Septic to Sewer Project

 Wekiwa Springs

The Wekiwa Springs Septic to Sewer Program, which was restarted by me during my first term as Commissioner, is a vital step towards safeguarding Florida’s precious water resources, demonstrating my commitment to both environmental stewardship, our local tourist industry and community health. By transitioning nearly 2000 homes from outdated, failing septic systems to a modern sewer infrastructure, we are not only reducing nitrogen and phosphorus pollution but also fostering a cleaner, healthier environment for our residents and their businesses. This initiative reflects my dedication to innovative solutions and collaborative efforts with city, county, state and federal authorities that ensure a sustainable future for Apopka, where our natural beauty thrives for generations to come.
