The City of Titusville is beginning the recovery phase this morning following one of the heaviest rainfall events in recent years, with official updates detailing the scale of the flooding and the city’s ongoing response.

Mayor Andrew Connors and City Council Member Sarah Stoeckel provided statements this morning, confirming that municipal crews are actively assessing damage and managing critical infrastructure after an unprecedented deluge.

Mayor’s Statement: “One of the Heaviest Rain Events”
“Over the past 18 hours, our community has endured nearly 15 inches of rainfall—one of the heaviest rain events we’ve seen in recent years,” said Mayor Connors. “I want to thank our Public Works, Fire, and Police departments for working around the clock to keep our roads safe, manage drainage systems, and respond to calls across the city.”

Mayor Andrew Connors addressed the community, thanking first responders and revealing the scale of the weather event. The Mayor confirmed that while some neighborhoods experienced significant flooding and standing water, crews are already on the ground clearing drains to help water recede. He urged continued vigilance:

“Please continue to avoid driving through flooded roadways, and report any major drainage or road issues through Titusville’s Citizen Request Tracker on the city website or by calling Public Works directly. Events like this remind us of both the power of nature and the strength of our community. Thank you to all the residents checking in on neighbors and helping one another during this stretch of extreme weather.” — Mayor Andrew Connors

City Council and Public Works Update
Councilwoman Sarah Stoeckel provided an 8:00 a.m. assessment from the City’s Public Works department, focusing on the status of the city’s wastewater management system:

• Lift Stations Improving: “As of 0800 first light assessment: Currently we have 41 lift stations on high level alert, this is down from 53 at the peak of the storm last night.”
• Power Recovery: Four (4) lift stations remain without FPL power but have portable generators successfully placed and running.
• Wastewater Overflow Confirmed: Councilwoman Stoeckel confirmed an overflow incident at the lift station on the Field Operations compound at Knox McRae. The overflow began this morning due to increased sewer usage. “So far approximately 11,000 gallons has overflowed but has been contained on site and we have the vactor working there around the clock to try to prevent the overflow from leaving the site.”

Ongoing Safety and Reporting
City crews began a comprehensive damage assessment at first light and continue to respond to calls for assistance. Residents are strongly advised to remain off flooded roads.
