ECUA To Continue 900 Acre Prescribed Burn In Gonzalez

March 8, 2019

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) will continue  prescribed burn operations on about 900 acres of ECUA property in the vicinity of the Central Water Reclamation Facility (CWRF) in Gonzalez through Saturday.

The burn activities will begin about 9 a.m and are a part of ECUA’s management plan for the ecological restoration of forest lands at the CWRF site.

The ECUA’s CWRF property is in the Gonzalez community and mostly lies south of Becks Lake Road, west of the Escambia River. A small amount of ECUA’s property north of Becks Lake Road will be included in this prescribed burn operation.
