A worker with Centech welds a casing pipe in a Floridan Aquifer monitoring well.  The well is used to collect samples from two zones in the aquifer.  The samples are analyzed to monitor water quality and water levels to determine if they are changing or impacting users in the different zones.

This is one of the three 16-inch diameter wells that withdraws water from the Lower Floridan Zone, located in the upper Lake City Limestone of the Floridan Aquifer.  The raw well water is sent to the Reverse Osmosis Plant for treatment.

The Reverse Osmosis membrane system treats water obtained from deep underground in the Floridan Aquifer.  Upon completion of the treatment process, the water quality is similar in purity to that of distilled water.

City of Melbourne maintenance worker Calvin Whipkey created this scenic mural on the digester tank located at the entrance of the Grant Street Wastewater Treatment Plant.  The plant is designed to treat 5.1 million gallons per day of wastewater from the south end of the city and return 500,000 gallons per day as reuse water for irrigation purposes.

The City's new water treatment plant uses an innovative Actiflo treatment process, which at only 50-feet long and 40-feet wide, can treat as much water as all of the existing surface water treatment equipment. This photo shows water that has completed the multi-step Actiflo process and is ready for filtration.

Raw water from Lake Washington enters the intake structure in the lake and is pumped to the surface water plant for treatment.
