C. W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir
The C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir is a 〔Tampa Bay Water: (C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir )〕 reservoir which collects water from the Alafia and Hillsborough Rivers in central Florida. It is named for C.W. Bill Young, the U.S. Congressman from Florida's 10th congressional district.〔("REGIONAL RESERVOIR READY" ''WaterMatters.'' Online. October 28, 2007. )〕 Tampa Bay Water, the regional water authority for Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties,〔(Hammette Yvvette. "Study concludes Tampa can draw more from river." ''The Tampa Tribune''. )〕 worked for nearly a decade in constructing the reservoir, which was completed in June 2005,〔 and officially opened on 15 October 2005.〔(Congressman Young's news release. Online. October 10, 2005 ).〕
==Background==
The reservoir is impounded by an earthen embankment that cost $146 million to build, of which $57 million came from Federal funds.〔Tampa Bay Water: (Regional Water Leader Announces Retirement Plans )〕 It can store of water, enough to provide about one quarter of its service area's drinking water for six months. This eases demand on well water from the Floridan Aquifer. The surrounding tract of land in Hillsborough County is designated as a wildlife preserve to maintain habitat.〔 In 2007, drought had reduced the amount of water stored in the reservoir to less than half its capacity.〔(Porter, Suzette. "Drought conditions worsen Officials ask public to use less water." Tampa Bay Newspapers : Front Page. May 5, 2007. )〕 This necessitated considering pumping water from the Alafia into the reservoir during the rainy season for use during the dry season.〔
