Benefits to the Environment

WATER CONSERV II has eliminated discharge of wastewater effluent to surface waters.

The RIB sites have provided a preserve for endangered and threatened species of plants and animals, as officially cited by City and County decree. As a result, the gopher tortoise, sandhill crane, eastern indigo snake, Florida mouse, Florida scrub plum (Primus Geniculata), sand spike moss, morning glory (Bonamia Grandiflora), and lacey-leafed sand square are doing well in their protected habitat.

WATER CONSERV II replenishes the Floridan aquifer through the discharge of reclaimed water to the RIBs. It also reduces the demand on the aquifer by eliminating the need for well water for irrigation.

We look forward to receiving your comments, inquiries and plant tour requests
