Indiantown, one of Florida’s newest municipalities, is looking to upgrade water infrastructure and treatment systems throughout the village. With state support, officials are now investing $17.2 million to modernize that system through new water treatment capacity and long-planned transmission line replacements.
According to village officials, $9.3 million of the funding will support construction of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant capable of treating brackish groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer. By adding reverse osmosis treatment, the village will be able to draw from the deeper aquifer, expanding water capacity beyond what its current shallow wells can supply. The other $7.9 million will replace about 13,000 feet of aging cast iron main water transmission line.
The upgrades are intended to improve reliability, reduce disruptions and position the rural community for future growth.
Officials say projects like the Indiantown upgrades reflect a statewide push to strengthen water systems before failures occur, particularly in rural areas with limited resources. The approach prioritizes long-term capacity and reliability as Florida continues to grow.
