Reclaim Your Sexual Health at Calla Genics in Riviera Beach
You know the saying that time waits for no person? As you get older, it becomes more evident that it's true. One day you can wake up, grab a shower, and hit the basketball court all day without any problems. The next, you're sore in places you never thought were possible. Many men in their 20s feel like they're bulletproof, but like everyone, it's only a matter of time before age plays a factor in their daily life.
While backaches and sore joints can be treated with ice and ibuprofen, there's another symptom of aging that isn't as easy to address: erectile dysfunction. For most men, hearing those two words back-to-back sends shivers down the spine. Lacking the ability to perform in the bedroom is a horrible thought. Still, it's not uncommon - over 18 million men suffer from ED in the U.S. Unfortunately, many men who have erectile dysfunction keep their issues private, making life miserable for themselves and their partners. Luckily, those days are over, and more men are discovering new ways to reclaim their youth and performance in the bedroom.
Sure, it's true that time waits for no man, but treatments like Gainswave therapy in Riviera Beach, FL, turn back the clock with amazing effectiveness. If you're ready to reignite that special spark when the time is right, Calla Genics is the clinic you need to visit for long-term results.

Reshape Your Sex Life with Gainswave Therapy from Calla Genics
Can we be honest? Talking about male sexual health can feel a tad taboo, even in today's day and age. That's doubly true when a man's sexual performance comes into question. If you are a male and you feel the same way, don't worry - we get what you're going through. Fortunately, you don't need to feel embarrassed or timid about your perceived deficiencies for long. What you're experiencing is perfectly normal, and our team of ED specialists is here to help.
If you're reading this, chances are you're thinking about or have already been to your primary care doctor. While that's never a bad idea, many docs are prescribing men medications that just aren't effective. Sure, the "little blue pill" may work for a while, but for how long? Is there a tolerance involved? What about the side effects?
If you're a man who doesn't want to put foreign chemicals in your body or suffer through uncomfortable side effects, we've got great news. There's a revolutionary solution to conditions like ED and Peyronie's disease. It's called Gainswave treatment, and it's changing the way men think about sexual health.
Unlike commonly prescribed ED treatment options, there is no risk of surgery or drugs associated with Gainswave. Instead of chemicals or invasive procedures, Gainswave uses acoustic wave technology to boost sexual performance and erectile strength, giving men more confidence when they need it most.
Gainswave, which has been used across the globe for more than a decade, is backed by science and proven to rejuvenate vasculature in male erectile tissue. This exciting procedure actually boosts blood flow to the penis without any pain or recovery time. In fact, many men can pop into a Gainswave treatment center on their lunch break and return to work without taking any time off.
But the benefits of Gainswave don't stop there. Because this treatment breaks up micro-plaques and increases nitric oxide production, it enables new blood vessel and collagen formation. That's incredible news for men suffering from Peyronie's disease, which we'll cover soon.
The effects and advantages of using Gainswave often include: Treatment for ED and Peyronie's Disease
- Improved Length and Girth
- Enhanced Sexual Pleasure
- Improved Length and Girth
- Better Penis Circulation
- Increased Blood Flow
- Less Downtime Between Orgasms
Wondering how Gainswave therapy works? It's simpler than you might think.
How Does Gainswave Therapy in Riviera Beach Work?
Is Gainswave too good to be true? It might seem like it is, but in reality, these treatments are backed by research and shown to be effective.
Gainswave therapy works by addressing the most common reason for ED, which is blood flow. Constant blood flow is crucial for maintaining strong erections. However, as men age, blood vessels in the penis begin to break down and fill with micro plaques. Gainswave's low-intensity pulse waves help re-open closed blood vessels and disrupt plaque, giving men across the country hope for healthy sexual intercourse. To add to the list of Gainswave's benefits, most men don't have to worry about expensive insurance claims since the procedure is surgery and drug-free.
At Calla Genics, our patients love Gainswave because it's effective, quick, and gets straight to the underlying cause of ED. Plus, with its ability to be combined with treatments like the P-Shot, it can solve more than just ED issues.
