While SERCAP was founded in Virginia in 1969, the agency expanded its service region into seven (7) southeastern states in the mid-1990s. Currently, SERCAP’s Florida Team is based out of Gainesville, FL, and serves the entire state.
SERCAP's Regional Program provides training, technical, and financial assistance to rural communities, water/wastewater treatment facilities, public and private utilities, public service authorities (PSAs), planning district commissions (PDCs), etc. to support water/wastewater infrastructure projects, community development, and economic development. SERCAP's technical assistance (TA) helps rural communities and water/wastewater systems to build capacity, become self-sustaining, and achieve or maintain compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
In addition to the typical training and technical assistance (TA) provided throughout SERCAP’s seven states, the Florida Team receives additional funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to further support application assistance and other tasks for Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, Community Facilities, and other critical projects across the state of Florida.
SERCAP’s Regional Projects especially focus on supporting small communities with populations under 10,000 residents.
