Breese
System Information
System Description
Two separate intakes on Shoal Creek convey water at up to 700 gpm each into two off-channel reservoirs that can exchange water via a valve, although only one pump is typically operated at a time. A 2.0 mgd treatment plant can receive water from either reservoir or directly from the downstream intake on Shoal Creek via gravity flow.
