Progress on the Moore’s Creek Booster Station is accelerating as the project moves closer to active construction. FPUA has now secured the required permit, completing an important step needed before construction can move forward.

This week, FPUA is celebrating progress on two fronts: advancing the infrastructure that will carry our wastewater system into the future and creating new opportunities for the community to connect with that work.

Last week, we highlighted several important operational activities underway at the facility, including solids dewatering, standby generator wiring, and continued coordination on supporting wastewater infrastructure projects.

This week, we’re highlighting some of the important operational work happening throughout the facility. Our contracted dewatering partner is currently draining concentrated sludge holding tanks as part of the MWRF’s solids residual and dewatering process.

FPUA’s joint venture construction partners, Haskell and Globaltech, Inc., were recognized for their exceptional performance and collaboration throughout construction of the new facility.

This week’s photos highlight equipment supporting the AquaNereda basins and the formation of the sludge granules at the heart of the treatment process.

This week, plant staff are focusing on optimizing the sludge-wasting and biosolids-dewatering processes. During wastewater treatment, beneficial bacteria naturally break down organic material.

This week, we're taking a closer look at what happens after wastewater has been fully treated and how the new Water Reclamation Facility safely manages every drop of water and every remaining solid.

This week, crews continued welding sections of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe that will become part of the discharge system from Lift Station A.

This week, Sea & Shoreline crews began delivering and planting seagrass as part of the FPUA Seagrass Restoration Project. Supported through grant funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection this restoration effort is helping restore critical habitat within the Indian River Lagoon.

This week, progress is visible throughout the facility. Behind the scenes, our maintenance team is constructing a protective canopy over the headworks electrical panels to help safeguard critical equipment from the elements.

The facility's new backup generator has arrived on site and will be wired and initialized over the coming weeks, further strengthening system reliability and resiliency.

This week at the Mainland Water Reclamation and Reuse Facility, startup and system optimization activities continued as the facility moves closer to full operational readiness.

Last month, we shared that FPUA's Mainland Water Reclamation and Reuse Facility received the 2025 Water and Wastewater Plant Operations Excellence Award from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).

This week, the new WRF officially began treating approximately 20% of FPUA’s total system flows using the state-of-the-art AquaNereda® treatment process.

This week, we’re highlighting the professionals whose experience, collaboration, and commitment continue to move the Mainland Water Reclamation & Reuse Facility and its supporting systems forward.

As we recognize Earth Day, we are highlighting how everyday infrastructure improvements directly support a cleaner, more resilient community.

Commissioning of the new Mainland Water Reclamation Facility remains underway as FPUA teams continue startup activities, system tuning, and flow testing throughout the facility.

FPUA is proud to share that the Mainland Water Reclamation and Reuse Facility has been recognized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection with the 2025 Water and Wastewater Plant Operations Excellence Award.

This week, the Water Reclamation Facility is entering its final stages, with key activities focused on preparing the plant for full operation.
