Notes

Summary:
Water quality in the Little Venice area is the result of a dynamic interaction of complex environmental conditions with a man-modified landscape, where water masses from Florida Bay and ocean waters mix with runoff, ground waters, and seepage from onsite sewage disposal systems. Additionally, water quality may be influenced by flushing time and abundance of organic debris on the canal bottoms. The Little Venice neighborhood was selected in the Monroe County Sanitary Wastewater Master Plan as the first phase of wastewater improvements for the Marathon area because of its high development density, inadequate cesspool and septic systems, and known water quality problems in the canals.
