Sanitary Sewer & Stormwater Infrastructure Services in Port St. Lucie

Port St. Lucie is the largest city in St. Lucie County and one of the largest cities in Florida by population. It was platted largely by the General Development Corporation beginning in the late 1950s, and it spreads across a wide area along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and west toward Interstate 95 and the fast growing Tradition and western annexation areas.

The City of Port St. Lucie Utility Systems Department provides water and wastewater service, and the city's Public Works department maintains streets and an extensive stormwater system of canals, swales, and culverts. Many older neighborhoods were originally built on septic systems, and the city has extended central sewer over time.

Port St. Lucie relies on a large drainage network that carries water toward the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, an area of documented water quality concern. Culverts under thousands of residential streets can collect sediment and vegetation, and older corrugated metal pipe is prone to corrosion. Rapid growth in the western part of the city adds new sewer, lift station, and stormwater assets that need inspection at acceptance.

In Port St. Lucie, Southeast Services is most relevant for culvert and canal cross drain cleaning, CCTV inspection of storm pipe and new construction, trenchless rehabilitation of corroded culverts beneath roads, lift station and wet well cleaning, and vacuum excavation for utility locates in expanding corridors.

Commercial corridors along U.S. 1, St. Lucie West Boulevard, and Port St. Lucie Boulevard include shopping centers, medical campuses, and multifamily communities that maintain private storm systems, ponds, and lift stations.
