Emerald Coast Utilities Authority

The Mission of the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority is to promote the quality of life of the Emerald Coast by providing water, wastewater, and sanitation services in an effective and efficient manner.

ECUA was originally created under the name Escambia County Utilities Authority in 1981 by an Act of the Florida Legislature to own, manage, finance, promote, improve and expand the water and wastewater systems of Escambia County and the City of Pensacola. In 1992, ECUA began offering sanitation services in Escambia County. On June 29, 2004, ECUA's name was officially changed to Emerald Coast Utilities Authority.

ECUA is a local governmental body, existing under the laws of the State of Florida. The powers of ECUA are exercised by a five-member Board. Each Board member is elected in one of the five County electoral districts. Terms are four years and are staggered.
