The City of Gulf Breeze is excited to announce that its Septic to Sewer Conversion Project has been listed as a preferred project within the region. This project aims to convert septic systems to a modern sewer system, benefiting both the City of Gulf Breeze and the unincorporated area of Santa Rosa County. The Florida Trustee Implementation Group has released its Draft Restoration Plan 3 and Environmental Assessment: Water Quality, which includes thirteen projects totaling $111,482,000.

Upon approval, the city would be awarded $12.8 million for projects within the incorporated limits and $6 million for a project outside the city limits served by the Gulf Breeze Regional Water System.  The City Council approved the Septic to Sewer Conversion project in 2019 with an initial estimate of $16 million.   The program is underway with projects in the Highpoint area, the Montrose & Navy Cove, Florida & Dolphin Streets, and the Bay Cliffs Area.

The draft plan is available at Draft Restoration Plan 3 and Environmental Assessment: Water Quality.   Public comments will be received online at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/FLTIGRP3  or during the public webinar to be held on March 27.   Registration for the public webinar can be found at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8172353705750284118.   Citizens and customers are encouraged to provide your input on the draft plan.
