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
