New Port Richey outlines potable, reclaimed water capacity and pending connection growth
Summary
The city of New Port Richey's public-works representative updated the board: potable supply relies on the Starkey Wellfield (about 8 MGD available), the water treatment plant averages 5.6 MGD, reclaimed production averages 5–5.5 MGD, and Newport Corners will add about 331 service connections.
Colin Eichenmueller, representing the city of New Port Richey, gave a member-government report detailing the city's potable-water sources, reclaimed-water production and near-term utility projects. He said the Starkey Wellfield is the city's main potable source (approximately 8,000,000 gallons per day) and that the municipal water treatment plant averages about 5.6 MGD.
"Our potable water system overview, our main source is the Starkey Wellfield, for the 8,000,000 gallons daily for sustainable flow," Eichenmueller said, and he added that reclaimed-water production averages roughly 5 to 5.5 MGD. He outlined projects including Newport Corners (adding roughly 331 active service connections), meter upgrades and planned sewer-main and manhole rehabilitation work.
Board members thanked the city representative and asked clarifying questions about reclaimed distribution expansion and how demand assessments will guide future designs.
