Boca's spring cleanup, by the numbers
Plus a Rush tribute tonight, free music at Mizner Sunday, and a heads-up on your water report.
The city added up its spring sustainability season, and the totals are real. Volunteers planted 40 trees at the Spanish River Athletic Facility and de Hoernle Park, with 76 people pitching in. More than 6,400 pounds of e-waste got recycled, 200 native plants went into the dunes at Red Reef Park, and 225.5 pounds of litter came out of the Intracoastal during one cleanup. Crews also built 25 vertical oyster gardens for the pier at Rutherford Park. In all, residents turned out for nearly 30 events.
Your annual water report is almost out
City Utility Services puts out its yearly Water Quality Report by July 1. It's built from drinking-water samples the city collects and tests year-round against EPA, Florida DEP, and state health standards. Want it on paper? Call 561-338-7306 or email utilityprograminspector@bocaraton-fl.gov.
