Some neighborhoods located within the watershed of the Loxahatchee River continue to use septic systems for wastewater treatment and disposal. The Loxahatchee River District proposes to continue the sewer installation program, whereby homes in these neighborhoods are connected to the regional sanitary sewer. In preparation for these future phases, the District commissioned a special consultant to prioritize neighborhoods for providing sewer service. The priorities resulting from this effort will be used as the blueprint for the continuation of the neighborhood sewer installation program. To read or view the study, click here.
While other issues such as finance and governmental coordination may modify the order of construction, the priorities shown below outline the proposed schedule for future sewer installations:

Construction Information
One of the most critical tasks has been the elimination of septic tanks in our region, which pose a dangerous threat to the environment. To date, nearly 60,000 homes in our service area are on the regional sewer system, and we are working to develop sewer installation programs for the remaining neighborhoods located in the urban areas.
