Tropical Storm Fay Recovery Continues

As of Monday morning, recovery from the heavy rains of Tropical Storm Fay continues in Port St. Lucie.  Most of the water that caused flooding has receded, however some spots still have standing water and motorists are asked to continue using caution in these areas.

Assistance

Residents who need assistance with disaster recovery should call the following numbers to find out what resources are available:

Trash pick up

The city’s trash hauler (Waste Pro) is on regular schedule.  For questions, call Waste Pro at 595-9390.

Water and sewer

Customers of the Port St. Lucie Utility Systems Department are asked to continue conserving water by taking shorter showers, flushing less often and by minimizing the use of washing machines and dishwashers.  Because some rainwater does infiltrate the sewer system, less usage will help prevent an overload of the system.  Customers of the utility who are experiencing a problem with backflowing toilets or bathtubs can call (772) 873-6400.  Customers who purchase water and sewer services from the St. Lucie West Services District should call (772) 340-0220.

Swales

Please keep children from playing in flooded swales, which attract fire ants, snakes and other hazards.
