1. Seawater and Brackish Ground Water

Titusville Environmental Commission · 2026-04-15 · agenda_item

The Titusville Environmental Commission is reviewing the potential use of Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination to create fresh water from brackish groundwater. This process uses membrane technology to remove contaminants and produce a clean water product, along with a concentrated reject stream. The review is currently in the planning and study phase, indicating an early opportunity for interested parties. If approved, this project would involve site evaluation, system design, and construction of a desalination plant, likely including deep well injection for the concentrate. This could also involve hybrid systems combining existing wells with brackish water sources. The project scope may include pretreatment and post-treatment systems, as well as ongoing maintenance and operational support. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and utility services are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's development and potential needs before formal bidding processes begin.
