Document Title: Richard Reynolds Bracksih Groundwater Desalination Facility - Phase II Expansion
Document Type: NOD - Notice of Determination
Received: 11/15/2010

Document Description: The expansion of the Richard A. Reynolds Desalination Facility would increase the desalinated potable water production from its current 5 million gallons per day (mgd) capacity to 10 mgd. Increasing potable water production of the desalination facility would help the Authority reduce reliance on imported water and improve the reliability of water supplied to the local communities. The proposed project would include 5 new wells sites, conveyance pipelines and expansion of the existing plant to accommodate the increase in capacity to 10 mgd.
