In 2016, county Utilities Services funded a septic to sewer <br />study to identify and rank those platted subdivisions served by septic systems that have a <br />disproportionately higher negative impact on the Indian River Lagoon. The study was performed <br />by Schulke, Bittle and Stoddard, LLC (SBS), was accepted by the Board of County <br />Commissioners on July 10, 2017, and is available online via the county website. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 22 <br />Appendix A <br />320 <br />
