Septic & sewer
Homes and neighborhoods still requiring connection, replacement or advanced treatment so nitrogen does not keep reaching groundwater and the lagoon.

If we have spent ten years doing this, what exactly are we still paying for?
A restoration program is not one construction job. It is a portfolio of wastewater, septic, stormwater, muck and habitat projects that move through different stages on different timelines.
Current pipeline
232 of 403 projects are complete or in progress.
The County’s “in progress” category can include design, contracts and active construction. This count is an administrative snapshot, not a measure of ecological completion.

Five plain-language categories.
Wastewater plants
Treatment upgrades, capacity work and collection-system improvements not yet complete.
See wastewater projects ↗Stormwater
Pollution still entering through runoff, canals and drainage systems during ordinary rain and major storms.
See stormwater projects ↗Legacy muck
Nutrient-rich material accumulated over decades can continue recycling nitrogen and phosphorus internally even after outside sources are reduced.
See the muck evidence ↗Habitat
Oyster, shoreline and seagrass restoration supports recovery after pollution sources are reduced. Habitat work cannot substitute for source reduction; it complements it.

Infrastructure takes years before the final invoice is paid.
Plan→Engineer→Permit→Bid→Build→Verify
A project can be real, funded and moving while expenditures lag. Renewal affects the continuity of the dedicated revenue stream; it does not erase the need for procurement discipline, audit, public oversight or performance verification.
