GRU

The Gainesville Regional Utilities Authority held its monthly meeting Wednesday, its first since the Florida First District Court of Appeal ruled in favor of continuing the authority’s control of GRU despite the city of Gainesville’s efforts to reclaim control.

Gainesville Regional Utilities is conducting an inventory of its water service lines to ensure none are made of lead following recent rule changes by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

That comes after months of pushback and a lawsuit from Gainesville residents questioning the governor’s ability to appoint board members who don’t live within the city.

A variety of scenarios relying on solar power and batteries are now under consideration for future power generation by the Gainesville Regional Utilities board.
