INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
Solid Waste Sub—Element
Data and Analysis Update
The Solid Waste Authority (SWA) of Palm Beach County accepts all waste generated in
the County. All SWA facilities are located outside of the Town and operated by SWA.
According to Palm Beach County's EAR (approved October 19, 2004), the County and
thereby the Town of Gulf Stream meet the requirements of CH. 403 F.S. through the
Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP).
The Town contracts with Waste Management Inc. to provide pick-up and disposal of all
solid waste. All Town residents are required to use this service. All waste collected are
transported to the South County Transfer Station located in the City of Delray Beach.
The Town's long range planning for this sub -element is addressed within the County's
adoption of the ISWMP. The Town will have adequate solid waste collection capacity for
new development. The service is funded on a cost recovery basis by the users.
Regional solid waste disposal and recovery facilities serve the Town. There are no
capital improvement projects that would incur the expenditure of Town funds projected
for either the 5 or 10 year planning periods.
Below is an analysis of the Town's solid waste disposal level of service during the 20 -
year planning timeframe.

Data and Analysis Update
A large percentage of the Town currently uses private septic systems to handle
their wastewater service. However, there are several private systems within the
community. There is a private low pressure sanitary system operated by
homeowners in the Gulf Stream Core area. In 1991, the Gulf Stream Home
Improvement Association was created to service the Gulf Stream Core area. This
Association services 71 single family homes and the Gulf Stream School. The
Somerset of Gulfstream residential project has its own system, as does
Gulfstream Shores. The Little Club Plant, which previously serviced the Little
Club area, Las Casitas and Hillside House is no longer functional and those
areas connected to the City of Boynton Beach. In 2011, the Town annexed,
through a referendum. 16.6 acres which includes 12 properties and a total of 102
dwelling units. These units receive sanitary sewer service from the City of
Boynton Beach.
Gulf Stream has recognized the need for a municipality -wide wastewater system
to replace the septic system currently in use throughout most of the Town. The
Town continues to assess and evaluate the financial feasibility this potential
capital improvements.
The current arrangement of septic systems, neighboring public systems, and
small private sewer systems in place are able to handle the Town's wastewater
adequately at this time. Since the remaining developable land is minimal and
primarily single family lots, septic systems would handle any new development
as well. Developers are responsible for the cost of wastewater improvements
necessary for their development and redevelopment projects
