Statewide Interest:
This project will protect the environment by removing two point source discharges of secondary treated domestic wastewater treatment plant effluents from a 303d listed impaired water body. These wastewater discharges will be reclaimed and used for beneficial reuse purposes as public access irrigation water in the Clay Co. Utility Authority's reclaimed water distribution system thereby reducing demand on the FL Aguifer and intermediate aquifer groundwater resources.
