Under Budget: New ECUA Plant Starting Up This Month
August 16, 2010
ECUA’s new Central Water Reclamation Facility in Cantonment will quietly begin processing wastewater late this month.
The $320 million relocation project is expected to come in under budget, according to Natalie Bowers, Emerald Coast Utilities Authority spokesperson. And, she said, it is expected to be complete on schedule.
Once construction is complete, there will be a period of several months where the new plant and lift stations will be starting up. During that time, the 73-year old Main Street Plant will remain in operation.
Once all start up is completed, the ECUA will start shutting down the Main Street Plant, a process expected to take several months. Once the downtown plant is completely decommissioned, ECUA will begin the demolition process.
Construction on the new Cantonment facility started in July 2007.

AHH
Stop and smell the roses.
When you’re paying $6 a gallon for gas you will change your toon and wish some good businesses would move out further. I guess I won’t see you shopping at the new dollar store in Molino. Speaking of that does William have an update on opening day?
T.if you want stores and restaurants move into town. encroachment is not a good thing
REALLY GLAD TO SEE THAT WE , THE TAXPAYERS ARE GETTING OUR MONEY’S WORTH. UNDER BUDGET? HAVE NOT HEARD THAT MUCH LATELY!!!! IF THE PLANT IS RUN PROPERLY IT WILL NOT EMIT ANY ODER AT ALL.WHY DID IT ONLY TAKE 40 YEARS TO BUILD IT WHERE THE ENTIRE COUNTY CAN MAKE USE OF IT? GLAD TO SEE IT START UP AT LAST.
What urks me is they probably won’t run sewage up Hwy 29 so we can get some decent stores/resturants & businesses.
POO WEE!!! What’s that smell? Moved from Pensacola to get away from the stink and now they are piping to us. Mid Escambia County gets screwed again.
