Fort Pierce Utilities Authority

🚨 Exciting News for Fort Pierce! 🚨 Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) has been awarded a $10 million Water Quality Improvement Grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as part of Governor Ron DeSantis’ initiative to protect Florida’s water resources! 🌊💙 This funding will support the relocation of our existing island wastewater treatment plant to the new Mainland Water Reclamation Facility (MWRF)—a move that will enhance water quality, protect the Indian River Lagoon, and improve service for our community. 🔹 Why This Matters: ✅ Reduces environmental impact on the Indian River Lagoon ✅ Upgrades aging infrastructure with advanced technology ✅ Improves system resilience and reliability ✅ Ensures a cleaner, more sustainable future for Fort Pierce 💬 “This is more than just a construction project—it’s a legacy of environmental stewardship,” said FPUA CEO/Director of Utilities Javier Cisneros. We’re grateful to Governor DeSantis, our local and state leaders, and our community partners for their support in securing nearly $70 million in grant funding for this transformational project! 📢 Stay Informed: 🔗 Learn more about this project: https://lnkd.in/ecJ2pngE 🔗 Read about the grant program: https://lnkd.in/e9X7b8mX Together, we’re building a cleaner, stronger Fort Pierce! 🌿💧 #FPUA #WaterQuality #SustainableFuture #IndianRiverLagoon #FortPierce #EnvironmentalStewardship #CommunityInvestment
