b. Nanobubbler Innovation Technology Grant: Barge and Monitoring Buoy

City Commission · 2026-06-10 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park is planning to deploy a nanobubble system and related infrastructure in city waterways. This project is funded by a $2.1 million Florida Department of Environmental Protection Innovation Grant and is a partnership with Rollins College. The goal is to address harmful algal blooms and improve water quality in Lake Virginia. The system will include a barge and monitoring buoys. The project is currently under review and has received approval for the grant partnership. Work will likely involve the installation of the barge and buoy system, potentially including site preparation, utility connections for monitoring equipment, and ongoing maintenance. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before final plans and permits are established.
