Ridgewood Infrastructure and IDE Technologies, a company specializing in advanced water treatment, have closed a public-private partnership with the City of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to design, build and operate a new 50 million-gallon-per-day water treatment plant.
The new Prospect Lake Clean Water Center will replace Fort Lauderdale's Fiveash Regional Water Treatment Plant, which is nearing the end of its useful life. The facility will be designed with a focus on sustainability, using state-of-the-art nano-filtration and ion-exchange technology.
