Commissioner Starkey water and Crossbar comments

3:35:52Seth Weightman. Yeah, Seth's walking out the door. But I read that article um with the pumping of the water. and um and the thoughts of looking at crossbar And and two two things I want to bring up with Tampa Bay Water, not crossbar, Cypress Creek.

3:36:10Four years.

3:36:11Yeah, so so they're talking about pumping more water.

3:36:14Yeah, but that's from all oil fields, that's not just from crossbar.

3:36:18Or s is it

3:36:19that's over the region to maybe g possibly get up to ten million gallons a day?

3:36:23Well I could tell you which one would be great to pump from. And that is Eldridge Wilde. Because the Trinity area And Booker Creek. That's where all the f the flooding issue is. So if they

3:36:39It's caused 'cause they backed off uh pumping.

3:36:41Yeah, yeah. I

3:36:42I saw

3:36:42it's

3:36:42down to thirty issue. I brought that up at the meeting yesterday.

3:36:46But if they wanted to start with one I would highly suggest Eldridge Wild, which for those of you who don't know, Eldridge Wild is in Pinellas County on the Pasco Pinellas border. And mistakenly when Trinity um got their master water plan. It was during the drought. And Swift Mud actually asked the developer, Dr. Gills, to bring the Brookle Creek water in from Pinellas County under Trinity Boulevard into Thousand Oaks.

3:37:17To rehydrate the wetlands. So now we're getting their water. Well we don't want it. And you know what I'm talking about.

3:37:25Absolutely.

3:37:26So um So Elder's Wild. you know, pump away. Pump pump pump.

3:37:33Yeah, but we work closely with Swift Mund. We're uh we've asked Swiftman the possibility of possibly doing some additional pumping because we've recovered very well. Uh with crossbar and and that area out there you can go go down fifty two and you can see the Recovery and the swamps and things where the water is. I mean, we've I don't know what it is about that area and they must put their well field out there for some reason because Ring it. three inches rain in in the

3:38:03Dade City area and you'll get seven inches right out there around 4G Ranch in that area where crossbowers.

3:38:09It's the uh it's the lines, the coastal breeze line.

3:38:13Yeah.

3:38:14We

3:38:14watch it every day at

3:38:15the market.

3:38:15Also looking at another property to uh take care of development rights that also borders right up next to crossbar whale field, which will give more protection for that well field. So

3:38:27the other issue we have with crossbar that um I think Uh Mr. Karbala and I will have a conversation with Chuck. But I just wanna bring to your attention is with the orange belt alignment it's very important That we use that road that has been in talks all along. that cuts the corner off of Aaron cut off to behind pass uh Central Pasco town center or whatever. Central Pasco employment I I will I hope we have a better name for that whole area one day. Yeah,

3:38:57the Central Pasco Employment District. That's not a nice name. Mm. Because the r the reason why that's important because the rail corridor goes up between Cypress Creek. and the development but that is the shooting place. Tampa based boarding place.

3:39:16Mm

3:39:16and so we want to get into the park and away. And there's already a road there. Um and it's that great. It's there's no environmental impact. We don't want to be Riding along the right-of-way. Tampa Bay Sporting Clays. So

3:39:34And all of a sudden I'm hearing a little talk that maybe there's an issue. So we want to make sure that that's locked down because that's a very important section. We actually are about to go for a grant for money to build. Part of that section. So Okay. That's it for me.

3:39:48County Attorney. I have nothing.
