Culvert grant and loan program
Since the City of Port St. Lucie launched the Residential Culvert Assistance Pilot Program in October 2025, it has received a significant amount of interest.
The Residential Culvert Assistance Pilot Program is designed to improve neighborhood drainage and reduce flooding risks by helping residents with active code compliance cases replace deteriorating culverts.
This initiative provides eligible residents with opportunities for financial assistance and project management, making it easier and more affordable to bring properties into compliance and improve neighborhood drainage. Learn more at cityofpsl. com / culverts.
