Sewer Hook Ups & Septic-to-Sewer Conversions in Martin & St. Lucie Counties

Expert Residential Sewer Connections & Septic System Elimination

Need a sewer hook up? Residents and business owners in the Martin County and Stuart area that have had septic all these years are slowly but surely getting sewers installed by the city and county and have only about 2 years to hook up or connect to the sewer to eliminate their septic systems.

The Martin County Septic to Sewer (S2S) Conversion Program is a long-term program begun in early 2015 that is being deployed in phases. The first areas being converted to sewer are in areas that the County’s engineers deem the need most significant.

Why convert from Septic to Sewer?

As municipalities in Martin and St. Lucie Counties expand their sewer infrastructure, many homeowners are required to connect to the new sewer system within a limited timeframe. Converting brings key advantages:

• Health & Safety – Prevent septic effluent from contaminating groundwater or nearby wells
• Environmental Protection – Reduce nutrient runoff and harmful algae growth in waterways
• Regulatory Compliance – Meet local mandates to abandon septic systems in certain areas
• Long-term Cost Savings – Avoid costly septic repairs, replacements, or fines

In many zones, the county or city installs the sewer main in the street. Homeowners then have a defined window – typically two years – to hook up and decommission their septic systems.

How to Know If You Must Connect

You’ll typically receive official notice if your property falls within a newly sewered zone. Key factors to watch for:

• Proximity to newly installed sewer lines
• Municipal requests or mandates to abandon septic systems
• Citation or violation notices from county or health departments
• Inability of your existing septic system to meet regulatory or environmental standards

Delaying hookup may incur fines or forced compliance, so acting early is strongly advised.
