ECUA Receives National Award For Cantonment Facility

February 16, 2012

ECUA has received another national award for replacing the former Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant with the new Central Water Reclamation Facility in Cantonment.

ECUA received a National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) National Environmental Achievement Award for its excellence in operations and environmental performance.

Elvin McCorvey, ECUA chairman, accepted the NEAA award this week at the 2012 NACWA Winter Conference at the Omni Hotel in Los Angeles.

ECUA was selected for this award for its completion of the Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement Project. The project was the result of Hurricane Ivan’s impact on the Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant, and ECUA’s subsequent action to plan, design and build the Central Water Reclamation Facility (CWRF). The CWRF is a state-of-the-art facility that significantly reduces the ECUA’s exposure to facility damages in the coastal floodplain, and eliminates the direct surface water discharge to Pensacola Bay from the former Main Street WWTP.
