Existing Systems Overview
projects completed in 2016, ACIP projects that must be
completed by 2019, and projects that are currently identified
but unfunded. Some of the benefits of performing projects
concurrently include increased scheduling coordination,
reduction of long term traffic impacts, and cost savings
resulting from shared restoration costs.
Maps of the ACIP and roadway repaving programs have been
created to graphically describe the improvement locations and
anticipated construction years. These maps can be seen on the
following pages.
4.3.2 City of West Palm Beach
The City of West Palm
Beach provided atlas level
GIS data for the water
distribution system within
the Town. The City provides the Town with drinking water
under an inter-local agreement. Provided with the GIS data
was information relative to the age of individual segments of
the water system, such that when there are opportunities to
replace watermains that have exceeded their useful life during
the implementation of the undergrounding program, this
work can be properly coordinated. The City does not

currently have any organized program for the systematic
replacement of these aged watermains, so replacement is
expected to be performed on an opportunistic basis. Through
an inter-local agreement with the City, the Town currently has
up to $800,000 per year budgeted to perform such
opportunistic watermain replacement. This budget will be
beneficial in replacing some of the watermain infrastructure
that may be in critical need due to advanced age. However,
this budget will not be sufficient to replace all the watermains
in Town that have exceeded their useful life.
4.3.3 City of Lake Worth
The City of Lake Worth provided record
drawing data in the area of the City’s
Municipal limits (Lake Worth Beach)
along SR A1A. The City owns and
maintains their own electric utility and provides service to
themselves in this area. These facilities will need to remain
after completion of the program and will need to remain in
service during the implementation of the program.
The consultant team coordinated with various representatives
from the City of Lake Worth regarding Lake Worth’s existing
infrastructure, as well as any planned improvement projects
within the limits of the Town’s proposed undergrounding
program.
Lake Worth indicated that they do not have any planned
improvement projects that might impact the Town’s proposed
undergrounding program. Lake Worth also confirmed that
the City does not have any plans to underground the existing
FPL overhead lines crossing their Lake Worth Beach and
Casino property, but would not object to them being placed
underground by the Town.
During a field investigation, it was noted that the Lake Worth
Beach and Casino property parking lot lighting on the north
side of Lake Worth Road (fed by the Lake Worth electric
system) has overhead wires that cross SR A1A overhead to serve
the parking on the west side of the road. These overhead wires
will remain after the project is complete because they are not
part of the FPL system.
4.3.4 Town of South Palm Beach
The Town of South Palm Beach provided
record drawing and atlas level data in the
area near the Town of Palm Beach southern
municipal limits along SR A1A. The Town
of South Palm Beach owns and maintains
City of West Palm Beach watermain construction on Bradley Place
