South Florida Water Management District Approves Final Agreement with U.S. Army Corps, Reservoir Component to Start Construction This Year.
Wellington, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis was joined by Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Noah Valenstein and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to announce significant progress on the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Reservoir Project.
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is recommending residents and businesses in Florida's Lower West Coast practice water conservation measures to protect the region's aquifers. In Florida, most of the fresh water we use comes from underground aquifers.
The S-131 Boat Lock near Lakeport is temporarily closed effective immediately due to required maintenance and repairs. SFWMD will notify the public when the boat lock is reopened. All other navigational locks maintained by the South Florida Water Management District on Lake Okeechobee remain operational.
Join the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for several upcoming public meetings. For a full list of all upcoming meetings, check out our Meeting Calendar. Meeting agendas are available at least seven days in advance.
