Following Court Ruling
Following a recent ruling by a U.S. District Court, the St. Lucie West Services District (SLWSD) has decided to immediately halt its use of chemical fluoride feed systems. The court determined that fluoride levels above 0.7 mg/l present an “unreasonable risk of harm” to both health and the environment, particularly for vulnerable populations, without  taking  into  account  costs  or  other  risk  factors.
In response to this decision, and based on the recommendation of  the  Florida  Surgeon  General,  SLWSD  suspended its  fluoride  feed  systems  until  further  guidance  is issued by St. Lucie County, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and the State of Florida.
Other municipalities, including the City of Port St. Lucie, have also begun deactivating their fluoride feed systems.
SLWSD will continue to adhere to all current water quality monitoring requirements, including fluoride testing, as directed by FDEP and local authorities, until clearer instructions are received.
SLWSD is dedicated to delivering high-quality water services to St. Lucie West residents and businesses, prioritizing public health and safety while meeting all environmental and regulatory standards. Established in 1990, SLWSD manages a 4,600-acre community and provides potable water, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, and reclaimed water irrigation.

Check for Water Leaks Using Your Kamstrup Meter.

KAMSTRUP Smart Meters are installed outside of your residence or facility. They can aid you in detecting possible water leaks. After checking for leaks on common areas like toilets and faucets, use the meter codes below to identify potential issues.

REVERSE FLOW: Arrow shows water flowing the wrong direction.
LEAK: Flashing symbol indicates water has flowed for 24 hours, suggesting a leak. BURST: Flashing symbol indicates flow exceeds a preset limit for 30 minute suggesting a pipe break.
DRY: Flashing symbol means the meter is not filled with water.
TAMPER: Icon shows an attempted fraud, making the meter invalid for billing. RADIO OFF: Indicates the meter is in transport mode with the radio off. It activates automatically after ½ liter of water flows through the meter.
BATTERY LOW: Icon indicates battery life is under 6 months.

The information codes and symbols will automatically turn off when the conditions that activated them no longer exist. If you find a leak, please have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid higher bills. Contact us with any questions at (772) 340-0220 , or customerservice@slwsd.org.
