BACKGROUND:
Background
On September 9th of 2023, the City of Deltona was notified by Odyssey Manufacturing of a price increase of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) from $1.25 to $1.65 per gallon. Sodium hypochlorite is used as a required disinfectant in the wastewater process.
The City of Deltona is using a piggyback contract of Marion County which was renewed on September 30th, 2023, with the increased cost valid until September 30, 2024.
Many factors such as distance from manufacture by rail and roadway as well as volume purchased influence this adjusted cost. Similar utility’s experienced prices of $1.69 and $1.75 per gallon.
At the time of the notification, the 23/24 FY budget was in the final stages of approval. Sodium Hypochlorite usage has been monitored very closely to attempt to utilize the approved funds while still maintaining adequate disinfection per FDEP requirements. Those funds are exhausted, and the budget resolution provides the additional funds to continue to meet disinfection requirements through FY 23/24.
