CAPE CORAL -- On Jan. 11, South Florida Water Management Chairman Chauncey Goss spoke at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Caloosahatchee Connect Project in the City of Cape Coral.
The Caloosahatchee Connect Project is a large reclaimed water pipeline that allows the City of Cape Coral to transfer up to 12 million gallons of water daily from the City of Fort Myers. The water, which would otherwise be discharged into the Caloosahatchee River, will provide local residents with an additional irrigation water source to reduce withdrawals from freshwater canals and help maintain water levels during the dry season.
Chairman Goss highlighted the importance of partnerships and how there is so much momentum right now to safeguard and improve Florida’s water resources.
