Wildwood Utility Dependent District

The Wildwood Utility Dependent District (WUDD) was established pursuant to Chapter 189 of Florida State Statutes And the City of Wildwood Ordinance O2021-16 on March 22, 2021 and the Amended City of Wildwood Ordinance 2021-44 on August 23, 2021.

WUDD consists of a five-member Board of Supervisors, serving in staggered terms. The initial members of the Board were appointed by the City of Wildwood, and will subsequently be elected by qualified electors following expiration of the terms of office.

The Wildwood Utility Dependent District was created to provide water, wastewater, reclaimed water, and non-potable irrigation water services to certain properties in The Villages. In October 2021, WUDD purchased the South Sumter Utility (SSU) which provides both potable water and wastewater services to approximately 7,825 homes located in Districts 12, 13 and a portion of District 14.

In March 2021, the system was approximately 65% completed and is anticipated to be finished in 2024. At completion the system is projected to be comprised of 181 miles of an interconnected network of pressurized water mains.

SSU is regulated by the Southwest Florida Water Management District for water use and is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Orlando Office, for water and wastewater treatment and distribution.

As a governmental entity in the State of Florida, the Wildwood Utility Dependent District is held to the same high standards as cities and counties as it pertains to Sunshine Law, Public Records Law, Financial Reporting and Financial Disclosure Laws. Additionally, the Board of Supervisors adheres to Florida Statute Chapter 112, Part III - Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees.
