[City of Sebastian, Florida (citywide study; no single street address stated)] This document is a feasibility study for a citywide septic-to-sewer conversion program in the City of Sebastian, Florida. It identifies approximately 10,661 parcels (8,416 developed, 2,245 vacant) not connected to a public sanitary sewer system. The study evaluates two collection system alternatives: conventional gravity sewer and low-pressure sewer systems. Projected wastewater flows under full buildout are 1,602,279 gallons per day average annual daily flow. The study concludes the program is technically feasible and that existing treatment capacity at the Gifford and Glendale Water Reclamation Facilities is sufficient, though improvements to collection and transmission infrastructure will be required. The document provides planning-level cost estimates for both alternatives, with total public capital costs of $405,135,069 for the gravity system and $139,248,135 for the low-pressure system, plus private costs. It also includes an environmental screening identifying potential contamination sites.

The study is being conducted by AtkinsRéalis for Indian River County and the City of Sebastian. The document includes life cycle cost analysis tables for gravity and low pressure collection systems, site visit photo documentation, and meeting minutes from December 2025 through June 2026.
