Pursuant to Florida Statutes 189.0694 the Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District (LRD) has identified programs, activities, goals, objectives, and performance measures, which are all derived from LRD’s enabled powers as provided in our enabling act (Chapter 2021-249, Laws of Florida as amended). Our mission statement, which is intended to summarize the legislative intent behind the creation of our agency, states “We are dedicated to protecting public health and preserving the Loxahatchee River watershed and its natural habitats through innovative wastewater solutions, research, and environmental stewardship.”

LRD staff are continuously focused on how our day-to-day efforts are directly related to protecting public health and preserving the Loxahatchee River. The programs, activities, goals, and objectives identified and defined in our Annual Dashboard Metric Explanation were selected to reflect the complex and critical role of effective wastewater management in protecting public health and the Loxahatchee River watershed. These metrics are quantified in our Annual Dashboard.
