Cypress Lake Alternative Water Supply

Investing for the Future 

At Toho Water, we deeply care about our community. To ensure we always have a reliable supply of clean, delicious water for every customer, we are partnering on an innovative new project: tapping into the Lower Floridan Aquifer. Located nearly 1,000 feet below ground, this alternative water supply will ensure our region's long-term sustainability.

This amazing source of water will be treated at our new, state-of-the-art reverse osmosis treatment facility at Cypress Lake. Once complete, it will provide fresh, potable water to approximately 350,000 Central Florida residents every single day. Best of all, by sourcing from this deeper aquifer to meet future demands, we are actively protecting and preserving the Upper Floridan Aquifer that Central Florida has historically relied on for water.

Project Phases & Capacity 

The Cypress Lake water treatment facility will be constructed in two distinct phases:

• Phase I: Planned for completion in 2030, this will establish an initial capacity of 15–17 million gallons per day (this would be enough water to keep Spaceship Earth -- a.k.a the Epcot Ball -- continually filled!) 
• Phase II: Still in planning, phase two will reach a total capacity of 30–34 million gallons per day (to put this in perspective, that’s enough water to cover 34 football fields with three feet of water every day!)
