Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Seminole County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
2 issues in water utilities with high priority
Sewer and Water Infrastructure Investments
The county's utilities need about $855 million over 20 years — over half just to replace aging pumps, pipes, and plants. The Greenwood Lakes wastewater plant fix got a big state loan boost: $19.2 million with half forgiven.
Utilities Department Office Building Purchase
The county is spending $3.7 million (utility fund money, not taxes) to buy an office for Utilities, whose current leased building has black mold. Commissioner Dallari raised questions about cost per square foot, but the board voted unanimously after discussion.
