Florida Water Resources Conference Program 2025 by Florida Water Resources Journal

Welcome Back!

Dear Water Professionals,

It is with great pleasure I welcome you back to the 2025 Florida Water Resources Conference and the beautiful West Palm Beach Convention Center.

The conference continues to be phenomenally successful due to the record number of attendees, exhibitors and sponsors. Your participation, involvement and support are the key to the success of the conference.

Since last year’s conference at Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida, we have been hard at work to continuously improve the FWRC experience. The FWRC Trustees worked with Mish Agency to uniquely define our brand, ensuring we remain properly focused on growing the experiences and value of the conference. We also launched a new website to improve the ease of finding information and adding more robust content.

We believe that with FWRC hosted by three water associations (FSAWWA, FWEA, FWPCOA), we are able to provide a broad water perspective to attract a diverse audience. Thus, this year’s theme is ‘Connecting Everyone.’ We hope that this diverse audience, programming and experience fosters new solutions, innovations and connections.

Thanks to all the technical paper presenters, moderators and workshop coordinators for sharing your expertise with us. Thank you to the volunteers for assisting with the sessions and helping with registration.

Our thanks are also due to our Trustees and Board Members for their valuable input and feedback as we were planning the conference details.

We hope that FWRC 2025 will be another beneficial event for you. We look forward to seeing you in Daytona Beach in 2026.

Mark Lehigh

Mark Lehigh President, Florida Water Resources Conference Inc.

The Florida Water Resources Conference is a premier annual event that unites three distinguished state water resources associations by providing an inclusive platform to connect, exchange best practices and pioneer innovative solutions to address Florida's water resources challenges.

FWRC serves as Florida’s leading platform for promoting excellence in the water resource industry. Through education, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, our three associations support efforts to implement forward-thinking policies and regulations that protect Florida’s natural resources, safeguard public health, and ensure resilient, long-term sustainability.

WATER AUTHORITY PLANT TOUR

The tour begins at Grassy Waters Preserve, a vital 23-square-mile wetland providing freshwater to West Palm Beach. This remnant of the Everglades that once covered much of this area of the state boasts diverse wildlife and educational programs. Managed by the Watershed Division of the Public Utilities Department, it protects against invasive species and promotes conservation.

Next, the tour moves to the historic water treatment plant, originally built in 1901. Expanded over decades, it now processes nearly 50 MGD, serving 130,000 people. Unique in Florida, this surface water plant combines traditional and modern treatment, including UV disinfection, ensuring high-quality drinking water sourced from Clear Lake.

Those attending the Water Plant Tour should wear closed-toed shoes and bring a hard hat.

The bus leaves promptly at 1:00 pm. TO ALL OF OUR SPONSORS!

Opening remarks by FlaWARN, FDEM and a financial advisor will be followed by interactive breakout groups of 6-8 utility staff per roundtable discussing various topics such as debris management, lift station power, filing claims, etc. Each table takes notes and our committee summarizes them to send to attendees after.

Objective: This workshop will help operational, distribution, collections system, and utility management staff improve continued operations during emergency events with as little disruption as possible to provide continued service to the public.

The workshop format will be structured as follows: Workshop attendance is limited to utility leaders and staff only and is intended to provide a forum for conversation with peers on specific issues encountered and lessons learned during the 2024 hurricane season.

The Florida Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers (FSSSSS) was founded in 1956 by David B. Lee to recognize industry professionals for their outstanding, meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty to the Florida Water Environment Association (FWEA). Nominees must be a FWEA member in good standing at the time of their nomination. This is a society that you cannot join - you "must be selected" by your peers and membership is based on your contribution to the industry.
