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. Although the 313,906 gallons Titusville discharged to the lagoon was "fully treated," like most reclaimed water intended for irrigation, it still contained nitrogen and phosphorus that can fuel excess algae growth, as well as pharmaceuticals, personal care product compounds, household chemicals, hormones and endocrine-disrupting compounds that can harm marine life. Scientists have also found that treated sewage can contain trace levels of PFAS, a large family of persistent synthetic chemicals used in products ranging from firefighting foams to stain-resistant and water-resistant consumer goods.

Rising St. Johns River the latest threat from historic Central Florida flooding

Volusia County did not experience the rainfall that hit Brevard County and other areas to the south. Because the St. Johns River flows north, however, county officials say much of that water will eventually make its way into Volusia, potentially spilling into roadways and onto private properties. The county is urging anyone living near the river to fill sandbags and stock up on several days’ worth of household supplies. Near Lake Beresford in DeLand — which is connected to the St. Johns River — water has already crept well beyond its normal shoreline onto nearby properties. Volusia County officials say the impact will be felt most toward the end of the week, and they are urging residents to begin making preparations now.

Historic Floodwaters Tear Apart Port Malabar Boulevard in Palm Bay, Leaving an Overturned Car in the Rubble After 20 to 24 Inches of Rain

PALM BAY, FLORIDA — A photo from Palm Bay shows how powerful the historic flooding in Florida was. Along Port Malabar Boulevard, rushing floodwater broke the road apart and washed sections of it away, leaving behind slabs of shattered asphalt, broken pavement layers and an overturned car lying upside down in the rubble. The photo, credited to Tobin Taylor, was taken after the area received 20 to 24 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. The rain flooded roads and, in places like this one, destroyed them completely.
