District representatives recently participated in a tour of the Peace River/Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority (PR/MRWSA) reservoir and facility expansion.
An additional 6-billion-gallon reservoir will be built at the RV Griffin Reserve as part of the PR/MRWSA expansion project. The project also includes expanding the existing treatment facility from 24 to 48 million gallons per day and constructing additional water transmission lines.
The PR/MRWSA provides drinking water to Charlotte, DeSoto and Sarasota counties.
