Comprehensive Sewerage Plan. Part 1. Data Summary: Public Sewerage Systems
Expenditure of nearly $3,000,000 annually ranks Palm Beach County fifth out of 67 Florida counties in total construction of public sewerage facilities. Public sewerage facilities include 115 separate systems in Palm Beach County, 34 of which are considered expandable. Septic tank or other private systems serve nearly 20% of the county population. Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Palm Beach, and soon Boca Raton discharge sewage into the Atlantic Ocean through ocean outfalls which extend to the edge of the Gulf Stream. Approximately 10.5 million gallons of sewerage system effluent discharges each day into the county's fresh water resources. Thirteen sewerage systems discharge effluent into Lake Worth or the Intracoastal Waterway. Clusters of small, privately-owned sewerage systems and septic tank areas indicate the need for additional public sewer construction. Municipal and private utility companies operate the public sewerage systems. The Florida Public Service Commission and/or the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners grant and control franchises of the 25 private sewerage utility companies in the county. (Author)
