Town inventory flags lift stations, wells and roads as vulnerable
Summary
The assessment cataloged Lantana's wastewater and water systems — including 18 lift stations, about 30 miles of gravity mains and 10 raw water wells — and flagged key control valves and lift stations as high-priority assets for protection.
Baxter and Woodman's inventory identified critical water and wastewater infrastructure that the town depends on: roughly 30 miles of gravity mains, about 670 manholes, multiple force mains and 18 lift stations. The consultant emphasized the importance of access to control valves and the need to plan for resilience upgrades.
"For the wastewater facilities, we've got about 30 miles of gravity mains and 670 manholes...there's 18 lift stations," Jeffrey Hiscox said, explaining why lift stations and control valves were treated as high-priority items in sensitivity analyses. Council members heard that loss of access or damage to those assets could meaningfully affect service delivery.
