The Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) is a utilities organization based at 8100 Forest Hill Boulevard in West Palm Beach, Florida, that provides drinking water, wastewater collection, and reclaimed water services to residents in central and south-central unincorporated Palm Beach County and the western communities of Belle Glade, South Bay, and Pahokee. It is the third largest water utility department in Florida and serves approximately 635,000 residents. The department operates five water treatment plants, the Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility, and wastewater treatment plants in Belle Glade and Pahokee, and it manages Wakodahatchee Wetlands and Green Cay Wetlands to restore wildlife habitat and return up to one million gallons per day of reclaimed water to the water cycle. The organization is advancing the Green Cay Phase II/RECAP project, scheduled to open in late 2026, which will feature an Advanced Water Purification Facility and educational exhibits and will purify water to potable standards with water reintroduced into groundwater via Green Cay Park lakes. In 2021, PBCWUD became the first utility in North America to be certified ISO5001 in Asset Management by ISO. In April 2026, the utility received two Operations Excellence awards from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for its Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility and its Boca Raton drinking water plant.
