Hi from the City Wetlands division. Just sharing a few photos taken today of the residents who call our local wetlands home. The City of Lakeland owns and operates a Wetland Treatment System which provides tertiary treatment or final polishing for all of the City’s wastewater. The Wetland is a series of ponds or “cells” providing natural treatment of the impounded water. Located south of Lakeland, the Wetland is comprised of over 1600 acres of marshes, swamps, and lakes. In addition to the treatment provided, the Wetland offers an outstanding and dynamic habitat for a diverse community of plant and animal species.
