Health alert lifted following sewage spill in Lake Worth Beach in April

Lake Worth Beach has implemented a cutting-edge outage maintenance system, which was explained by Assistant Director of Systems Operations, Jason Bailey. The system aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of addressing outages in the area.

The recent sewage spill near the intersection of the L-10 Canal and Florida Mango Road prompted a health advisory for surface water bodies in Lake Worth Beach. This was due to a 36-inch subregional wastewater force main being damaged by a contractor for AT&T on April 12th.

Following the spill, a no-swim advisory and no-irrigation order were issued for several waterways until repairs were completed by Lake Worth Beach Water Utilities crews and emergency contractors. Recent testing by the city and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection confirmed that water quality in the affected areas now meets standards for fecal-indicator bacteria.

The initial health alert was in place near the L-10 Canal and Florida Mango intersection, just north of 10th Ave North. A week later, the alert was partially lifted for multiple water bodies in the area. Residents with concerns about the health effects of wastewater overflow can reach out to the Palm Beach office of the health department at 561-837-5900 or email chd50contactus@flhealth.gov for more information.
