2. Mean turbidity was relatively low at 3.7 NTU.
The Lake County Water Authority is reviewing alternatives to improve water quality in the Apopka Beauclair Canal. One proposed alternative involves constructing diversion weirs and a staging pond to direct water from the ABC South ditch to the NuRF for treatment. This project would require installing a 48-inch culvert under CR48 using jack-and-bore methods, and a 15-HP electric pump to move water to the NuRF. A 15-inch water line would also need directional drilling under the ABC. This project is currently under review, with conceptual design costs estimated. Contractors specializing in civil work, utility installation, pump systems, and directional drilling could find opportunities. Early engagement before final design and permitting could be advantageous for securing work.
