Eagle Water Company was established
to develop bulk supplies of high
quality groundwater near areas of
the southeastern US that are
experiencing high economic growth
and development. These areas area
also currently under the most severe
drought condition that has occurred
recently.
Our first water
supply project has secured exclusive
access to 58 million gallons per day
of high-quality groundwater from a
source in eastern North Carolina.
This water comes from the artesian
Castle Hayne Aquifer, a thick
limestone deposit that readily
provides several thousand gallons
per minute to individual water
wells.
Our exclusive access to
this water supply is provided by
both a permit with the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources
and our contract with PCS Phosphate.
PCS operates a surface open-pit
mining operation to extract
phosphate-bearing sands that lie
above the Castle Hayne formation.
An integral part of the mining
operation is the use of multiple
high capacity wells to relieve the
artesian pressure on the floor of
the areas being mined.
Both
our contract with PCS and our permit
with the Division of Water Resources
have been structured to assure our
water customers of a perpetual
supply of high quality drinking
water.
