Wellington itself: neighborhoods and landmarks
Wellington is a village of more than 61,600 residents at the 2020 Census, spread over about 45.8 square miles. Forest Hill Boulevard runs east to west through it, and State Road 7 runs north to south along the east side. Most Wellington homes were built between 1980 and 2009, so pipes and fixtures are often decades old.
Gated communities such as Binks Forest, the airpark homes of the Aero Club and the Palm Beach Polo area all have their own layouts, and long pipe runs can hide a leak. When water is escaping out of sight, leak detection beats opening walls blindly.
The Mall at Wellington Green and the businesses around it sit on Forest Hill Boulevard. Retail and restaurant buildings need commercial plumbing support, including annual backflow device testing under the Village's Cross Connection Program.
Winter brings polo at the National Polo Center (formerly International Polo Club Palm Beach) and show jumping at Wellington International from January to April. Seasonal and rental homes can sit empty for months, so a quick check of the water heater and supply lines before the season starts can prevent a flooded floor.
Which utility serves your address
Wellington Utilities supplies drinking water and wastewater service in most of the village. Addresses east of State Road 7, including areas such as Buena Vida, Olympia and VillageWalk, are served by Palm Beach County Utilities instead.
Check your water bill to see which utility serves you. This matters in an emergency: a water main break in the street is a utility matter, while a leak inside the house is the homeowner's responsibility and a job for our water line repair or burst pipe repair teams. Ask your utility where its responsibility ends and yours begins.
