In the fall of 1998, the TampaBay Water Board selected a Master Water Plan that funded the implementation of $609 million of newsupply and treatment facilities to be completed by 2004, a six year period from concept throughconstruction and operation. The program includes a 66MGD surface water treatment plant, a15 billion gallon surface water reservoir, a 6MGD wellfield and 80 miles of large diameter transmissionmains. The new Tampa Bay Water will be twice the size of the former agency and include newtreatment and water quality requirements for delivery of drinking water to the member governments.
