Chapter 3.0 Environmental Impacts 3.1 Description of Planning Area 3.1.1 Planning/Service/Project Area The planning area and the service area are the same. The City of Casselberry is centrally located in Seminole County, south of Lake Jessup and mostly east of U.S. 17-92. The City stretches along S.R. 436 to the Orange County line which is the southern service area boundary. There is a small piece of Orange County which is served by the Casselberry water system. The northern boundary is the city limits of Winter Springs and the eastern boundary is the service area of Seminole County Utilities. The western boundary is the service area of the City of Longwood (northwest), the City of Altamonte Springs (central west) and also a Seminole County service area. The City is served by a number of arterial highways including U.S. 17- 92, and State Roads 436 and 434. The Casselberry water service area is shown on Exhibit 3-1. 3.1.2 Environmental Aspects of the Planning Area The environmental aspects such as climate, topography, geology, hydrology and environmentally sensitive areas were described in Amendment 1 of the December 2007 Water Facilities Work Plan previously submitted to the FDEP Bureau of Water Facilities Funding. 3.2 Socio-economic Conditions The socio-economic conditions have not changed since Amendment 1 was issued. 3.3 Water Supply, Treatment and Transmission/Distribution System 3.3.1 Description of the Existing Water System The City of Casselberry water supply and treatment facilities has not changed since Amendment 1 was submitted.
