The city of Milton has exhausted its capability to add new sewer customers, a distinct quandary as economic development awaits the capability to double or triple capacity. Developments beckon at the door, while businesses coming into the industrial parks are dependent on the availability of sewer.
Milton needs a new wastewater treatment plant – yesterday. However, there are other factors bearing heavily on this urgent need to facilitate development hook ups. For example, the Blackwater River, considered a Florida Outstanding Water, is now an impaired water body from the effects of the wastewater effluent discharge.  Also, the site selected for the new plant, near the Santa Rosa County Jail, suffers from steep grades, erosion and is uncomfortably close to the river. ....
