Key West Resort Utilities Maximizes Reuse And Nutrient Recovery
Water scarcity poses unique challenges to KW Resort Utilities Corp. (KWRU), the utility firm that provides wastewater management, wastewater recovery, and wastewater treatment in the region. KWRU began operation in the late 1960s and has worked hard over the decades to keep up with wastewater needs as population and tourism have boomed, spurred by land reclamation and development.
