C-51 Reservoir

On March 15th Gregg was out at the C-51 Reservoir to celebrate the completion of Phase 1.

By storing water in 36-foot-deep former rock pits, the reservoir creates water supply for utility companies along the southeastern coast. There's an environmental benefit to this because the water it stores would otherwise have been lost to tide and would have negatively impacted the Lake Worth Lagoon. The reservoir built in Phase 1 can store up to 16,000-acre feet of water. Once completed, Phase 2 will add an additional 45,000 acre-feet of water storage capacity.
