ECUA Saves $2.77 Million On Demoliton Of Old Sewage Plant
June 24, 2011
The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority has accepted a $734,617 bid to demolish the old Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant — a bid about $2.77 million less than the $3.5 million that was anticipated.
Cross Environmental Services of Crystal Springs will begin demolition in early August. The process is expected to be completed by July 2012.
CES plans to recycle many parts of the 70-year old plant.
The Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant was replaced by the new $316 million Central Water Reclamation Facility adjacent to Ascend Performance Materials (formerly Solutia) on Old Chemstrand Road in Cantonment.
A full 15 miles north of the existing Main Street Treatment Plant, the facility is well above the flood plain and is built to resist hurricane-force winds. Redundant power and storage systems help to ensure that the facility can remain operational during conditions that crippled the Main Street plant during Hurricane Ivan in 2004.

They will BLOW every penny. It would make too much sense to put it up for a rainy day.
maybe they ( ELECTED LEADERS ) will build a boat dock for the wealthy to dock their boats and create low paying jobs for us poor folks from the nort end of the county
Maybe We can build another ball park, or something else that will end up costing the Taxpayers money. Or maybe the county will buy it…..and build something named after W.D. Childers. …Just a thought.
