What the Data Shows in Alachua County

The trailing 12 month FDEP public notice record for Alachua County holds 7 sanitary sewer releases and 51,000 gallons of reported release volume. Alachua County lands at number 30 of 38 counties for reported volume. The single largest event in the window released 18,000 gallons. Alachua County last appeared in the notice record on August 13, 2026. Alachua County reports often enough to justify a documented condition baseline. Alachua County carries a mixed vintage, 35.7% of its 125,702 housing units dating to before 1980 in US Census ACS housing age estimates. The estimated median Alachua County structure is 41 years old. That split makes Alachua County work uneven, with older cores needing sanitary sewer rehabilitation and newer tracts only pipeline cleaning.

Trailing 12 month rainfall over Alachua County came in light at 28.1 inches, on 83% NOAA station coverage. Light rainfall suppresses reported events, so the Alachua County record reads as a floor. Alachua County shows clear of active Clean Water Act enforcement in EPA ECHO, with no imposed timeline. Because Alachua County lies in Northeast Florida, the fair comparison set is Baker and Bradford counties. Statewide capability reaches Alachua County, with crews mobilized to the county and held until the work is documented.
