2017 SWIFT Research Center Open House Construction Tour
HRSD's Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT) is an innovative water treatment project in eastern Virginia designed to further protect the region’s environment, enhance the sustainability of the region’s long-term groundwater supply and help address environmental pressures such as Chesapeake Bay restoration, sea level rise and saltwater intrusion. The SWIFT Research Center in Suffolk, Virginia is scheduled to be completed in May 2018 and will send highly treated wastewater through additional advanced water treatment to produce up to one million gallons per day of drinking quality water. HRSD will test its ability to add this SWIFT Water into the aquifer and offer public tours of this innovative facility.
