The county will borrow up to $60 million to expand the Tropical Farms and North (Jensen Beach) water treatment plants — capacity is at 85% and projected to hit 100% within four years.

Indiantown's growth is being throttled by limited water capacity — one project was limited to 40 of 158 approved units. A rehabilitated water plant and a new 4-million-gallon-per-day reverse-osmosis plant (expandable to 6 MGD) are expected around late 2028.

Board of County Commissioners — June 16, 2026
The village is rehabbing wells, replacing a 100-year-old water main, drilling reverse-osmosis wells and building a new wastewater plant — with about $73 million in grants since incorporation. Water capacity is currently the choke point holding back Terra Lago's growth.
