This letter is to let you know about the emergency repairs that will start this month and run through early
next year. The emergency repairs include adding new screens to keep debris out of the plants, removing
old debris that has built up in the plants, making metal repairs to the tanks and adding new aeration
equipment. The City has contracted with two of the best engineering firms in the country to oversee this
work!
This work by its nature is going to create periodic loud noises,an occasional bad odor and increase truck
traffic on some roads. These cannot be avoided but we plan to try and minimize the times they occur. If
you notice a prolonged episode of noise,odor or traffic. Please call us at 407-327-1800. We want to know
about the time, nature of the problem and duration. That way we can figure what it was and try to remedy
the nuisance.
The end result of all this work should be a plant that smells less, is quieter and produces wastewater that is
cleaner for the environment. Please monitor the City web site at www.winterspringsfl.org/waterworks.
Periodic updates will be provided.
