ECUA’s Cantonment Facility Finalist For International Award
August 9, 2011
ECUA’s Central Water Reclamation Facility in Cantonment has been honored as a top three finalist for the 2011 Global Water Reuse Project of the Year by Global Water Intelligence.
The facility’s winning design and construction was carried out by Pensacola firms Baskerville-Donovan, Inc. and Hatch Mott MacDonald. Funding for the $316 million project came from FEMA, other federal sources, the State of Florida, ECUA, Escambia County and the City of Pensacola.
The Cantonment facilty, the largest construction project in Escambia County’s history, uses a highly developed biological treatment and disinfection process to clean water and provide up to 17 million gallons a day of reclaimed water to Gulf Power’s Plant Crist Plant and up to six million gallons a day of reclaimed water to International Paper.
The new plant sits on 2,000 acres of land adjacent to Ascend Performance Materials (formerly Solutia) on Old Chemstrand Road near 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.

My goodness, we have environmental progress here…good deal! That sewage treatment plant in Pensacola should have been replaced 30 years ago…too bad it took a hurricane to get it done!
