Reminder to Restaurants

As restaurants resume normal levels of activity, the City Sewer Use Ordinance requires all traps/interceptors/etc., to be cleaned at least once every 3 months, or more frequently if directed or required.  Buildup of fats/oils/greases cause sewer clogs, which can lead to Sanitary Sewer Overflows.

**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.
