Potential Indiantown sewage plant promises jobs and revenue

INDIANTOWN, Fla (CBS12) — A sewage plant could soon come to a residential area of Indiantown.

A company called Sedron Technologies plans to build the plant on 168th in the Booker Park neighborhood, near the town’s old water treatment facility. The plot is six acres.

Right now, the area is just a small stretch of forest, but by 2026, it could be a fully operating sewage plant.

The village’s leaders tell CBS12 News they are excited about what this could mean for the community.

Sedron Technologies says this plant will be the first of its kind in the state because it specializes in biosolids. Meaning, it takes the solid portion of waste from sewage plants and turns it into things like fertilizer, charcoal, and cement kilns.

The village bought the extra acres with a loan from the government, but the plant itself would be paid for privately.

According to the village, some residents have expressed concerns about the odor the plant could produce, but village manager Taryn Kryzda says that shouldn’t be an issue.

“The individuals that we’re working with, they have odor control design devices, they have monitors throughout the facility. When we visited the site in Washington, there was no odor, no odor at all, could you smell and we had a resident that lives nearby. She also came and talked to us and she said she’s never experienced odor from there,” said Kryzda.

The village says once the plant is up and running, it will generate revenue for the community and bring jobs, with priority given to Indiantown residents.

The council is set to consider a lease with Sedron at next week’s meeting.

From there, the company is waiting on some permit approvals.

But if all goes as planned, they hope to break ground by early 2025 and have the plant fully operational by 2026.
