ECUA Receives National Award For Cantonment Facility

September 9, 2013

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority has been selected to receive a Silver Peak Performance Award, presented by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA).

The award recognizes public wastewater treatment facilities for their outstanding compliance records in the previous calendar year.

The ECUA received the Silver Peak Performance Award to honor the Central Water Reclamation Facility in Cantonment and its achievement of near-perfect compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the 2012 calendar year.

The CWRF, which provides reclaimed water daily to industrial partners Gulf Power and International Paper, is an advanced wastewater treatment facility that the ECUA has operated since its construction in late 2010.  The CWRF was built to replace the Main Street Waste Water Treatment Plant, which was damaged in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan.

    Now if they can only get the all of the sewage all the way from it’s origins to the treatment plant, ECUA could get another shiny award for the wall.
