This work is ongoing as part of a multi-year, multi-phase water reclamation pipeline which is being installed to supply area communities with high-quality reclaimed water for their irrigation and landscape needs. Reclaimed water allows communities to irrigate their landscapes, golf courses and scenic waterways, and provides critical aquifer recharge through popular community recreation sites such as Green Cay and Wakodahatchee wetlands.
PBCWUD apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates the community’s patience as this work is completed safely and efficiently. <<