Calla Genics' Gainswave treatments feature:
- Low-Intensity Shockwaves
- No Pain
- No Needles
- No Pills
- Little-to-No Downtime
- Short Procedure Times
How Much Money is Gainswave Therapy in Riviera Beach, FL?
The Cost of Gainswave therapy varies from patient to patient. Typically, pricing depends on how many treatments a patient needs to get long-lasting relief from their ED symptoms. Generally speaking, patients can expect anywhere from six to twelve Gainswave treatments for optimal results. Remember - Gainswave therapy has been shown to last for months, making it a long-term alternative to much more expensive ED prescriptions.
Is There Any Research Supporting Gainswave Therapy?
Numerous research studies are showing the long-term effectiveness of shockwave therapies like Gainswave. Regarding Gainswave, protocols for the therapy have been developed in over 40 research studies that support how effective Gainswave can be for male sexual health.
Request InformationWhat is Calla Genics' P-Shot in Riviera Beach, FL?
As men grow older, they face a host of issues that can affect their sex life and overall confidence. Often, men of a certain age suffer from softer erections and aren't able to last as long in bed. In the past, men going through these issues relied on substances and procedures that worked some of the time but never provided long-lasting results. Thankfully, those days are over.
Like Gainswave therapy, Calla Genics' P-Shot is a painless, non-invasive, long-term solution to common sexual performance problems that millions of men face. Also called the Priapus Shot, this therapy consists of platelet-rich plasma, also called PRP, in the medical world. The P-Shot uses your body's proteins and natural growth factors from your own blood to stimulate cell regeneration, new blood vessel production, and new collagen production.
The P-Shot treats a wide range of sexual and urinary issues in men and has been shown by doctors to:
- Boost Vitality
- Increase Erection Functionality
- Enhance Erection Firmness
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Improve Overall Sexual Performance
- Treat Peyronie's Disease

What to Expect from P-Shot Therapy
Calla Genics' P-Shot procedure starts by extracting the patient's blood and concentrating the blood's healing factors (like stem cells and other growth factors). From there, the patient's white and red blood cells are separated in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speeds until it separates. From there, the patient's concentrated healing factors are injected into their penile region.
Calla Genics' P-Shot treatment is hassle-free and pain-free and can usually be completed in less than an hour right here at our P-shot clinic in Riviera Beach.
P-Shot Therapy and Botox for Erectile Dysfunction
For men with serious cases of erectile dysfunction, Calla Genics offers our P-Shot with the added bonus of Botox for increased effectiveness. We know what you're thinking: "Isn't Botox meant for women? I don't care about the wrinkles on my face; I just want help with my ED."
While it's true that Botox is most commonly associated with female anti-wrinkle treatment, researchers believe it can help with male ED as well. Botox—which is technically a bacterial toxin with the name botulinum—smooths out wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions.
That same mechanism may help men achieve erections. Botox can interrupt the release of norepinephrine, which restricts blood flow. But it doesn't affect the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a crucial element in achieving an erection since it relaxes smooth muscle and causes blood to engorge the penis.
Because of the nature of Botox, research shows that it may give men enhanced erections for months. Older men with particularly severe ED may see the most significant improvements. As an added bonus, Botox may work for males who have physiological erectile dysfunction (caused by blood flow issues) and psychogenic ED (triggered by physiological factors).

P-Shot Treatment for Peyronie's Disease
While the P-Shot can work wonders for men experiencing performance and erectile issues, the P-Shot has other uses. One of the most important and revolutionary issues the P-Shot treats is called Peyronie's disease.
Found in nearly 10% of all men in the U.S., Peyronie's disease is a common problem that can affect a man's sexual activity and sex life. Essentially, Peyronie's disease is the medical label used to describe an abnormal curve or bend in a patient's penis. Though it's very common for a man to have a slight bend in their penis, men suffering from Peyronie's disease experience significant pain, especially when trying to achieve an erection. Because of the nature of the disease, Peyronie's is linked to male erectile dysfunction.
