EPA Region 4 awarded a $4.412 million Cooperative Agreement to the City of Delray Beach, Florida on March 1, 2026, under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to upgrade the North High Service Pump Station and Miller Park High Service Pump Station.

The recipient will execute a drinking water infrastructure construction project to replace supporting equipment and control drives at both pump stations with modern equipment, including variable frequency drives. Deliverables comprise new instrumentation, upgraded SCADA system and communications infrastructure, new generators, electrical components, valve replacements to reduce leakage, new high-efficiency pumps with variable frequency drives, and four emergency stop pushbutton stations positioned near each motor in the pump rooms. The upgraded systems will enable the city to more accurately and efficiently control station operations, increase pump station efficiency and safety, sustain system pressures, and prevent low-pressure events that would otherwise disrupt customer water service.

The City of Delray Beach is the sole recipient. Total dollars obligated are $5.515 million. Performance occurs in Delray Beach, Florida, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The work is funded under a Congressionally mandated project identified in EPA's annual appropriations act for designated recipients and specified amounts. No sub-awards are included in this assistance agreement.
