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.

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 Below is an analysis of the sanitary sewer service within the Town during the 20 - year planning time frame..
