The
Englewood Water District is a political subdivision of
the State of Florida, codified by Chapter 2004-439 Laws
of Florida. This Law is commonly known as the
Enabling
Act.
The District
encompasses approximately 44.5 square miles in Southern
Sarasota County and Western Charlotte County. There are three (3) fresh water and two (2) brackish
water wellfields. This raw water is treated at either
the lime softening treatment plant or the reverse
osmosis treatment plant. The finished waters are mixed
and sent into the distribution system.
The District also operates a 3.0 MGD Water Reclamation
Facility to take care of the sanitary sewer needs of the
area. As of November 2008 82% of all water customers
also receive sewer service.
