AMERICAN Ductile Iron Pipe Protects The Environment In South Florida

Project Summary:
The Lake Region Water Treatment Plant/Pipeline reduced public water supply withdrawals from Lake Okeechobee, a key yet fragile fixture in South Florida’s water management system. Lake Okeechobee covers 730 square miles, drains an area of more than 4,600 square miles and is the second-largest freshwater lake in the continental United States. But the lake’s average level has fallen – a disturbing trend because the lake is not that deep to start with.
