ORLANDO, Fla. – FEMA has approved a grant of $7,225,885 for the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority to defray the cost of installing four generators at the Stock Island Reverse Osmosis Facility to provide emergency power during a storm.
After Hurricane Irma in 2017, FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) will assist the lower Florida Keys in maintaining continuous water service with the installation of the generators, which will protect against a 500-year flood event.
