Central States Utilities plans to double Rolling Oaks water capacity to one million gallons

Water and sewer utility capacity took center stage at the Citrus County Planning and Development Commission Board meeting on April 17, 2025. Officials confirmed that the county has ample capacity to meet current and future demands, a crucial point for local development.

Central States Utilities has recently acquired Rolling Oaks, a move that signals significant investment in the area’s infrastructure. A permit filed in 2022 is also in play, aiming to double the utility's capacity from 500,000 gallons per day to a staggering one million gallons per day. This expansion is set to enhance service delivery and support growth in the region.

The discussions highlighted the importance of proactive planning in accommodating the needs of a growing population. With the completion horizon set for five years, stakeholders are optimistic about the positive impact this expansion will have on local development and community services.

As Citrus County continues to evolve, the commitment to improving water and sewer infrastructure stands as a vital step toward sustainable growth and enhanced quality of life for residents.
