"Lake Worth Receives Funding for Drinking Water Infrastructure"

You can find the news below and more on the City's website and for more about work being done look in the right-hand column for "City's water/electric meter replacement project" or use this link.

     "The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program recently executed a $568,432 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan to assist the City of Lake Worth with replacing water pipes in their distribution system. Over 17 miles of 2″ corroded water pipes will be fixed by replacing with them with larger 4″ piping designed for long-term use. This will provide better quality water to approximately 12,000 residences. It is the first phase of a six phase project expected to be completed over the next five years with a total estimated project cost of $14.8M.
     Florida's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection with joint funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Florida."
