1. UAB Financial Report - March 2026
The City of Winter Park's Utilities Advisory Board is reviewing financial reports for the Water, Wastewater, and Electric utilities. These reports show variances in revenues and expenses, with some revenues, particularly from new construction projects, performing better than budgeted. The electric utility experienced higher fuel costs due to a hard freeze, leading to adjustments in fuel cost recovery rates. The city is also using inventory for an undergrounding program. While this is a financial review, the mention of new construction projects and an undergrounding program suggests potential future work. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in utility infrastructure, construction, or undergrounding projects should monitor future city announcements and engage with city staff early. Understanding the financial performance and ongoing programs can help businesses prepare for potential opportunities as projects are planned and budgets are set.

1. Utility Monthly Performance Measurements
The City of Winter Park's Utilities Advisory Board is reviewing monthly performance measurements for its electric, water, and wastewater utilities. This review includes data on efficiency rates, financial performance, operational metrics like customer service calls and system reliability, and customer assistance programs. The board is examining these reports as management tools to identify areas needing further attention. While no specific construction project is detailed, this ongoing review of utility operations suggests potential future needs for infrastructure upgrades, maintenance, or service enhancements. Businesses involved in utility services, electrical work, plumbing, water systems, and related support services should monitor these performance discussions. Early engagement with city officials or departments overseeing these utilities could provide insights into upcoming projects and opportunities before formal bidding processes begin.

[401 S. Park Avenue] The Utilities Advisory Board meeting on April 28, 2026, will include a review of the March 2026 financial report, staff updates on Electric, Water & Wastewater, Performance Measurement, and an Educational Campaign. The March 24, 2026, meeting minutes were approved. Discussions from the March 24 meeting included an EV charger rate update, electric utility project progress (Project J and R completed, Project S estimated 2028 completion), undergrounding progress (83.76% complete, 2030 target), water and wastewater private lift station ordinance rollout, Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) status, and reclaimed water availability. Optimus is installing new Level 3 chargers at the library and Cady Way. The March 2026 financial report shows negative budget variances for water and wastewater revenues, and electric operating revenues (non-fuel). Electric operating expenses (fuel portion) were over budget due to high January and February fuel costs. Working capital days exceed the minimum requirement for both Water/Wastewater and Electric funds. The fuel cost stabilization fund balance was below the target. The Electric Utility update notes 83.98% of citywide undergrounding is complete, with a 2030 target. Transformer inventory is being reduced. Issues include long lead times for Okonite and Elastimold cables and splices. The Performance Measurement report shows the Electric Utility met its rate comparison goals and undergrounding completion goal, but had a negative variance for bad debt expense. Water and Wastewater met its debt service coverage ratio goals but was below the goal for average percentage of water meters reporting. The Educational Campaign includes a 'Fix It!' community repair workshop on May 30, 2026, at 721 W. New England Ave., and information on the Yellow Hibiscus public art collection and Memorial Day closure.

a. EV Charger Rate Update
The City of Winter Park is reviewing its electric vehicle (EV) charger rates and operations. Originally free, the public EV stations faced issues with monopolization and blocked access, leading to a temporary fee structure. Vendor Optimus has taken over operations, implementing market-based rates for Level 2 and Level 3 chargers, with plans to replace aging Level 2 chargers with Level 3 units. The city is responsible for the cost of transformers, wiring, and labor for new charger installations. Optimus is installing new Level 3 chargers at the library and Cady Way. This review and transition to new rates and equipment represent an early stage in the city's evolving EV infrastructure plan. Businesses involved in electrical contracting, utility infrastructure, and potentially site preparation for new charger installations could find opportunities as these plans move forward.

a. Electric Utility - Jamie England
The City of Winter Park is continuing its undergrounding of electric utility lines. The city is currently 83.76% complete with this initiative, which is planned for completion in 2030. Project S, a part of this larger undergrounding effort, is estimated to be finished by 2028 due to its location in a commercial area. This ongoing project involves significant underground utility work, including trenching, conduit installation, and cable pulling. Contractors specializing in underground utility construction, electrical work, and site restoration may find opportunities as the project progresses. Early engagement with city officials or project managers could provide insight into upcoming phases and potential contract needs before formal bidding processes begin.

b. Water & Wastewater Utility – David Zusi
The City of Winter Park is working on establishing awarded grants and rolling out a new private lift station ordinance. This ordinance will require action from at least 150 private lift station owners. The city is also addressing a delayed Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) from the St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD), which is crucial for water extraction. A significant challenge is the limited availability of reclaimed water, with much of the city's wastewater being sent to other municipalities. The city is requesting a 20-year permit from SJRWMD, which is expected by the end of the year after completing a review process. This project involves regulatory compliance, potential infrastructure needs for reclaimed water, and managing water resources across a 23 square mile service area. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor these developments as they could lead to future work related to water and wastewater infrastructure and compliance.
