- FORT MYERS, Florida, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FORT MYERS, Fla. – CDM Smith has been selected by the City of Fort Myers, Florida, for the expansion of reclaimed water treatment systems at two 12-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) advanced wastewater treatment facilities.
- This 5-year, $150 million project is designed to eliminate all effluent discharge from the plants into the surface waters of the neighboring Caloosahatchee River and help combat Florida’s harmful algae bloom.
- The firm has a long history with the City of Fort Myers serving as their engineer of record for wastewater for more than 20 years.
- The waning water resources in Southwest Florida coupled with a new state regulation that prohibits the discharge of any water into surface waters makes this work crucial for the City of Fort Myers.
