GROVELAND, Fla. — The City of Groveland is moving forward with two projects designed to improve reclaimed water pressure and increase supply in the city’s northern service area.
The work addresses challenges from high demand, growth, and Groveland’s higher elevations—an unusual factor for Florida communities. The Wilson Lake Parkway corridor, including Cascades at Trilogy, can experience shortages of reclaimed water during peak times.
The city says it takes treated wastewater from about four homes to supply one Trilogy lawn.
A new well is nearing completion and will provide additional water when the reclaimed supply is depleted. The $1.8 million project is 50% state-funded and is expected to be finished in early 2027.
A second project is the upgrade of the pumping system at the Sunshine Reclaimed Water Facility. The new, higher-capacity pumps are intended to increase pressure and improve flow throughout the system.
Construction is underway, with completion expected next summer.
The pumping-system upgrade represents an investment of about $4 million and is being funded through a low-interest state loan. The city secured two new contractors after the previously selected contractor withdrew from both projects.
Groveland officials say the improvements will help provide more reliable service to residents, businesses and visitors as the city continues to grow.
