Get Connected to City Sewer WE'RE HERE TO HELP!
Financial Assistance Available
We know connecting to city sewer can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. The Clean Water Coalition is here to help Vero Beach homeowners make this transition as affordable as possible. While the city eventually requires all properties to connect to municipal sewer, we've secured special funding to help qualifying families do it now for just $540 per year for 10 years. That's less than many cable bills! We're reaching out to make sure no qualifying family misses this opportunity to save thousands.