Peyronie's disease is often caused by a previous injury or damage to a man's penis via sexual intercourse or physical activity. Some of the most common symptoms of Peyronie's disease include:
- Painful Erections
- Unusually Soft Erections
- Extreme Penis Curvature
- Significant Difficulty Having Sexual Intercourse
- Lumps Found in the Penis
Living with Peyronie's disease makes life quite difficult. Unfortunately, we're discovering that this malady is more prevalent than we once thought. That's probably because more and more men are coming forward to talk about their ED. We understand if you're suffering from Peyronie's disease but are reluctant to speak to a professional due to embarrassment. However, if you're sick and tired of living with Peyronie's and want to reclaim your sex life, Calla Genics' P-Shot may be the long-term solution you need.
The alternative to the P-Shot involves "traditional" treatments like penile stretching devices and penile implants, which sometimes involve vacuum technology and invasive procedures. If you're cringing a little just reading those words, Calla Genics' P-Shot is the way to go for Peyronie's disease treatment.
How Fast Does the P-Shot Work?
Results vary for every patient, but in general, many men discover relief soon after their first P-Shot treatment. If you're a man struggling to achieve and keep an erection, Calla Genics' P-Shot should help you almost immediately. Other enhancements, like more penis girth and size, can take longer.
What Side Effects Should I Know About?
Because our P-Shot treatment in Riviera Beach uses a patient's own blood, there is no risk for harmful side effects or allergic reactions. It's a pain-free treatment that we perform right here at our male sexual health center, and is usually over in 30 minutes or less.
How Much Does Calla Genics' P-Shot Cost?
Pricing varies depending on our patient's needs. Compared to other erectile dysfunction treatments, P-Shot therapy is relatively inexpensive. Since there are no oral medications or pills to take, patients don't have to worry about refilling prescriptions. The P-Shot is also much less expensive than surgical options, which require multiple doctor's appointments, follow-ups, and more.
The Benefits of Combining Gainswave and P-Shot Therapy in Riviera Beach, FL
Studies published via the International Society for Sexual Medicine found that Gainswave treatments display significant, positive results that can last as long as 12 months. And while low-intensity shockwave therapy is proven to provide significant improvement in erectile function, Gainswave doesn't have to be used all on its own.
For the most effective male enhancement treatment, many men are combining Calla Genics' Gainswave therapy with our P-Shot treatments. These two revolutionary ED treatments feed off one another to provide a doubly-beneficial effect. In medicine, we call it a synergistic effect.
The platelet-rich plasma from the P-Shot can help open up a patient's blood vessels in their penis. This can actually enhance the effectiveness of Gainswave therapy. Conversely, Gainswave treatments can help stimulate healing factors used in the P-Shot, essentially sending PRP deeper into a patient's damaged penis tissue.
Our Bocox™ Treatment
It is recommended to receive this treatment by a specially trained physician much like Calla Genics' very own Dr. Tiffany. A single Bocox™ treatment can combat erectile dysfunction, ridding your need of having to take Viagra or any surgical procedures.
Request InformationHow Bocox™ Can Help You!
Here at Calla Genics, we have now been doing the P-Shot® procedure for years with much success and with a significant body of medical research that supports the procedure. In the studies below, you will notice that we have added units of BOTOX, which the recommended dose showed effectiveness up to 6 months with maximal effect at 6 weeks.
The mechanism of action of BOTOX in the penis seems to be partly due to the relaxation of the smooth muscle of the arterioles, resulting in increased blood flow (and even in a small increase in length in one study). This increase in erection firmness by increasing arterial flow is exactly how Viagra and Tri-mix injections work. In two separate studies, the injection of BOTOX was helpful to some men (not all) for whom Viagra and Cialis had quit working.
