East Port Water Reclamation Facility Expansion

Project Description

The East Port Water Reclamation Facility was acquired in 1991 through the purchase of General Development Utilities. It later underwent significant upgrades and expansion in 1996 to increase its wastewater treatment capacity to six million gallons per day (MGD). In response to growing demand, the facility is now undergoing further expansion to increase its capacity to nine million gallons per day, alongside the addition of advanced wastewater treatment, which is a valuable addition to the treatment process to ensure treated water has as low concentrations of nutrients as possible.

This expansion project represents a crucial investment in enhancing wastewater treatment capacity and infrastructure resilience to meet the needs of the growing community served by the East Port Water Reclamation Facility.
