Board Members
The Board of Commissioners and Key Largo Wastewater Treatment District were created by Florida House Bill No. 471 in 2002. The business and affairs of the District are overseen by a five-member elected board. There are three leadership positions on the Board of Commissioners: Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary-Treasurer which are elected by the Commissioners annually.
The election for Board of Commissioners is nonpartisan and is held every two years to create staggered four-year terms. Each board member must be a registered elector, residing within the boundaries of the District continually through his or her term.

Philip (Flip) Schwartz and his wife bought a home in Key Largo about 4 years ago after vacationing here for many years and thoroughly enjoying the area and the people. Mr. Schwartz recently retired from the Engineering firm he co-founded in 1997 and is anxious to help the district and give back to the community using his 45 years of experience in the Water/Wastewater industry. Mr. Schwartz was born and raised in the Philadelphia area (go Eagles!) and received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Civil/Environmental Engineering from Cornell University. He has experience in all facets of wastewater projects and infrastructure including planning, design, and construction management of all types of facilities.

Vice Chair

Commissioner
Term Expires: November 2026
I was first elected to the KLWTD Board in November 2008. My involvement was due to my concerns about the high cost for residents and businesses to connect to the new Wastewater System.
I moved to Key Largo in 1998 in order to raise my family in this community. I own a small business (Keys Kritters Pet Store) and I am an active member of our community.
I have been on KLWTD Board while we were first building our system and continue to work towards our goal of having the best and most efficient wastewater operation in the state of Florida.
