💧 A major water-quality project has reached its first significant milestone. Five man-made marsh systems are now fully operational at the C-23/C-24 reservoir site west of Fort Pierce. 🌿
🌊 The broader $2.1 billion project will capture and clean 29.4 billion gallons of polluted stormwater runoff from an 827-square-mile watershed. The treated water will flow into the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River estuary.
🏗️ Construction on the next phase is expected to begin within weeks. The full project is scheduled for completion in 2031.
