To achieve the best quality water, the two are blended, stored, and distributed from the plant. Additionally, water is purchased from the Peace River and is stored and distributed from this location as well as the three booster pump storage stations throughout the City.
Our most recent facility is the Southwest Water Treatment Plant located on Manasota Beach Road within Wellen Park. It also features a reverse osmosis system.
