− | + | The '''Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant''' is an 18-acre sewage treatment facility operated by the [[Emerald Coast Utilities Authority]]. It was built in 1937 and underwent a major expansion in 1977. It is located north of [[Main Street]] between [[Clubbs Street|Clubbs]] and [[Devilliers Street|Devilliers Streets]], and its proximity to [[Pensacola Bay]] makes it extremely vulnerable to storms. After sustaining serious damage from a 15-foot [[storm surge]] during [[Hurricane Ivan]], the resulting three-day outage energized discussions to move the plant. The estimated $300 million cost of such a move (ameliorated by a $134 million grant from the [[Federal Emergency Management Agency]]) has caused a great deal of controversy, and the plant was often cited in the debate over the [[Community Maritime Park]]. | |
