Not only that, the primary reason there are wetlands there is to accommodate wastewater. From the Palm Beach County Water Utilities website: Each day, the Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility pumps approximately two million gallons of highly treated wastewater into the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, which in turn acts as a percolation pond, returning billions of gallons of fresh water back into the water table.

And, as John pointed out above, without a wide effort, more may move in.
