As reported by Harry Behret, a “ranger” at the Viera Wetlands, the Viera Wetlands is facing another closure to ALL visitors this month.

“Hi Y'all,
I hate to keep on passing along bad news but I just got this e-mail and in part it said:
"Stress testing is scheduled on the new storage tank under construction at the treatment facility. The nature of the testing raises serious public safety concerns.
To address these concerns, after locking the gate on the evening of January 30th (the last day of the birding festival) Charlie Corbeil Way will be closed to all public access for the remainder of the work week, and will be reopened on the morning of Saturday, February 4. Charlie Corbeil Way will be closed at a point immediately west of the main entrance to the treatment facility, and Utility Services will coordinate with Duda to insure the public does not bypass barriers by going off-road to the north of Charlie Corbeil Way. No public access will be permitted, whether by foot, bicycle, vehicle, horseback, or otherwise.""
