The Clay County Utility Authority was created for the basic purpose of providing of water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utility service to the unincorporated areas of Clay County. One of the founding principles of the Clay County Utility Authority is the desire to operate, to the extent possible, the publicly owned utility using the sound business practices of private enterprise. We are charged with the responsibility of providing our customers with the best long-term value at the lowest possible cost.
A second founding principal is the desire to lead the way in improving the quality of our environment. We recognize our responsibility to be good stewards of our environment. We have voluntarily invested in the technology and infrastructure needed to improve our environment.
To date, we are one of the only utilities in Northeast Florida using advanced wastewater treatment techniques. In addition, we have initiated a reclaimed water system comprised of three storage and pumping plants (soon to be four), which conserves an average of 1.353 million gallons per day of our drinking water.
Our accomplishments have been acknowledged by our receipt of twenty-five awards over the past few years, varying from “Excellence of Operations” for both our water and wastewater systems to our recent receipt of the “Municipal Water Use Efficiency” award for the most innovative and effective reclamation and reuse program for the Southeastern United States, Region Four, presented by the Environmental Protection Agency.
We assure you that we will always carry out our mission in the most efficient and effective manner possible. We will seek a long range vision that provides conservation and environmental benefits, while providing the best water and wastewater values in Northeast Florida.
