Jacksonville wastewater pipeline to North Florida delayed but not dead

A plan to pipe treated wastewater from Jacksonville to North Central Florida has been delayed — potentially indefinitely — after a state senator announced a pause on the Water First North Florida project via social media. However, a separate report indicates the proposal has not been fully abandoned despite the legislator’s announcement. The project would have brought reclaimed water to the region as a water-supply alternative.
