Introduction
The South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board (the "Board")
was established by an interlocal agreement as a joint venture between the Cities of
Boynton Beach, Florida and Delray Beach, Florida (the "Cities") on December 26, 1974.
The Board was established as an Independent Special District pursuant to Section
163.01 of the Florida Statutes and the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969. The
agreement created a legal entity which provides wastewater treatment and disposal
services to the South Central region of Palm Beach County without regard to political
or governmental boundaries. The Board is governed by a body composed of the
Commission members from each City. The Board has the authority to accept and
disburse funds, transact business, and enter into contracts for budgeted items. In
addition, the Board has the authority, subject to approval by a majority vote of each
City Commission before becoming effective, to adopt an annual budget, establish rates
and charges for operations, maintenance, expansions and construction, and authorize
the return of any excess funds or levy additional charges for deficits of the Board to the
respective cities.
This budget outlines the financial plan for the Board. The primary purpose of this
budget is to establish an effective framework for income and spending. It covers the
period from October 11 2026, to September 30, 2027, and encompasses all key areas of
expenditure, including personnel, operating costs, capital outlay, and debt service. We
are projecting revenues of $12,368,881 and total expenditures of $13,564,020. To
balance the budget, we applied prior year excess funds in the amount of $393,570 as
well as $801,569 of unassigned reserved fund balance.
This budget reflects our commitment to processing the cities' wastewater in an efficient
and environmentally sensitive manner. The following sections provide a more detailed
breakdown of each budget category and the rationale behind our spending decisions.
i
Brief Explanation of Funds
Wastewater Fund (001)
This fund is the primary operating fund of the Board. It is used to account for all financial
resources, including Debt Service. Revenue is derived primarily from charges billed to each
City (Boynton Beach and Delray Beach), based on each City's flow for the month. At the end
of the fiscal year any excess or deficiency of program revenue over operational expenses is
calculated. The excess or deficiency is shared proportionately based on each City's annual
flow. Based on an average flow of 17.53 million gallons daily (MGD), the approved rate per
thousand gallons is $1.17.
Reclaimed Water Fund (002)
The Reclaimed Water Fund is the secondary operating fund of the Board. It is used to
account for a portion of financial resources, mainly composed of 25% of base salaries. Like
Fund 001, revenue is derived from charges billed to each City based on flows for the month.
Additionally, the Wastewater Fund provides revenue on a monthly basis in the form of an
operating transfer based on flows for irrigation and injection wells #1 and #2. The approved
rate per thousand gallons is $0.25.
Unassigned Reserves: $ 2,407,809
Repair & Replacement Fund (101)
This fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the repair and replacement of
equipment and major infrastructure. Revenue is derived from charges billed to each City
based on each City's flow for the month. The approved rate per thousand gallons is $0.08.
Restricted Reserves: $1,064,797
Capital Projects Fund (301)
This fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction
of assets for specific projects. The cost is shared evenly, 50/50, by each city as per the
Interlocal Agreement.
Restricted Reserves: $1,442,016
Total Reserves as of 10/01/25: $4,914,622
