TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A new 120 million-gallons-per-day (MGD) water treatment plant, among the world’s most sophisticated water treatment facilities, is now providing Tampa Bay Water customers with drinking water that exceeds federal and state drinking water quality standards. Thanks to an innovative approach taken by Tampa Bay Water, a public regional wholesale water provider, the new plant – designed, built and operated by Veolia Water North America – is the largest design-build-operate (DBO) drinking water project in U.S. history, representing a potential model for other cities facing growing populations, tight budgets and water resource challenges.

“We’re delighted that our partnership completed the new Tampa Bay Water Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant on time and under budget,” said Jerry Seeber, general manager of Tampa Bay Water. “This new facility is the backbone of our regional water service to more than 2.4 million people. By every measure, whether water quality, cost or service, this project is a success.”