BOTOX, at much higher doses, has been used for 2 decades for various problems with an extremely safe history. The P-Shot 100™ procedure is a specific method of injecting blood-derived growth factors, including platelet-rich plasma (or platelet-rich fibrin matrix) and botulinum neurotoxin, to improve the health of the penis and enhance the size or function of the penis. The procedure includes patient selection, method of preparation of materials, method of injection, aftercare, and more.
Suppose someone wants Botox alone injected into the penis. In that case, we have the Bocox™ (BoPriapus) procedure: a specific method of injecting the corpus cavernosi of the penis with botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT)–BOTOX– to improve penile tissue health and to enhance erectile function or penis size.
Our Guarantee: You will see results. If you are not pleased with the results of your procedure for any reason, you can get a full refund for the procedure for up to 3 months.

Construction kicks off on a new seagrass nursery at Manatee Lagoon in West Palm Beach.
Large above-ground tanks will use water from the Lake Worth Lagoon to facilitate seagrass growth. As the seagrass matures, it will be transplanted into carefully selected areas, benefiting manatees and their ecosystems.
“After three years of planning, we are excited to kick off this project that further highlights our ongoing dedication to environmental education and awareness,” said Zack Greenberg, manager of Manatee Lagoon. “This seagrass nursery will serve as a key component of the center’s public education initiatives to underscore the importance of seagrass in our marine ecosystems and for the gentle giants we love here at Manatee Lagoon.”
Seagrass is not only important for Florida manatees and other marine species, but also the entire Lake Worth Lagoon. The new tanks will serve as an educational resource for visitors, as well as a functioning nursery to facilitate seagrass growth.
Seagrass and aquatic vegetation are the main food source for manatees. On average, one manatee eats up to 10% of its body weight of aquatic vegetation in a day. Seagrass beds also help maintain good water quality for this important ecosystem. The root system helps to keep the sand on the sea floor and prevents it from getting stirred up in the water. This helps improve water clarity, allowing sunlight to penetrate the water and reach marine vegetation.
Construction will occupy the southeast region of the property, adjacent to the solar pavilion. While there is minimal effect expected to the center from construction, Manatee Lagoon urges visitors to exercise caution near the construction area. The new exhibit is expected to be completed in April.
About Manatee Lagoon
Manatee Lagoon is a Florida Power and Light Eco-Discovery Center. It is a free Palm Beach County educational attraction with a dedicated area to view manatees up close. The 16,000-squarefoot center features engaging, hands-on exhibits for visitors to learn all about the unique creatures as well as the natural wonders of the surrounding Lake Worth Lagoon. During the colder winter months, the facility’s observation deck is the ideal spot to view manatees basking in the clean, warm-water outflows from Florida Power & Light Company’s adjacent Riviera Beach Next Generation Clean Energy Center. Manatee Lagoon also offers digital resources and educational virtual content for manatee fans near and far on its website: VisitManateeLagoon.com.
For more information on Manatee Lagoon’s existing exhibits and ongoing free educational programs, please visit visitmanateelagoon.com.
The center is open seven days a week, 9 to 4, except for major holidays, through manatee season, which runs through March 2024. Manatee Lagoon is open the rest of the year Tuesday through Sunday, 9 to 4.
More questions than answers as Riviera Beach leaders investigate contamination of fecal matter in water
Sooji Namhttps://www.wpbf.com/article/florida-riviera-beach-e-coli-fecal-matter-water-wells-contamination/46687247

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. —
WPBF 25 News has been working the past three days to get more answers about the water contamination in Riviera Beach by requesting interviews with Mayor Ronnie Felder, City Manager Jonathan Evans, and Utility Director Michael Low.
But for the third day in a row, they have not returned calls or emails for an interview request or a written comment.
Earlier this week, the mayor said he was notified by the health department of Palm Beach County that there were two wells in the city that were positive for E. coli and fecal matter back in June.
On Wednesday night, the mayor and city council gathered together to discuss the issue and the next steps of the investigation.
"People are going to lose jobs if this is a coverup. So, prove to me that it's not," Felder said to the city utility director, Michael Low.
"I want to stress that we're not trying to cover anything up. We are keen to meet with the health department again," Low said.
