Managing Resources<br />
The <strong>FGUA</strong> currently provides water and wastewater services to more than 80,000<br />
customers around Florida. It has and is managing more than $286 million in capital<br />
projects, including $149 million in water supply facilities and $137 million in<br />
wastewater facilities.<br />
<strong>FGUA</strong> delivers 11.1 million gallons of drinking water daily and treats 7.75 million<br />
gallons of wastewater.<br />
The <strong>FGUA</strong>’s versatile structure provides a distinct advantage to its customers. More<br />
than a private-sector company, <strong>FGUA</strong>’s public purpose is to provide services to the<br />
citizens of its member governments. Because those governments continue to have<br />
a say in facilities management, as well as the rates, charges and services they<br />
want, residents are assured any and all concerns will be addressed. There is local<br />
accountability while economies of scale are leveraged.<br />
<strong>FGUA</strong> is staffed by contract services. That means that each individual system can call<br />
on the contracted expertise available throughout the United States. <strong>FGUA</strong> contracting<br />
firms can call upon an extensive pool of manpower and expertise, yet are Floridafocused<br />
and understand the specific needs and challenges of communities in our<br />
state.<br />
Government Services Group<br />
(GSG) provides management<br />
services for the <strong>FGUA</strong>. As<br />
system manager, these<br />
services include general utility<br />
management, board clerk<br />
support, financial<br />
administration, operations<br />
oversight, capital program<br />
management, inspection<br />
services, communications and<br />
customer advocacy as well as all specialized consultant coordination. It has<br />
successfully managed all $447.4 million in acquisition, sales and refinancing<br />
transactions.<br />
GSG’s Municipal Services Division, which manages the <strong>FGUA</strong>, boasts more than<br />
100 years of combined experience in all areas of water and wastewater utilities.<br />
With additional experience in city and county management – again more than 100<br />
years worth – the <strong>FGUA</strong> team understands the unique constraints and advantages of<br />
government service.<br />
