Water makes up 40% of Seminole County, with roughly 200 miles of rivers and streams, and three sides of the county bordered by waterways, water is essential to the county’s identity as Florida’s Natural Choice.
Seminole County as Florida’s Natural Choice has always placed the protection of water resources as one of its top priorities. In 2021 the Board of County Commissioners set the implementation of a Holistic Water Policy as a Key Strategic Priority to protect and preserve water resources within Seminole County.
The Holistic Water Policy (HWP) will create sustainable long-term solutions to water challenges by shifting perspectives on water management and viewing all water as one water. This can be achieved by protecting limited water resources, enhancing the environment, and advancing community knowledge about how groundwater, potable water, wastewater, reclaimed water, surface water and stormwater are all connected. The goals within the HWP are focused on creating sustainable and resilient water resources in Seminole County, today and for future generations to come.
