  • The Utilities Support Document
    The Utilities Support Document The inventory and analysis in the Support Document provides the foundation for the Plan portion of this Chapter. The Support Document is not adopted. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS There are four utility systems operated and maintained by the City of Sarasota: potable water, wastewater, reclaimed water, and solid waste. The City’s Utilities Department is responsible for the overall performance of the potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water systems. The City’s Public Works Department is responsible for the overall performance of the solid waste system. The City works in cooperation with Sarasota County which provides landfill capacity for solid waste disposal. Sarasota County also operates and maintains the stormwater drainage system. POTABLE WATER SUPPLY PLAN The City of Sarasota operates, maintains and provides capital reinvestment to a complete potable water service. There are no private potable water facilities in the City. All facilities are public and are maintained by the City of Sarasota Utilities Department which serves the corporate limits of the City. Eighty-nine properties annexed along the Tamiami Trail south of Bee Ridge Road in December of 1996 receive potable water from Sarasota County Utilities. This will not change as a result of annexation. For additional information regarding potable water, see the discussion of ground water resources in the Environmental Protection and Coastal Islands Chapter of the Sarasota City Plan. Facility Analysis Illustration U-1 shows the location of the existing potable water facilities which provide service within the City of Sarasota. The potable water treatment facility consists of raw water supply facilities, water treatment plant, distribution system, storage, and pumping facilities The existing water treatment plant came on line in 1982.
