City Moving Ahead with Wastewater Plant Upgrades Design
Avon Park, Florida— Planning and design for the upgrades to the City of Avon Park Wastewater Treatment Plant are being financed by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). The CWSRF program is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) with joint funding from the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Florida.
This project grant will provide for design of a 1.5 to 2.0 million gallons per day (MGD) plant expansion that will increase capacity and provide for new advanced wastewater treatment improvements to improve water quality. Improvements in water quality will result from new advanced treatment processes that reduce Nitrogen and Phosphorus while helping the City to meet the new AO/FDEP requirements. These improvements will benefit residents and businesses in Avon Park and surrounding areas for years to come by preserving one of the most precious resources, clean water.
CWSRF programs operate around the country to provide states and communities with the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure that protects our valuable water resources nationwide.
