Project Description
This project includes a series of aquifer storage and recovery wells with a total capacity of approximately 150 million gallons per day and associated pre- and post- water quality treatment which will be located adjacent to the reservoir or along the Hillsboro Canal. The initial design of the aquifer storage and recovery facility assumed 30 well clusters, each with a capacity of 5 million gallons per day with chlorination for pre-treatment and aeration for post-treatment. The source of water to be injected is in the surficial ground water adjacent to the reservoir. The location, extent of treatment, and final number of the aquifer storage and recovery wells may be modified based on findings from a proposed aquifer storage and recovery pilot project. The purpose of this project is to supplement water deliveries to the Hillsboro Canal during dry periods thereby reducing demands on Lake Okeechobee and the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Water will be pumped into the aquifer during the wet season or periods when excess water is available. Water will be released back to the reservoir or Hillsboro Canal to help maintain canal stages during the dry season. |
