The FGUA: Your Water Source


Welcome to the Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA). We are committed to bringing our customers—including cities, counties and the water end-users—the best service and highest quality water in Florida.

We provide drinking water and wastewater service and infrastructure to various counties in Florida. By joining the FGUA, these counties have pooled their resources to bring citizens the best of both worlds: private-sector functionality with public-sector commitment and experience.

The main systems of the FGUA are Golden Gate and Lehigh Acres. Depending on where you live, your water and wastewater come from one of these systems.

For up-to-date emergency & general information about your water system, contact your Community Service Representative

Lehigh Acres and Golden Gate Utility Systems Receive Grant
The Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) has been awarded a $17,500.00 Water Savings Incentive Program (WaterSIP) Grant from the South Florida Water Management District for Fiscal Year 2009. The FGUA will apply the grant to the Dead End Mains Automatic Flushing Program for Lehigh Acres and Golden Gate.

Automatic flushing devices are used on water mains that terminate in a dead end. Without the device, the utility flushes the main using the closest fire hydrant to the end of the water line. This practice consumes substantial time and flushing must occur a few times a month. The automatic flushing devices use substantially less water and staff time since they are programmed to flush a small amount of water each day to achieve the desired chlorine residual level. The flushing program ensures customers receive high quality drinking water.

The FGUA submitted the grant application in April, 2008. The South Florida Water Management District notified FGUA they were awarded the grant in a letter dated August 22, 2008. This is the second grant that SFWMD has awarded FGUA, the first grant was for construction of a capital improvement project in Golden Gate.

For more information about the Dead End Mains Automatic Flushing Program, please contact the FGUA Operations Office at 407-629-6900.
