Sec. 751.107. - Criteria factors.

Priority of providing wastewater lines or water lines with the use of WWS Funds to a subdivision or neighborhood shall be determined by Director of the Public Works in consultation with the VP Water/Wastewater-JEA and the Director of the Duval County Health Department, or designee, in accordance with the following criteria factors developed by the Director of the Public Works Department after consulting with the VP Water/Wastewater-JEA and the Director Duval County Health Department, or designee, and the Chief of the Environmental Quality Division. The criteria factors developed shall include: Health Criteria 1A. Number of septic tank system repair permits issued in the area. 1B. Age of septic tank system. 2. Average lot size in the area. 3. Soil potential in the area. 4. Seasonal highwater table in the area. 5. Threat to potable water in the area. 6. Sanitary conditions in the area. 7. Proximity of the area to any surface water body. 8. Potential for flooding in the area. Environmental Criteria 9. Proximity to surface waters (% of lots within a 150M buffer). 10. Impaired tributary exceedance factor. Community Considerations 11. Development prior to 1968. 12. Median home value. 13. Existence of centralized water system (partial or lacking). 14. Elimination of future proliferation of on-site septic systems. 15. Off-site economic development opportunities. Priority Areas with the highest overall scores from the application of the Criteria Factors shall be given the highest priority for the provision of water and wastewater service and the use of available WWS Funds. Subdivisions or neighborhoods that achieve a higher score than others, but require funding in excess of available WWS Funds, may be replaced by the next highest scored subdivision or community on the Priority Areas List. The Director of Public Works has the authority to direct the phasing of subdivisions or neighborhoods within the listed Priority Areas without concern of the criterion score to allow for entire systems to be constructed due to efficiencies and economic feasibility.
