Florida completes $191.8 million water-reclamation project

Project completed

Florida has completed a water-reclamation project in St. Johns County. The project is the largest water-reclamation project in the county.

The facility was built to treat 3.25 million gallons of water a day. It is also intended to keep 1 million pounds of nutrients from reaching the Matanzas River.

Why the project matters

Water reclamation treats used water so it can be managed for further use or discharge. The project's stated capacity gives St. Johns County a facility designed to process millions of gallons each day while reducing the nutrients entering the Matanzas River.

The project connects two measurable goals: daily treatment capacity and nutrient reduction. Its cost was, making it the county's largest water-reclamation project.
