The Haines City Water Control District, originally established as the Haines City Drainage District Number 1, is an independent special district operating under Florida Statutes. Its primary purpose is to maintain a drainage ditch that runs alongside U.S. Highway 27 in Haines City, Florida, and Polk County, ensuring the availability and habitability of the lands within the district for settlement and agriculture.
The district holds annual public hearings to consider the adoption of non-ad valorem assessments as part of its budget process, aiming to generate sufficient revenue for water control and planning activities, as well as the creation of reserves. By managing water through canals, ditches, levees, and other control works, the district strives to facilitate comprehensive water management and development of the lands within its jurisdiction.
