MEMORANDUMInterlocal Water Plant Consent Agreement • March 3rd, 2022
Attached for your consideration is a proposed Peace River Project Interlocal Water Plant Consent Agreement between the various member governments comprising the Polk Regional Water Cooperative (PRWC) and the City of Fort Meade. One of the alternative water supply projects being evaluated by the PRWC is the Peace River Land Use Transmission Project (the “Peace River Project”). The Peace River Project could potentially be located either within or in close proximity to the City of Fort Meade’s exclusive Water Utility Service Area. Fort Meade is concerned that a permit issued for the Peace River Project by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) could result in a reduction to its existing Consumptive Water Use Permit and is requesting that it be held harmless from such a possibility by any PRWC members that choose to participate in the Peace River Project.
