Starting Tuesday, the injection well at Piney Point will start pumping water 3,300 feet into the ground. Those in charge of the project say the water has been filtered and the entire process is safe, but with the rainy season around the corner, it’s also a race against time. It’s been one of the biggest environmental blemishes in the history of the Tampa Bay area, now filtered wastewater will be pumped deep below the ground from the gypsum stack. "I know that there is still some opposition to the deep well injection program," Herbert Donica, court appointed receiver for Piney Point, said. "I believe it's safe. We've got the best people working on it. It's highly engineered. It's a technology that's been around for over 70 years."
