The L-63N Canal Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Reactivation project is part of the Lake Okeechobee and Estuary Recovery (LOER) Plan developed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and other state agencies to help restore the ecological health of Lake Okeechobee and the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Estuaries. The objective of the project is to develop a 10 mgd water treatment system at the Taylor Creek ASR site. The new system could use a combination of filtration and disinfection to meet primary drinking water standards, prior to storage. Bench-scale and pilot-scale testing was conducted to determine the best filter and disinfectant for reducing total coliform to less than 4 cfu/100 mL and resulting in the absence of fecal coliforms.
