Who We Are
Established in 1990 under Florida Statute Chapter 190, we are a Master-planned Community Development District (CDD) serving approximately 7,000 residents and 530 businesses across 4,600 acres in St. Lucie County, Florida. Our service area stretches from Florida’s Turnpike to I-95, and from the C-108 Canal near Torino to Crosstown Parkway.
With a team of more than 55 dedicated professionals, we deliver essential utility and public works services through two core departments: Utilities and Public Works.
The District is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors (each a resident of the community) who oversees budgets and operations to ensure efficient, responsive service.
Our Utilities Department operates a 3.6 million gallons per day (MGD) Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant and a 2.6 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant. Water is drawn from the Florida Aquifer, treated, and delivered to customers. Wastewater is reclaimed and reused for irrigation through a system that blends stormwater and treated effluent. Specialized teams manage potable water, wastewater collection, lift stations, and irrigation infrastructure.
Our Public Works Department maintains stormwater systems, wetlands, preserves, retention ponds, road rights-of-way, and storm gates to mitigate flooding risks; particularly during heavy rainfall. Key divisions include Stormwater, Aquatics, and Exotic Plant Removal.
Our Executive and Administrative team manages customer service, billing, communications, and overall district operations.
We are committed to what matters most—our customers and the dedicated employees who serve them.
We affirm that maintaining a skilled, professional team with a strong focus on customer service is essential to delivering exceptional service to the St. Lucie West community.
What is a Community Development District (CDD)
Under Florida law, a CDD is a local, special-purpose government created to plan, finance, construct, operate, and maintain community-wide infrastructure and services for the benefit of its residents. The purpose of Chapter 190 is to provide a uniform, fair, and efficient system for delivering these improvements—such as water management, utilities, roads, and environmental conservation—within planned communities. A CDD functions much like a local government, but with a specific focus on infrastructure and services within its boundaries.
