A new electric conduit beneath the Intracoastal Waterway
The City of Lake Worth Beach Electric Utilities Department will begin the Intracoastal Waterway Bore Project to strengthen and improve the reliability of electric service for customers east of Ocean Boulevard. The project, which should last approximately 90 days, includes installing a new underground conduit beneath the Intracoastal Waterway, between Bryant Park and Casino and Beach Complex, using specialized directional drilling technology. Once complete, new electric lines will be placed through the conduit to serve buildings on the east side of Ocean Boulevard.
By relocating these electric lines underground beneath the Intracoastal Waterway, the project will enhance the resilience of the City’s electric system, improve long-term reliability, and support future infrastructure needs while minimizing impacts to the surrounding environment. The City is committed to completing the work safely and efficiently and will provide updates to residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the project.
