The City of Lake Worth’s Water Utility update post-Hurricane Irma.

“Water Utility Dir. Brian Shields, P.E., provides key details to the community on how the City’s infrastructure was fully prepared for Hurricane Irma.”



To learn more about Lake Worth Water Utilities use this link. Along with “Useful Links”, “Permitting Agencies”, and contact information there is also a helpful Q&A as well on this City website. For example:

Will Lake Osborne Estates* (LOE) residents be charged the same water service rates as residents who actually reside within the City’s municipal bounds?
“As you are aware, the City already provides bulk water to LOE through a master meter to Lake Osborne Waterworks. LOE would be charged the same rates as all customers served outside the City limits, which includes a 25% surcharge, consistent with City policy. Depending on usage, it is anticipated that LOE residents with average usage will see no noticeable change or slight reduction in their water bill. The City does have tiered, conservation-based rates that discourage excessive usage.”

*LOE is located outside the City of Lake Worth in what’s called suburban Lake Worth (unincorporated PBC); in the map below that would be the area in white west of Lake Worth and east of the Great Walled City of Atlantis.

Note the Zip Codes. The actual City of Lake Worth is 33460 and a small part of 33461.

Stay tuned for news about enclaves, County ‘pockets’, and annexations as more of the public in suburban Lake Worth learn about the benefits of becoming “incorporated” into a municipality.
