OK, so a while ago I made THIS POST to help people determine if the public potable water system is in a neighborhood. Today I got a call from a person who was interested in a property in Briny Breezes which has on-site septic and this is a reason the property cannot be full developed. So where exactly is the sewer line?
First, there’s no single source of information for this.
Next, you need to know where to look. Which service provider services the area you are interested it? So, LOOK AT THIS MAP and see who services the area? Jupiter has the Loxahatchee Environmental Control District for sewer and drainage BUT has the Town of Jupiter for potable water. To the south, Palm Beach Gardens is serviced by Seacoast Utilities (water & sewer) and they have THIS SUPER MAP that shows the location of sewer lines and for new connections actually shows the connections into each property.
If the utility servicing the area does not have a map then you can call the GIS department and you should ask them:
Is the property currently connected to the sanitary sewer system? Is there a sanitary sewer line in front of the subject property? Is there capacity in it such that the subject property may connect to it? What is the fee for a new connection to it? If there’s not one there, then is there one planned?
By the way, there is a much better way to tell if a property is services by city (potable) water and that is also on these web sites but for our area Seacoast also has THIS MAP of potable water lines.