WPBF 25 News spoke with Riviera Beach City Council Vice Chair Shirley Lanier about the meeting.
"I think the meeting went as well as it can be expected, in, you know, relation to people wanting to know rightfully so more about the water that they drink," Lanier said.
"What we’re expecting is to get information, to get answers in regard to what happened, when it happened and how the city can ensure that it doesn’t happen again," she said.
Late last month, Low and the city manager said water exposure to E. coli last year was limited to only one well, and it did not get into the drinking water supply.
But earlier this week, the mayor released information contradicting what was said in January.
He said he is looking into why it took this long for information about the contamination to be released months later.
WPBF 25 News obtained documents from Palm Beach County health officials about the investigation.
One of those documents is a letter to Low, citing possible violations, including failure to ussie a Tier 1 public notice, failure to notify the department within the timeframe, and failure to conduct repeat samples.
WPBF 25 News spoke with local restaurant owners about their response to the news of the contamination.
"It should have been faster because we deserve better than that," Demetri Salloum, owner of Rafiki Tiki Bar & Grill, told WPBF 25 News.
"They all should work the same way. They should be working together with all my respect to them," he said.
City leaders said they are working through the next steps of the investigation.
"We are taking every step humanly possible to be able to ensure the safety of our drinking water and to make sure that it never happens again," Lanier said.
In Wednesday night's council meeting, the mayor said he is bringing in an outside agency to conduct an investigation.

New county health documents say Riviera Beach "failed to comply" after discovering feces in drinking water

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. —
The Florida Health Department of Palm Beach County released new documents to WPBF 25 News about the City of Riviera Beach's handling of contaminated water back in June.
Infectious Disease specialist warns residents after fecal matter found in Riviera Beach water
On Monday, Mayor Ronnie Felder said he's been notified by the health department that E. coli and fecal matter were present in two of the city's wells.
Officials said the contamination leaked into the portable water distribution system.
"There was no letter sent to my apartment; my complex did not tell me about it," Samantha Andara, a resident in Riviera Beach, told WPBF 25 News.
She said she is concerned that it took all this time for the community to be informed about contamination from last year.
"The water quality, I’ve noticed that it’s been yellowish whenever I like, pour into a white cup or something to feed my dog," Andara said. "That’s why I started buying Brita filter, so I can filter it."
Late last month, during the city council meeting, the utility director and city manager said water exposure to E. coli last year was limited to only one well and that the contamination did not get into the drinking water supply.
But documents obtained by WPBF 25 News confirm that two wells were contaminated.
One of the reports stated:
"The City of Riviera Beach Utility District (City) collected their monthly compliance bacteriological samples during the month of June 2023 and sent them to the Department of Health in Palm Beach County (Department) on July 18, 2023. The sample results indicated that there was fecal contamination in two wells and one distribution sample. The unsatisfactory samples were collected on June 6, 2023, June 13, 2023, and June 27, 2023. The City was required by law to report these results to the Department, collect follow up samples, take other corrective actions, and issue a public notice within 24 hours of discovery of the alleged violations. The City failed to comply with the above legal requirements. The Department became aware of the acute violations when the City submitted its routine compliance bacteriological reports on July 18, 2023."
The documents also showed that the county was attempting to get in contact with the city's utility director since the results of the water sample:
"The Department sent a warning letter to the City on July 24, 2023. Michael Low from the City left a voicemail message with the Department concerning the warning letter on August 8, 2023. On August 11, 2023, the Department called Michael Low and left a voicemail message. On August 23, 2023, the Department called Michael Low and left a second voicemail message. On August 24, 2023, the Department sent a follow up email to Michael Low. On August 24, 2023, Michael Low replied to the Department’s email. Department and City representatives had a virtual meeting on September 7, 2023, to discuss the suspected violations. The Department and City representatives had a second meeting in person on December 6, 2023, to discuss the alleged violations. On January 18, 2024, the City submitted a draft public notice to the Department for review. On January 18, 2024, the Department approved the public notice. On January 19, 2024, the City published the public notice. The Department is currently performing its due diligence to complete the enforcement investigation."
