BACKGROUND:
During the 2026 Florida Legislative Session, the City requested $550,000 in state appropriations funding for the Northeast Utilities Expansion Project. The project includes the design and construction of water and wastewater system improvements north of Hillsboro Boulevard, between Lyons Road and NW 39 Avenue, to expand system capacity, serve existing development, and enable septic-to-sewer conversions, improving public health, groundwater protection, and long-term utility reliability.
State Representative Christine Hunschofsky and State Senator Tina Polsky supported and advocated for the City’s request, and the project was awarded the full $550,000 requested. Funding for this project has been included in the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget
