As you know, we are in the midst of another hurricane season, and the Wastewater Treatment Department has provided some helpful information for owners of private lift stations. Without preparation, Sanitary Sewer Overflows can and will occur at public and private lift stations during hurricane events, resulting in sewage in public areas, which creates health hazards and drainage into the St. Johns River or Indian River Lagoon.
The City of Rockledge currently maintains over fifty City-owned sewer lift stations, and responses to City lift stations and collection systems take priority during storm events and recovery efforts.
As an owner of a Private Lift Station/Sewer Station, are you prepared for the next hurricane?
Please review this list of questions and helpful information to keep sewage of of the streets and rivers of Rockledge.
Thank you.
