NWFWMD provides money for Apalachicola wastewater project

The Northwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board has approved up to $71,500 in grant funding to the City of Apalachicola to improve water quality in Apalachicola Bay.

Under the agreement, the District will provide funding for the design and engineering of a stormwater improvement project at Battery Park.

The proposed project includes the construction of a large wet detention facility designed to capture, store and treat stormwater runoff before it is discharged to the Apalachicola Bay.

An additional component of the project includes conveyance system enhancements that will pre-treat runoff and help address localized flooding within the City of Apalachicola. 

The grant money is expected to fund the entire cost of engineering, design, surveying and permitting for the project.
