Sen. Lori Berman and Rep. Lindsay Cross filed bills (SB 978 and HB 861) ahead of the 2025 Legislative Session that would direct the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to compile a comprehensive list of wastewater treatment facilities, where those facilities are located in relation to storm surge or flood zones, treatment levels, whether they have spilled sewage in the past and the health of surrounding water bodies.
The list would allow the state to develop priority rankings of facility needs and how resources can best support infrastructure upgrades and help guide policy and funding decisions now and into the future.
