FPUA Breaks Ground on New Sewer Treatment Plant

Fort Pierce - Wednesday February 8, 2023: The Fort Pierce Utilities Authority has broken ground on the new Mainland Sewer Treatment Plant. The project removes the existing island sewer treatment plant from the shores of the Indian River Lagoon, and places the new treatment plant five miles west, far away from the lagoon and in an industrial area away from neighborhoods. The project will replace aging infrastructure with new technology, increase resilience, and limit potential environmental impacts.
