Hello Friends of Locally Owned Water fans!    We have grown into a statewide organization to fight Aqua and are now known as FLOW Florida.  Our website is under construction, but check it out:  http://www.FlowFlorida.com.  We hope to use the website as an “Aqua Watch” tool (think “Community Watch”).  We want your help as the means for keeping an eye on Aqua’s activities.  You can post comments directly to the website or send email to me at:  ksullivan@flowflorida.com.  Check out the website for the latest news.  Check out latest TV coverage at:  http://www.wftv.com/countybycounty/22911922/detail.html  The PSC on March 16th voted to continue monitoring the quality of Aqua’s customer service. Be sure to report your water problems to Aqua by phone at:  800-987-2782; or email:  custserv@aquaamerica.com.    FLOW Florida wants to achieve quality water at reasonable rates.  We hope you will join the fight! Please pass this on to your friends and neighbor on Aqua water.   Warm regards, Kelly Sullivan flowflorida.com

Rain Barrels

A rain barrel collects and stores up to 55 gallons of rain water from your roof top. This water can later be used to water your garden, lawn or potted plants. The water normally would flow through your downspout and drain off of your property into the storm drains. This water can reduce your municipal or well water usage, save money, and decrease stormwater pollution. Read more »

Bike Trails

bikingAs flat as Florida is, there are some good mountain bike trails around.  In fact, in the Chuluota area there are good hiking, biking, and paddling trails.  Plenty of excuses to get out and enjoy the scenery.  Don’t believe me?  Check out this cute YouTube video of a great bike trail in the Little-Big Econ State Forest.
