Today in Crystal River, I was proud to announce $100 million for springs restoration and alternative water supply projects throughout Florida. This funding will support: ✔️ 23 Springs Restoration Grants to protect the quality and quantity of water that flows from our freshwater springs. ✔️ 22 Alternative Water Supply Grant projects to help communities plan for and implement water conservation, reuse, and supply projects. Since 2019, my administration has invested over $430 million in 147 springs restoration projects across Florida. These projects have reduced total nitrogen pollution by an estimated 930,000 pounds annually, helping improve water quality and protect the ecosystems that sustain our springs. Florida’s freshwater springs are among our state’s most treasured natural resources. We have a responsibility to protect these resources for future generations.
