Central Florida has a plan to close its water gap — 140 projects that could produce way more water than we need by 2045. Reclaimed water, brackish groundwater, aquifer recharge, surface water. The math works. But the report literally says nobody is required to build any of it. They're options. Not mandates. So the solution exists. Whether anyone builds it is a completely different question. Read the CFWI Regional Water Supply Plan at cfwiwater.com.

The aquifer that supplies most of Central Florida's water has a hard limit — 760 million gallons a day. We're already pulling 603. By 2045 we're projected to need 856. That's a 96 million gallon daily shortfall and we're about to add a million and a half more people to this region. The math is not mathing. Full breakdown in the video.

Central Florida's 2025 water supply plan just dropped and there's a lot in here people aren't talking about. 16 springs and wetlands, including Wekiva and Rock Springs, are already below minimum water levels under normal conditions. The aquifer we depend on has a hard ceiling and we're projected to blow past it by 2045. There are 140 projects identified to help close the gap, but nobody is actually required to build any of them. This is part one of a series breaking down the whole report. cfwiwater.com to read it yourself.

“There’s no such thing as ‘just here’ when it comes to water.”

That idea sounds harmless, but it’s completely wrong.
In Central Florida, we all pull from the same connected system. The aquifer doesn’t care about county lines, city limits, or development boundaries. When one area overdraws, every surrounding area feels it—whether that shows up as lower spring flows, stressed wetlands, or long-term supply issues.
The problem is we keep approving growth like water is unlimited and local. It’s not. It’s shared—and it’s already under pressure.
If we don’t start treating it that way, we’re going to run into problems a lot faster than people think.

Jason Brodeur I sure hope it was worth losing your senate seat this election 🤷🏼‍♂️

attack on rural boundaries failed. This type of legislative behavior is pathetic and should he discouraged. Sneaking in an amendment after the committee process makes you a certified b***h boy.

Thank you to everyone that called and emailed about this. And thank you , and for your debate and your advocacy for good governance and legislative process.

Jason Brodeur is disappointed in his constituents for not representing him, as if its not supposed to be the other way around????

Save Rural Seminole
Save Orange County

As ALWAYS, thank you to Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith for always representing your constituents, and being eager to ask the hard questions in debate.

This amendment failed for now. Back to the house for concurrence.

A late amendment filed by Senator Jonathan Martin during the last committee hearing targets the rural boundary protections in Orange and Seminole Counties.
Even more concerning: during that hearing, Martin indicated the amendment could be filed again right before the bill is heard on the Senate floor.
Late amendments like this limit public review and make it harder for communities to understand the full impact before a vote happens.
These rural boundaries exist to protect Central Florida’s remaining rural lands from uncontrolled sprawl.
📞 Call your State Senator
📧 Email your State Senator
Tell them to vote NO on SB 208.
Your voice matters most before the floor vote happens.

⚠️Once a corrupt development-conniving dirtbag, always a corrupt conniving dirtbag.
❓️Did you know that Florida State Senator Jason Brodeur is one of the top ranking scumbags of FLORIDA'S SPRAWL DEVELOPMENT CARTEL❓️

💥EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION INFO BELOW in comment section ⬇️

🌳 From our conservation colleagues at Save Rural Seminole :

After his insane committee speech declaring that he would sell Seminole County residents out and support the amendment destroying our Rural Boundary by declaring it a "per se taking", Brodeur has had meetings in which he has reaffirmed that he believes neither the Seminole nor the Orange Rural Boundary should exist and he fully supports removing them. To add emphasize, his words were "period".

I'm sure Brodeur's longtime friend and former roommate Chris Dorworth is thrilled. He can then bring back his proposed Rivercross development on the edge of the Econ River. But the 82% of Seminole County residents who in 2024 reaffirmed the Rural Boundary at the ballot box are not. Brodeur is spitting in their face.

Brodeur is forever compromised and a lost cause. 💥Instead, flood the rest of our Seminole County delegation's e-mails and voicemails. Demand that they protect us from Jason Brodeur and his developer pals💥

E-mails and phone number are in the comments below.

I support projects like the Toho Reservoir. Diversifying water sources is smart. Surface water and reuse can reduce dependence on groundwater. But the goal should not just be “meeting projected demand.”
The goal should be:
• Reducing groundwater withdrawals
• Improving stressed Minimum Flow Levels
• Rebuilding margin in the aquifer
If alternative supply is used simply to contain impact while pumping stays high, we haven’t solved the problem — we’ve engineered around it. Infrastructure should be paired with measurable reductions in groundwater allocations and a collaborative strategy between utilities, water management districts, and counties to move toward recovery.
We have the engineering tools. The question is how we use them.
