FPUA Service Area & Inlet Conditions in Fort Pierce

Fort Pierce is the county seat of St. Lucie County, located on the mainland along the Indian River Lagoon with Hutchinson Island and the Fort Pierce Inlet just across the water. Its historic downtown, marina, and port area make it one of the oldest established cities on the Treasure Coast.

Fort Pierce Utilities Authority, a municipal utility, provides water, wastewater, electric, and natural gas service in Fort Pierce and surrounding areas. The City of Fort Pierce manages streets and the city's stormwater system. Owners should confirm utility service with FPUA and drainage responsibility with the city before planning work.

Fort Pierce contains some of the oldest building stock on the Treasure Coast, so cast iron building drains and older clay or concrete gravity lines are common in downtown and established neighborhoods. Low areas near the lagoon and Moore's Creek can drain slowly during heavy rain, and sandy soils with a shallow water table encourage infiltration. Stormwater reaches the Indian River Lagoon.

For Fort Pierce, Southeast Services is most relevant for CCTV condition assessment of gravity sewers and commercial building drains, trenchless CIPP lining in historic downtown buildings, storm pipe and outfall cleaning, lift station service, and vacuum excavation around port, industrial, and downtown utility corridors.

Industrial and commercial users near the Port of Fort Pierce, the Treasure Coast International Airport, and the U.S. 1 corridor often maintain private sewer, storm, and process drainage systems that connect to FPUA and city infrastructure. Those private systems age alongside the public network and benefit from documented inspection before failures occur.
