We have been highlighting concerns every week for several months now. We will continue to discuss wastewater concerns and ideas until there are none left to highlight! Or when we just give up.

Click here to see the list of concerns we’ve highlighted over the last several months, including concerns about huge budget deficits and major raw sewage leaks.

In 1999 the State of Florida mandated that the entire Florida Keys install advanced wastewater treatment systems. The cost in Islamorada to create a central sewer system was enormous.  And now the cost of maintenance and operation of this costly project is creating significant questions and concerns.

This Week - The concerns were highlighted at the County Environmental Town Hall Meeting last Monday at Angler’s Club on Upper Matecumbe. Unfortunately only one member of the Islamorada Council (Steve Friedman) attended this important Town Hall meeting to learn more about numerous serious environmental concerns.
