Septic to Sewer Conversion Program

Our goal is to connect homes and businesses currently on septic systems to the city’s wastewater collection and treatment system. Reducing and eliminating septic systems is one way we can proactively improve the health of our local waterways.

This project will create a large shallow‑water storage system at McCarty Ranch Preserve to divert and store excess canal and rainfall water, reducing harmful freshwater discharges into the North Fork of the St. Lucie River.

These initiatives highlight the City’s ongoing projects and programs, such as septic-to-sewer conversions, stormwater improvements, and regional partnerships, aimed at protecting waterways, reducing pollution and supporting long‑term environmental resilience.
