Sewer Over Septic

Residents can help protect local springs and upgrade their wastewater system for free thanks to Sewer Over Septic grants.

North Monroe Street Sewer and Water Project

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) plans to resurface North Monroe Street from John Knox Road to Thomasville Road in mid to late 2018. Along this corridor, the existing water and sewer mains are 50-60 years old and toward the end of their reliable service life. To ensure the City continues to provide high quality water and sewer service to businesses and residents in this area, the aging underground utilities need be replaced.

To enhance service reliability in the bustling northeast part of our community, two major electric construction projects have been underway.
