The City of Winter Springs is preparing to issue subpoenas of 11 former city commissioners, city staff and engineering consultants to find out what went wrong on a $3.5 million reusable water plant on Lake Jesup that has caused it to rarely be operable.
The Commission voted unanimously Aug. 9 to move forward with issuing subpoenas.
“We’ve got to figure out what all took place so that we can make sure it never happens again, and fix processes,” Commissioner Kevin Cannon said.
The Commission, city staff and City Attorney Anthony Garganese are preparing a meeting on Sept. 20 to officially launch the investigation into who knew what about the crippled water plant that was built in 2013 and was expected to deliver 1 million gallons of irrigation water per day to the city.
