The public is asked to report any serious conditions to the city at (772) 871-5100, or to call 9-1-1 for emergencies
Residents are asked to keep children from playing in standing water, which may contain potential hazards such as snakes, fire ants, bacteria, etc.

Approximately 10 inches of rain fell on the city Monday, Aug. 27, adding to the four inches that fell Sunday. More than seven inches fell between 1 and 2 p.m.

Residents are asked to minimize water use such as unnecessary laundry washing, showering, etc. This is to prevent an overload to the sewerage system, which is infiltrated by stormwater during heavy rainfalls.

Crews are monitoring a 6-inch wastewater low-pressure line on Floresta Drive between Naranja and Verada avenues. It was exposed by erosion.

Floresta Drive between Naranja and Verada avenues is closed to all traffic because of major erosion
All other roads in the city are open again and passable, though several still have standing water
