade County. The water that flows out of our taps travels through big mains across the four causeways from the mainland. The average homeowner In Miami Beach uses about \1,000 gallons of drinking water per month. Miami Beach buys its water at the rate the county charges its wholesale customers, and the City has no say in this price. Because the cost of water must be includ' ed in our rate, the largest portion of city utility fees goes to Miami- Dade County for the purchase of drinkin9 water. YOUR WATER FEE SO.Z7DeblSonllc.r.1 "Miami Beach charges its utility customers $2.16 for each thousand gallons of water you use." says Miami Beach Finance Director Patricia Walker. "Of this amount. we pay the county a total of 91 cents or 42 percent of the COSt. Seventy.seven cents is the cost of the water department operations and 14 cents is for the environmen- tal fee the county charges to man- age the quality of our water. "Ninety.eight cents of the amount is used to operate and maintain the water utility system within Miami Beach and 27 cents is used to pay the debt service, which is the principal and interest on the bonds for the improve- ments to the system:' Sewer. or wastewater As with drinking water. most of the fee charged for wastewater - 52% - goes to Miami-Dade County for treatment and dis- posal.

As a result. the charges for these utilities are leu than we', estimated when the Improvements were planned.. The Drinking Water System The Sanitary Sewer System installed in places where pipes ilre too corroded to be cleaned and relined. An estimated 15 miles of galvanized iron mains will be replaced with newer materials such as ductile iron and PVC pipes. Pump stations present different challenges. Many of them are located below the ground, making them vulnerable to flooding. All have out-of.date electronic circuit- ry. To remedy these problems, new electrical systems and emergency generators are being installed in aboveground buildings to assure operation under any circumstance and in all weather conditions. A new waler booster station is also pro- posed for Terminal Island. It will improve pressures and fire flow capabilities in the central and south sections of the city during normal operating conditions and will func- tion as a back-up in case other sta. tions become non.operational. The city's four 50-year-old water tanks had deteriorated and were on the brink of failure. Two of the old welded steel tanks have already been replaced by tanks made of pre.stressed concrete. These new tanks require lo~er You probably don't think ilbout the water you flush down the toilets ilnd drilins in your house eilch day. After illl, that's the idea behind indoor plumbing.

(Please see Stopping wasteful waste, back page.) The major overhaul of the city's waste- water system to reduce the worst 1/1 prOblems is well on its way, providing the most immediate dollar savings to the city. T h , trouble is that the citywide network of 170 miles of sanitary sewer pipes is decaying due to its age. In fact, more than half the pipes are 40 years old or older, and some are more than 70 years old. Certilin areas of the dware still using mains laid during the Fisher-Collins era. Those old pipes, many of which lie below sea level, have corroded and deteriorated. Equipment out-of-date The electronic equipment In the pump stations is also out-of-date, as some of it has been in place since the 1940s. Since most homes didn't have lV in the decades when the sewer system was first installed, it's easy to imagine how outdated all the electronic equipment is in the pump stations. The threat of flooding presents fur. ther problems. Electrical and elec. tronic equipment housed underground means pump stations can short out, causing serious and extensive disruption of service. Such a sanitary sewer system failure could mean a backup of raw sewage in the streets. Cracks in sewer mains could also allow sewage to escape_ Chilnces are, you dOll't use 40. year.old pots and pans to cook with. And you wouldn't want your neigh- borhood fire department using 40- year-old trucks and hoses. But did you know thilt the water you drink and the water that stands ready to put out fires in your home or business is traveling through pipes that are at least four decades old? Improving the system by replacing those old pipes and elim- inating the threats they pose to our drinking water supply and our silfety is well under way. Since 1995 the city has aggressively made improvements to Insure that homes, hotels and other busi- nesses never go without water or have their water use reslricted. The problems exist because the city's wilter system deterlorated over the years. Results of the antiquated water system range from reduced water pressure which threatens fire. flow to discoloration and possible bacterial contamination of water. The aging, unlined cast iron pipes have developed heavy coatings of mineral deposits that contribute to deteriora. tion of the pipe walls, leaving them vulnerable to rupture at any time. "Miami Beach Is a barrier Island sur- rounded by saltwa- ter. so It can't sink its own wells," explains Assistant City Manager Matthew SchwaTU.

Remedies for the problems These pipes, plus the water Slar. age tanks and pumping stations that contain motors and emergency gen- eralars were in danger of failing. Continuing improvements include modernization of water booster pump stations, and replacement of obsolete storage tanks. Wherever possible, instead of digging up and replacing pipe, min. eral build-ups inside will be routed out and pipes will be relined with cement.

This and other measures "If outdated and underground elecuical control systems at the pump stations are nooded, the city's pumps could be out of order for an extended time." says Armando Perez, Vice President of Camp Dresser &- McKee, the firm In charge of program manage- ment for the infrastructure improvement program. Additionally, the communica- tions system that runs the pumpsta. tions is almost inoperable. The old system was, by the nature of the 30- year-old equipment, at the end of Its usefulUfe. The City of Miami Beach took a crit- ical look at the entire system. New pumps and electronics will be added, but maybe most importantly, the elec. trical equipment will be brought aboveground and housed in structures so it won't be underwater in case of a major stonn surge. Now, the pumps will be able to move the wastewater to take care of any situation. They will be state.of-the art to function well Into the future and the flows can be adjusted to fit an area's wastewater demands. Those upgrades are coming none too soon. Miami Beach often faces unique threats from our tropi- cal weather patterns. Pumps dam- aged by a hurricane storm surge could stop working duringemergen- cies. Last year's devastating hurri- canes served as a reminder that Miami Beach was lucky to have escaped a storm surge once again. But the city needs to be prepared!