Some residents said they are now dealing with medical issues.
"I’ve been having stomach problems ever since I’ve moved for sure," Andara, who said she drinks both tap and bottled water, said.
Local doctors told WPBF 25 News that you should seek medical care if your digestion feels off, or if you're experiencing diarrhea, bloating, gas or pain after eating.
During Monday's news conference, the mayor did reassure the community that the water is clean.
"I tend to launch a full investigation into this matter. I plan to determine why this occurrence was not reported to the health department in a timely manner," Felder said to reporters.
We reached out to the city's utility director and the city manager for a comment and are waiting to hear back.
The mayor said he would be available to interview with WPBF 25 News on Tuesday afternoon, but we are still waiting for his response.

With home in Palm Beach, Sylvester Stallone says he, wife will move to Florida 'permanently'

Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone and his wife have decided the next chapter of their lives will be spent in Florida rather than California, the “Rocky” star announced last week during an episode of “The Family Stallone” reality television series.
Stallone and his wife, former model Jennifer Flavin Stallone, have owned a vacation home in Palm Beach since December 2020, when they bought their estate through a trust for a recorded $35.38 million. They have since remodeled the gated lakefront property , which has a main residence and two outbuildings, at 1480 N. Ocean Blvd. on the North End.
Sylvester Stallone told his daughters — Scarlet, Sistine and Sophia — about the decision to relocate “permanently” to Florida on a Feb. 21 episode of the television series. The episode kicked off the show’s second season.
“After long, hard consideration, your mother and I have decided (it’s) time to move on and leave the state of California permanently,” he said. “And, we're going to Florida.”
He added: “We already have a place (in Florida). It's a done deal.”
Stallone also said he and his wife were going to sell their California house.
The Stallones are now empty-nesters, and that apparently influenced their decision to make Florida their permanent home. Two of their daughters are living in New York City and the other is enrolled at the University of Miami.

“I raised all three of our daughters in California,” Jennifer Stallone said during the Feb. 21 episode. "Everything's a memory to me, memories of them not being there anymore. So, I needed a big change, and Sly went along with it.”
On Friday, Florida first lady Casey DeSantis — in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter —expressed her pleasure that the Stallones would be permanent residents of the Sunshine State.
"Welcome to the Free State of Florida," DeSantis wrote.
The decision to relocate from Los Angeles was difficult, Sylvester Stallone said during the program. “We have a lot of roots in California, so it's not an easy transition to Florida," he said. "But Jennifer really had her heart set on it. I gave in.”
Born in New York, Stallone built his career in California, where he and his family have lived for many years. He also once owned a vacation home in Miami.
“The Family Stallone” premiered on Paramount+ in May 2023 and was then renewed for a second season.
The Stallones’ Carribean-style estate in Palm Beach encompasses 1½-acres with otudoor loggias, a swimming pool, a whirlpool spa and a sandy beach, all facing 254 feet of frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Sylvester Stallone had already declared himself a resident of Palm Beach County via a courthouse document recorded in January 2021. But the Stallones do not have their Palm Beach estate listed as their primary home in the latest Palm Beach County tax rolls.
In 2022, the Palm Beach estate made headlines when Jennifer Stallone filed for divorce. But the couple soon reconciled and ended the divorce action.
The Oscar-nominated star of the “Rocky” and “Rambo” movie franchises has strong ties to Florida.
Sly Stallone is a University of Miami Hurricane, with a BFA
During his student years, Stallone took classes at Miami Dade College before enrolling in the University of Miami’s acting school, where he received his bachelor’s of fine arts degree.
The celebrity’s Miami connection
In the 1990s, Sylvester Stallone owned a waterfront home on Miami’s Biscayne Bay, joining the likes, at the time, of pop superstar Madonna, singer Julio Iglesias, the Bee Gees’ Barry Gibb and Oprah Winfrey. Stallone sold the estate near Coconut Grove for a recorded $16.2 million in 1999.
