The City of Tampa applied to the Conservation Education Program through the Southwest Florida Water Management District to request educational signage and Florida-Friendly plant giveaways aimed at increasing residential awareness of efficient landscape and irrigation practices to reduce outdoor water use and to expand community-based educational programming opportunities.

The plant giveaways will be purchased through the Southwest Florida Water Management District for distribution by the City of Tampa to residents.
The City of Tampa will submit project deliverables, including event reach numbers, event photos, annual reach numbers, and sign photos.

Background
The McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility must urgently replace its obsolete Selective Non Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) urea injection system, which is essential for NOx emissions control and Title V Air Permit compliance. The system relies on discontinued hardware and software, with no replacement parts available, creating an imminent and unpredictable risk of failure that could force unit curtailment, require costly waste diversion, and result in regulatory violations.
Emergency procurement reduces the lead time to approximately 32 weeks, whereas the standard process would take more than a year—longer than the system is expected to remain operational. An emergency affidavit has been executed to ensure timely replacement and maintain compliance and operational continuity.
Immediate replacement is necessary to avoid system failure, protect regulatory compliance, maintain uninterrupted operations, reduce potential waste diversion costs, and prepare for future NOx limits. The replacement cost for the SNCR system is $2,198,100.
This resolution provides $2,198,100 for the McKay Bay WTE Urea Injection System Upgrade Project by reallocating $520,600 from McKay Bay WTE Lime Silo Refurbishment Project, $777,500 from the McKay Bay WTE Carbon Silo Refurbishment Project, and $900,000 from the McKay Bay WTE Bull Nose & Water Wall Tube Replacement Project within the Solid Waste Capital/Construction Fund.

Financial impact
The revenue received from implementing the 4-year increase of the water and wastewater capacity fees will fund capital expenditures for providing water and wastewater capacity for new development.
- The projected amount will be determined based upon usage.
Background
Water and wastewater capacity fees are like impact fees in that they require payment on new development or redevelopment within the City. Development impacts affect the capacity of both plants and the water distribution and wastewater collections system.
The City last updated the capacity fees in 2020 which included: Initiated the payment of water capacity fees, Reduction of the wastewater capacity fees, Established a capacity fee of $0.00 for qualified affordable housing units, and Requirement to review the capacity fees every five years.
The City has engaged the Raftelis firm to conduct the capacity fee study. Based on their analysis, the City is recommending limiting the proposed increases to no greater than 50% of the current fee and phasing it in over a four-year implementation schedule starting on March 1, 2027.
City staff along with Raftelis presented the City’s findings and recommendation to the development community on February 18, 2026. Public hearings before City Council to present the proposed capacity fee increase ordinance are scheduled for April 2, 2026 and May 7, 2026.
