Construction is underway on a $25-million water treatment plant in Groveland, Fla., that will expand the city’s drinking water capacity and add a new source to its water system.
The Villa City Water Treatment Plant will be the City of Groveland’s sixth water treatment and wellhead location. The project is fully funded through a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The facility will draw water from two wells in the lower aquifer, marking the first time Groveland has used that water source for its drinking water system.
The new wells will diversify the city’s water supply while providing additional system capacity and redundancy. The project is also intended to improve water quality and the system’s ability to withstand disruptions and meet future demand.
Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2028.
The project comes as Groveland continues to add residential and commercial development, increasing demand for water and other municipal infrastructure.
