Storm drain cleaning in Boca Raton, FL

Boca Raton operates a City MS4 under FDEP NPDES Phase II. West-of-I-95 communities typically sit inside or border the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD), which adds easement and right-of-way coordination on top of City rules.

Most Boca HOAs and commercial sites built since the 1990s carry an SFWMD ERP with a recurring O&M inspection obligation under the updated Chapter 62-330 rule — qualified-inspector certification is typically acceptable for the routine inspection, with the certified form going to the District.

Boca is high-end HOA and Class-A commercial. Named work: a gated community recertification where the 5-year drainage sign-off uncovered pipe collapse under a cul-de-sac that had been ponding for two years — corrective work was bundled into a single mobilization with the full-community cleaning. A Mizner Park mixed-use block where the underground parking-deck drainage was bypassing to an ICW-adjacent outfall in an unpermitted configuration; the fix required City coordination and an SFWMD ERP modification. A Boca Raton Airport-adjacent office park where the detention pond had lost 20% of design volume and the SFWMD O&M inspection had lapsed.

Neighborhoods matter: Old Floresta and downtown Boca have some of the oldest infrastructure in the city and often need CCTV before pricing. Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca Bath & Tennis, Broken Sound, and the western master-planned communities (Boca Pointe, Boca West) are post-1980s formal ERPs with engineered detention lakes and recurring O&M inspection obligations under Chapter 62-330. The eastern A1A and Camino Real corridor deals with tidal outfall issues similar to Fort Lauderdale — inspection windows have to be tide-coordinated.

Boca sits inside Palm Beach County stormwater oversight with the City of Boca Raton MS4 permit on top, and most western communities are within or adjacent to the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD). That means three coordination layers on top of SFWMD — City, County, and LWDD — with slightly different documentation preferences at each. Every Boca service ships formatted to satisfy all three plus the engineer of record.
