These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. Future Supply -Taylor Creek Reservoir Development of Cocoa's future supply, the Taylor Creek Reservoir, is underway. The reservoir was formed as part of the Upper St. Johns River Basin Plan, a flood control project developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Implementation of the plan began in 1968 but was suspended in 1972 due to environmental impact concerns. Since most of the Taylor Creek Reservoir was completed before the suspension, the reservoir was allowed to fill and operate.
Surface water requires a different treatment method than ground water.
For this reason, Cocoa began construction in June 1997 of facilities to treat surface water from Taylor Creek Reservoir. Construction of the new treatment system will be completed by November 1999. The expansion will allow Cocoa to meet the needs of Central Brevard for many years to come. Important Definitions Tables in this report contain abbreviations and terms you may not be familiar with.
