# Florida DEP Funds Winter Springs Reclamation Facility

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is providing nearly $74 million through a low-interest Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan and a state water-quality assistance grant to support the City of Winter Springs’ East Water Reclamation Facility. The 1.6-million-gallon-per-day project, which held its groundbreaking on July 21, 2026, includes advanced nutrient-removal treatment and stormwater infrastructure. The announcement identifies no solicitation, construction awardee, or future procurement schedule, so it signals funded infrastructure work rather than a confirmed open bidding opportunity.

- The combined state financing supports construction of a wastewater treatment facility and related stormwater systems in Winter Springs.
- Water infrastructure contractors and suppliers may find the project relevant to treatment technology, nutrient removal, and stormwater work; the announcement does not identify specific contracting packages or award recipients.
- Businesses should distinguish the announced project funding from a solicitation and use the City of Winter Springs’ and Florida DEP’s procurement channels for any separately announced bid opportunities.
