The Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-0 to recommend updating Margate’s 10-year Water Supply Facility Work Plan. Staff said the city has sufficient water supplies, but PFAS treatment is needed because levels average about 6 and 20 parts per trillion versus a 4-parts-per-trillion limit; compliance is required by 2031.

The recommendation updates Margate’s long-term water planning to account for projected population, capital improvements, and new PFAS treatment requirements. The board was told the city’s reservoir has been fully operational for two years and that a PFAS treatment pilot program is underway. Any funding for PFAS-related projects would be handled separately through the capital improvement schedule; the discussed bond authorization is not to exceed $120 million, with $60 million planned initially for wastewater.
