Supplemental Agenda Items - FGUA

Water and Wastewater Management
GSG has secured and managed
federal, state and local grant and loan
funds for the FGUA. GSG led the effort
that resulted in both Round 1 and
Round 2 federal stimulus grants
totaling more than $50 million for
broadband deployment in economically
disadvantaged communities. In total,
that geographic area covers more than
40 percent of Florida.
GSG is uniquely experienced and
positioned to identify and pursue
funding for its member governments.
FGUA and its operations team collectively and presently own, manage and/or operate
more than 108 MGD of drinking water facilities and more than 24.84 MGD of
wastewater facilities.
FGUA currently owns and operates seven water and wastewater systems in three
Florida counties.
Already serving more than 80,000 customers, FGUA’s latest water and wastewater
acquisition is at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, home of U.S. Central Command,
which manages military operations in the Middle East.
• The U.S. Department of Defense solicited more than 750 proposals for the
MacDill system before choosing FGUA.
• More than 1 million gallons of drinking water is distributed, and 400,000 gallons
of wastewater is treated every day.
• The 50-year agreement is worth more than $200 million.
Current FGUA Systems
Once the MacDill Air Force Base acquisition is complete, FGUA will directly own seven
systems, adding a $17.7 million purchase to those it has acquired over the last 11
years for a total of $321 million. This will bring its total connections to 43,600 water
and 45,800 wastewater customers.
