Stuart WTP Reverse Osmosis Facility

This new reverse osmosis (RO) facility will allow the City of Stuart to diversify its water supply options by utilizing the Floridan Aquifer System to provide reliable water and meet future demand. Work includes the construction of a new 1.5-mgd RO treatment facility with a 3.0-mgd-capable process/control building, which ties directly to a 1,750-foot deep well and the existing lime softening facility. The project also incorporates a Floridan aquifer water supply well, pretreatment equipment, chemical systems, filter clear well modifications, transfer pump replacement, new pole barn, valves and a new generator building to house a 500-kW generator and a 4,000-gallon diesel fuel storage tank.

RO is one of the most effective, economical technologies available for removing a wide range of impurities from water. This technology will allow the City to diversity its water supply options to address ongoing threats to their existing water supply and the potential for more stringent future drinking water regulation.
