At last, wastewater plant upgrade at Oceanfront Park — The aging wastewater treatment plant at Boynton Beach’s Oceanfront Park is expected to have its long-delayed upgrade finished within the next few months.
The project, initially approved a decade ago, is expected to make wastewater treatment at the site more reliable and resilient.
The City Commission approved extending the project deadline, with the grant closeout scheduled for September 2027. The new deadline will give the city more time to secure a grant reimbursement to cover some of the cost.
The plant, built in 1982, needed improvements to be able to treat wastewater more effectively. In 2016, the City Commission entered into a $300,000 grant agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to rehabilitate and modernize it.
City documents do not disclose the total cost of the project, but most of the grant funds will cover construction services.