Stallone's family ties to Palm Beach County
His late father and polo enthusiast, Frank Stallone Sr., had a longtime home in the equestrian village of Wellington, about 30 miles west of Palm Beach.
Who are Stallone's celebrity neighbors in Palm Beach?
Stallone is only one of a constellation of celebrities who own homes in Palm Beach. That list includes rockers Jon Bon Jovi and Rod Stewart, television host and radio shock jock Howard Stern; celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz; and conservative firebrand Sean Hannity.

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. — E. coli and fecal matter were present in two Riviera Beach wells and "did, in fact," seep into the city's drinking water supply, the mayor said on Monday.
According to Mayor Ronnie Felder, the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County told him the drinking water was contaminated by materials. The statement contradicts the prior statements from city staff, who told WPTV and the Riviera Beach City Council that the water wasn't contaminated after it went through the city's treatment plant.
Felder said he would start an investigation into the reasons city staff didn't report the issue to the state, the reason people didn't receive warnings about the contamination and the reasons staff incorrectly informed the council about the issue. He said he would seek "strict consequences" for all people involved in the error.
"Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right," Felder said. "Nearly every member of our City Council ran on clean water as a platform item. So it's my responsibility to ensure every resident of Riviera Beach has access to safe and clean water."
Felder declined to answer questions from reporters Monday. He didn't comment on the levels of the contamination or the specific places affected by the contamination. However, Felder said he believed the contamination doesn't exist as of Monday and implied the contamination occurred in June 2023.
Utility workers discovered fecal bacteria in one of the city's many wells in June 2023, but the city didn't notify residents until January.
Riviera Beach's delayed announcement drew the ire of City Council Member Tradrick McCoy.
"Nobody should be sitting here waiting seven months for an explanation about why there's fecal matter contamination in the city's well-water supply," McCoy said at a City Council meeting on Jan. 24.
Four council members accused McCoy of having an altercation with another council member after the council meeting in which he was cut off from speaking about the water issue because of a quorum concern. Those four council members voted to censure McCoy due to the altercation, which could allow Gov. Ron DeSantis to remove McCoy.
The fight is still under investigation by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, which didn't have an incident report related to the case as of Monday.
The seven-month delay in announcing the issue also bothered Cindy March, who lives in Riviera Beach. She said she feels frustrated over officials lying to the public about the issue and supports McCoy for becoming passionate about the issue.
"To find this is very disturbing to me," March said. "Because if you ran on clean water nine years ago when sitting in a council seat, something should have been done. ... The lying is frustrating."
Riviera Beach Utility Director Michael Low told WPTV's Dave Bohman the city didn't notify the public because the water was safe due to the treatment plant about three weeks ago. He also made a similar statement to the City Council last week.
"That very treatment process is designed to handle this situation," Low told the council last week. "Because of this, they decided the thing they should do immediately is protect the supply to the plant and shut it down."
He also blamed the county health department for taking that long to sign off on the language of the public notice.
The announcement from Felder contradicted the information from Low, who attended and didn't speak at the news briefing on Monday. WPTV contacted Low directly late Monday but did not hear back.
Deloris Williams, who came to the announcement at City Hall with a bucket of yellow-tinted tap water from her house, said she was not surprised by the water being contaminated. She said she believed it was contaminated because the water was yellow and showed WPTV how bleach clears up the water.
"The water used to be worse than this," Williams said. "...That they [are] lying and trying to make it like everything is right after and they've been doing this for spending millions of dollars on this thing here."
She believes the water is still contaminated with E.Coli because of the water's yellow tint. The city of Riviera Beach said the color comes from broken-down organic matter making it through the filtration process.
Construction hasn't started on a new water treatment plant for the city of Riveria Beach as of January. According to a sign on the land, construction was supposed to start in January 2022 and be completed by 2025.
A report, which was published in 2016, also found the city violated standards regarding its utilities multiple times.
