Fort Lauderdale officials are celebrating their newly updated water system.
City officials unveiled the Prospect Lake Clean Water Center on Thursday morning.
Built under a public-private partnership, the nearly $700 million plant replaces a 1950s-era facility that has served the city for over seven decades.
Officials say the major milestone invests in a new modern, resilient water system and in the future of drinking water for Fort Lauderdale and surrounding communities.
During the transition to the new system, officials say customers may notice a difference in the water color and taste.
Local leaders promise that this upgrade will make the city’s yellow-tinted water a thing of the past.
