A new and improved water treatment facility has opened in the Venice of America.一座全新的升级水处理设施已在“美国威尼斯”落成。

The city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, celebrated the opening of its new Prospect Lake Clean Water Center, a $666 million water infrastructure investment, according to an announcement from the city. The facility will produce up to 50 million gallons of treated water per day, according to the city’s webpage.佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡市庆祝了落成其新建的Prospect Lake清洁水中心，据市政府公告，这是一项6.66亿美元的水务基础设施投资。据市政府网页信息，该设施将每天生产多达5000万加仑的处理水。

The treatment center, which opened Oct. 15, was designed to strengthen the reliability of Fort Lauderdale’s drinking water system and provide greater flexibility with regard to evolving water quality standards and new contaminants, per the city. It’s also engineered to withstand Category 5 hurricane-force winds, which can reach 157 mph or higher.据市政府称，该处理中心于10月15日启用，其设计旨在增强劳德代尔堡饮用水系统的可靠性，并在应对不断变化的水质标准和新型污染物方面提供更大的灵活性。该中心还经过工程设计，可抵御五级飓风级别的强风，风速可达到每小时157英里或更高。

The treatment center is being delivered through a public-private partnership between the City of Fort Lauderdale, IDE Technologies, Ridgewood Infrastructure and Kiewit Water Facilities Florida, according to the Oct. 15 announcement. Kiewit was picked to design and build the structure in 2023, the builder announced at the time.根据10月15日的公告，该处理中心由劳德代尔堡市、IDE Technologies、Ridgewood Infrastructure和Kiewit Water Facilities Florida通过公私合作伙伴关系共同交付。Kiewit被选中负责该建筑的设计与建造，时间为2023年，建筑方当时宣布了这一消息。

The Prospect Lake facility will replace the city’s prior Fiveash Regional Water Treatment Plant, according to the city. The Fiveash plant, originally built in 1953, was not designed to meet current hurricane wind-resistance standards and would have required significant upgrades to address emerging contaminants.据市政府称，Prospect Lake设施将取代该市原先的Fiveash区域水处理厂。Fiveash水厂始建于1953年，其设计无法满足当前的飓风抗风标准，且要应对新兴污染物将需要进行重大升级。

The city began transferring water from the new facility into the distribution system in该市开始将新设施的水输送至配水系统，时间为

September, according to the announcement. That transition will continue gradually as the new plant is brought fully online and Fiveash moves from a treatment facility to a storage and distribution center.于9月进行。随着新厂全面投入运营，以及Fiveash从处理设施转型为储存与配送中心，这一过渡将逐步推进。

“This is a transformational investment in the future of Fort Lauderdale,” Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis said in the announcement. “We knew it was time to build a water system capable of meeting the needs of a growing city for decades to come.”“这是对劳德代尔堡未来的一项变革性投资，”劳德代尔堡市长Dean Trantalis在公告中表示。“我们深知，现在是时候建设一套能够满足这座不断发展的城市未来数十年需求的供水系统了。”

Indeed, other municipalities across the country are gearing up to upgrade their own water infrastructure as new issues plague legacy water systems, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2025 Infrastructure Report Card. The grades, which occur every four years, were stark — drinking water infrastructure received a “C-” while wastewater received a “D+” and stormwater received a “D”, the lowest awarded grade, tied with transit.事实上，根据美国土木工程师学会发布的《2025年基础设施报告卡》，全国各地的其他市政当局也在加紧升级各自的供水基础设施，因为新问题正困扰着老旧的供水系统。该评级每四年发布一次，结果令人警醒——饮用水基础设施获得“C-”，污水处理获得“D+”，雨水设施获得“D”，为最低获评等级，与公共交通并列。
