A. Full Legal Name: Valencia Water Control District
B. Public Purpose:Valencia Water Control District (originally Valencia Drainage District) was formed in 1970 under Chapters 298 and 72-291 of Florida Statute. A decree incorporating the Drainage District was issued by the Circuit Court of Orange County in May of 1970.The District’s Plan of Reclamation (also known as Water Management Plan) calls for a controlled storm run-off that will prevent erosion and flooding, minimize water pollution, and maintain groundwater tables for the benefit of the landowners. In order to achieve these goals, several miles of canals, bridges, control structures and other appurtenances have been constructed. The District will accept retention/detention ponds for maintenance in residential areas when constructed to District standards.In 1972, the Board of Supervisors approved a bond issue in the amount of $3.5 million in order to construct the Plan of Reclamation. The bonds were retired on January 15, 1997.
