WRDA 2000 Programmatic Authority Project:
Winsberg Farm Wetlands Restoration
(source: Final Feasibility Report and PEIS, April 1999, Section 9.1.8.5, page 9-15)
This feature includes the construction of a 175-acre wetland east of Loxahatchee Wildlife Preserve in Palm Beach County. The feature will reduce the amount of treated water from the Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility wasted in deep injection wells by further treating and recycling the water.
The purpose of this facility is to create a wetland from water, which would be normally lost to deep well injection and any future beneficial use. The wetland will reuse a valuable resource, recharge the local aquifer system, create a new ecologically significant wildlife habitat and extend the function of the nearby Wakodahatchee Wetland.
