Whose problem is it? The town utility boundary and your plumbing
Lantana runs a town-owned water utility. The Town describes its service area as east of I-95 and north of Hypoluxo Road, extending until about one mile north of Lantana Road. The utility office can be reached at 561-540-5020.
That boundary matters because a Lantana address does not prove you are on the town system. If you are not sure who sends your water bill, look at it or call the utility and ask whether your street is inside the service area.
On our side, everything inside the property is a plumbing job: shutoff valves, supply lines, pressure regulators, water heaters and fixtures. In most systems the meter marks the handoff, but ask the utility to confirm where its side ends at your address before anyone digs.
Who to call first
A quick sorting guide for water trouble in Lantana. It will not cover every case, but it covers most of them.
| What you notice | Call first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Low pressure or brown water, and the neighbors report the same. | Town utility, 561-540-5020. | A street-wide problem points to the supply side. |
| Low pressure in your house only. | Us. | Usually a regulator, valve or clogged line on the house side. |
| Wet patch of yard between the street and the house. | Us, after you check the utility's boundary. | Line leaks on the property are plumbing work. |
| Water heater leaking or no hot water. | Us. | Inside the house, so it is a repair or water heater replacement |
| Notice taped to the door about the water. | Town utility. | Follow the utility's instructions first. |
If you land on the wrong side of this table, no harm done. Call us and we will tell you honestly whether it is ours.

I-95 splits the town, and it changes your first phone call
I-95 was completed through Lantana in the mid-1970s, and it divides the town into an east side and a west side. The utility boundary is written from the east side of that highway, so the side you live on shapes who you call about a street-wide problem.
When you phone us, say which side of I-95 you are on and give the cross street. It saves a round of questions, and it helps us judge whether the trouble is likely in the house or upstream of it.
Town Hall is at 500 Greynolds Circle, 33462, phone 561-540-5000, and it is the right place for questions about town rules. For permits and inspections, ask the Town before work begins.
Lantana Beach and the salt-air side of your plumbing
Lantana Beach covers 8 acres with 745 feet of ocean frontage, and homes and buildings in the coastal parts of town live with salt air. Salt corrodes exterior hose bibs, outdoor shutoffs, irrigation valves and the fittings on a water heater tucked into a garage or utility closet. A stuck or crusted valve you cannot close is the real emergency, because it is the one you reach for when a pipe fails.
Exercise your shutoffs a few times a year and replace any that will not turn. A faucet repair visit can cover the exterior spigots, and leak detection is the right call for an irrigation line that keeps a patch of lawn wet.
Services we bring to Lantana homes
Common calls include water heater repair for a tripped breaker or a tank that is dripping, and drain cleaning for tubs and kitchen sinks that no longer clear. A failing supply line may call for repiping, and a dug-up yard may point to water service line repair. We set the price before work starts and explain the cost factors in plain words.
Lantana's neighbor Hypoluxo is a separate town, and Hypoluxo Road forms part of the utility boundary above. If your address is near it, give us the street name on the call so we can confirm both the town and the utility.
Before we arrive at your Lantana home
A few quick steps keep a small problem from becoming a large one.
Close the main valve
The main shutoff is usually near where the water enters the house. Turn it clockwise until it stops. If it is corroded and will not move, leave it and tell us on the call.
Check the neighbors
A quick look at whether others on the street have the same trouble tells you if the town utility needs to be called as well.
Keep power off wet areas
Do not stand in water to reach a breaker panel. Keep appliances and cords off wet floors.
Call the 24/7 line
Tell us which side of I-95 you are on, the street and what the water is doing. We will tell you what to do next.
