Wekiva River Basin

Our Mission

There are 2.5 million septic systems in Florida. 55,000 of them are located in the Wekiva Study Area (WSA), a geographic area the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) carved out of Central Florida. In 2009, homeowners and homeowner associations in the WSA united to fight a FDOH rule that forced homeowners to install expensive and complex performance based treatment sytems (PBTS). We also fought a legislative effort that essentially applied the same wastewater treatment solution throughout the state. We know now that the Wekiva Area issues were merely a test of a much larger, legislative and multi-agency effort to impose what we believe are unnecessary, unrealistic, unachievable and economically devastating wastewater standards on Florida’s residents and municipalities.
 
It’s a complex issue we will try to simplify for you. Use this website to find out more. We need you to get involved, get informed, and join the grassroots effort to protect your property rights, your business, and your quality of life.
