Public Works

Groveland Main Street Reforestation Project was made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Recently received a stimulus grant for $16,700 for the project that included Irrigation and seventy-one trees which species consist of Crape Myrtle, Dahoon Holly Ct, Southern Magnolia, and Florida Flame Maple. These trees were planted to beautify Main Avenue in downtown Groveland from Orange Avenue (State Road 50) to Swanson Street . We would like to take the time to thank Legacy Scapes for doing a Well Done Job. 

Stormwater
The Public Works Department provides stormwater protection with maintenance and construction of the drainage facilities throughout the city. Street sweeping is provided regularly to insure the reduction or elimination of dirt or leaves that enter the drainage system. Leaves and grass create organics that create algae blooms in out lakes and are not aesthetically pleasant to view and are bad for the aquatic life.

Drainage facilities are man-made structures designed to collect, divert or discharge stormwater such as ditches, culverts, and retention ponds. We routinely clean the ditches and culverts, sweeps the streets and mow the retention ponds to ensure that the city’s stormwater management functions properly. We are currently working on revising our Stormwater Master Plan, however funding for implementation is still being pursued.
