STORMWATER MAINTENANCE DIVISION

TOWN OF LAKE PARK STORMWATER DIVISION WINS 2023 PROGRAM EXCELLENCE AWARD FROM THE FLORIDA STORMWATER ASSOCIATION

The Town of Lake Park is proud to have been honored by the Florida Stormwater Association (FSA) with the 2023 Stormwater Program Excellence Award. The Excellence Awards are given annually to public sector member organizations that have demonstrated a high level of distinction in stormwater programs, projects, and public education efforts. Awardees must exhibit sustained demonstration of excellence in public sector stormwater, and further considerations include ongoing and frequent development and implementation of innovative projects, a stable and talented staff, adequate funding, and noteworthy responsiveness to water quality improvement challenges.

The Town’s Lake Shore Drive Drainage Improvements Project was the recipient of the FSA’s Outstanding Achievement Award last year. That category recognizes successful implementation or outstanding projects in one or more areas of public sector stormwater management or finance, including stormwater utilities, permit compliance, intergovernmental coordination, best management practices, water quality improvement and illicit discharge detection.

Congratulations to the Town of Lake Park’s outstanding Stormwater Division for winning FSA awards two years in a row!

ABOUT THE STORMWATER MAINTENANCE DIVISION

The Town's Stormwater Maintenance Division operates and maintains more than 10 miles of underground storm sewer pipes that are connected to 559 drainage structures. Through regular structural rehabilitation, as well as operation of street sweeper and vacuum equipment, the division protects public and private property from flood damage, while also ensuring that the stormwater runoff entering the Intracoastal Waterway is free from harmful elements. Additionally, the division regularly inspects, collects, and documents maintenance activities and reports them to regional authorities and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

The Stormwater Maintenance Division operates as an enterprise fund supported by a Non-Ad Valorem Assessment.
