Record rains overwhelm some Brevard County sewer plants

Hundreds of thousands of gallons of treated sewage poured into Indian River Lagoon in Titusville as the city's Osprey Water Reclamation Facility was overwhelmed by this past week's 1-in-1,000-year rainstorms. Titusville's reclaimed water spill looks to be the largest wastewater discharge so far into the lagoon, among the several city and county plants overtaxed by the torrential rain on Nov. 1-2 that dumped almost two feet of water in two days in some parts of Brevard County.
