pipeline

An 8-mile long, 7-foot diameter pipeline connects the reservoir to the South-Central Hillsborough Intertie and the rest of the water supply network.  When needed, water flows by gravity from the reservoir through pipelines to the Regional Surface Water Treatment Plant.  At the treatment plant, the water is treated and blended with desalinated seawater and treated groundwater, then delivered to our customers.
