Eatonville’s CWSRF loan of $3.9 million was increased by $0.8 million to $4.7 million including $2.9 million that does not have to be repaid. This project includes replacement of approximately 9,000 feet of gravity sewer lines, 138 service laterals, 40 manholes, and the replacement or rehabilitation of 2 existing lift stations. The work will correct sanitary sewer overflows and back-up sewage flow into homes and will rehabilitate old and deteriorated infrastructure.

Lake Worth to Receive Funding for Drinking Water Infrastructure Improvements

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program recently executed a $568,432 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan to assist the City of Lake Worth with replacing water pipes in their distribution system. Over 17 miles of 2-inch corroded water pipes will be fixed by replacing with them with larger 4-inch piping designed for long-term use. This will provide better quality water to approximately 12,000 residences. It is the first phase of a six phase project expected to be completed over the next five years with a total estimated project cost of $14.8M.

Florida's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) is administered by DEP with joint funding from the EPA and the state of Florida. DWSRF programs operate around the country to provide states and communities the resources necessary to maintain and improve the infrastructure that protects our valuable water resources nationwide. Florida's DWSRF program has awarded more than $273 million in funding for 62 for drinking water improvement projects during the past five years for a total of $925 million in loan funds since its inception in 1998. The program provides low-interest loans to eligible entities for planning, designing and constructing water pollution control facilities.

Funding is Increased for the Haines City Drinking Water Project

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program executed an amendment to an agreement with the Haines City to increase an existing loan from $6.2 million to $6.4 million, of which $5.4 million requires no repayment. This funding will assist the city in constructing an Anionic Ion Exchange treatment system for disinfection byproducts, providing safe drinking water for the residents of this financially-disadvantaged community located in the heart of Polk County. This increase was due to an increase in the DWSRF segment cap on principle forgiveness and to bring the city up to the higher segment cap. DWSRF program is committed to fully funding eligible projects and maximizing funding assistance for disadvantaged communities.

DeFuniak Springs Awarded a $1.8 Million CWSRF Loan

Florida's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) executed a loan agreement with city of DeFuniak Springs for $1,883,445, which includes $792,554 in principal forgiveness (monies that will not need to be repaid). The new construction loan will fund proposed projects including the rehabilitation of nine lift stations, as well as 86 point repairs, needed to improve the integrity of the system by rehabilitating aging and deteriorated wastewater facilities. The rehabilitation of aging and deteriorated wastewater infrastructure, such as lift stations and sewers, will help reduce or eliminate sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) caused by leaks in the system. The quality of the surface water and ground water in the vicinity of these facilities will begin to improve upon completion of this project.

Wildwood to Receive Funding for Drinking Water Infrastructure Improvements

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program recently executed a $151,080 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan to assist the city of Wildwood in the planning and design of a new Floridan well in their northern service area. This is a companion loan to the city’s $500,000 fiscal year 2015-16 legislative appropriation for the project. After planning and design documents have been drafted, the loan will be amended to cover the remainder of the total cost of construction, which is currently estimated at around $1.4 million.

Funding is Increased for the City of Marianna Drinking Water Projects

A Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan agreement with the city of Marianna was amended and an additional $2.9 million will now be available for water infrastructure improvements. This increase will bring the total loan to about $3.1 million to continue funding their dual water main distribution project. The existing loan was a preconstruction loan to help cover the cost of planning and design for this construction phase. The city, with less than 7,000 residents, will not have to repay about $2.7 million of this total loan because it is helping alleviate a public health risk from its Sunland Water System, as well as providing for the removal of the insecticide, dieldrin, in a couple of water supply wells as a short-term solution until the dual main extension project can be completed.

CWSRF Program Executes Loan Agreements with the Jasper and Tavares

Florida's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) executed two loan agreements with the town of Jasper and city of Tavares.

CWSRF executed a planning loan agreement with the town of Jasper for $20,000 that includes $19,012 that does not have to be repaid. The town is currently under a consent order to eliminate the surface water discharge from their wastewater treatment facility. This loan will fund the development of a planning document that will evaluate various alternatives to this surface water discharge.

The program also executed a construction loan agreement with the city of Tavares for $1,697,194. This loan will fund construction of the Downtown Area Storm Water Treatment Improvements project that will convert an existing wetland area into a stormwater pond. Construction will consist of 2,300 linear feet of 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe along Ruby Street, and two 30-inch control structures for discharge into Lake Dora.

CWSRF Program Executes Loan Agreements with the Cities of Springfield and Hallandale Beach

Florida's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) executed two loan agreements with city of Springfield and city of Hallandale Beach.

The city of Springfield received a design loan agreement for $919,000 to fund the preparation of the plans and specifications and bid documents as well as costs associated with obtaining any necessary permits. The project is for the rehabilitation of portions of the existing collection system and the construction of new wastewater collection and transmission facilities. The primary purpose of the proposed project is to reduce the amount of infiltration and inflow (I/I) entering into the city’s collection system.

The city of Hallandale Beach received a planning loan agreement for $550,000 to conduct a sanitary sewer evaluation study. This study will identify the various sources of I/I in the collection system and will be used to rehabilitate or replace equipment in areas where the I/I is excessive. Treatment for Hallandale’s wastewater is provided by the city of Hollywood. Reducing the amount of I/I will reduce the flow to Hollywood, thereby reducing Hallandale Beach’s costs.
