If you see a flashing red light at one of the city's sewage lift stations, there may be a problem we need to know about. We'd cedrtainly appreciate it if you could please help us out by calling the Wastewater Treatment Facility and giving us the lift station number (if you know it) and/or the location of the lift station.

If you would like to arrange for a school tour, please call the Wastewater Treatment Facility, and we will be happy to schedule one for you.

**New! Hurricane Information for 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 system 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 (PDF) to keep sewage out of the streets and rivers of Rockledge.
