Your City maintains high treatment standards to provide safe clean drinking water to customers. Regulatory Agencies, like the Department of Environmental Protection and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) adopted rigorous protocols for water and wastewater treatment to ensure high quality water to safeguard the environment.
A tiered rate structure is used for water consumption to encourage conservation so less water is taken from the aquifer. Regulatory Agencies encourage the use of tiered rate structures as an incentive for customers to conserve. Protecting the environment and public health and safety is a responsibility of the community. Maintaining high standards impacts costs that we all share in benefits:
- Quality drinking water and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment increases property values.
- Fire rating remains the lowest in the county which is a cost savings on homeowner insurance
