Titusville Water and Sewer Service

The City of Titusville supplies its own drinking water and collects and treats its own sewage through Public Works, with accounts opened at the city's Customer Service office at 555 South Washington Avenue.

Three Titusville branches split the work. Water Production publishes the annual drinking water quality report (City of Titusville Consumer Confidence Report page); Water Reclamation operates the Blue Heron and Osprey plants that treat wastewater (City of Titusville Water Reclamation Branch); and Field Operations answers water main breaks and sewer backups (City of Titusville application for service page).

To start service, the city asks owners to bring a warranty deed, tenants a signed lease or owner's letter of authorization, and everyone a valid driver's license or ID to the Customer Service office (City of Titusville application for service page). Deposits, rates, payment options and shutoff rules are covered in the Titusville water bill and payments guide and are not repeated here.

Titusville's tap water is ground water pumped from Florida's Surficial and Floridan Aquifers, topped up with a small amount of treated water bought from the City of Cocoa.

The city's latest annual report, its 2024 drinking water report, says less than 2% of Titusville's drinking water was purchased from Cocoa (City of Titusville 2025 Water Quality Report). In 2024 the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ran a Source Water Assessment of potential contamination near the city wells and identified 11 unique potential contaminant sources, with susceptibility scores from 3.33 to 25 and concern levels from low to moderate. The detailed results are available from Water Production at (321) 567-3855 or on the FDEP source water assessment site.

Because part of the supply comes through Cocoa, the Titusville report also carries Cocoa's information: Cocoa sampled Taylor Creek Reservoir under the federal LT2 surface water rule and ozonates all of its surface water, and its own source water assessment is available from the City of Cocoa at (321) 433-8705 (City of Titusville 2025 Water Quality Report).

Titusville water is treated at the Mourning Dove Water Treatment Plant in three steps, coagulation, disinfection and filtration, and the plant averaged 4.464 million gallons per day in 2024.

In the clarifier, lime and a coagulant are mixed with raw water to reduce hardness and remove suspended solids. The water is then dosed with chlorine for disinfection, carbon dioxide to stabilize pH, fluoride and ammonia; the ammonia combines with the chlorine to form chloramines, which the city says reduce the taste and smell of chlorine and help hold a disinfectant residual in the pipes. Last, the water passes through rapid sand filters before storage (City of Titusville 2025 Water Quality Report).

Titusville also adjusts that routine during maintenance. A notice on the city home page, read on October 21, 2026, described a scheduled chlorine dosing in October 2026, in which Public Works temporarily adjusts its water disinfection process as part of routine distribution system maintenance (City of Titusville home page notice). The Water Production Branch menu also lists an Understanding Chlorine Dosings page (City of Titusville Consumer Confidence Report page).

The 2025 Titusville water quality report, covering 2024 testing, says the system had zero violations and met all federal and state requirements.

Two caveats come from the Titusville report itself. Some results are more than a year old because the state allows less frequent monitoring for contaminants not expected to vary much from year to year, and the fluoride and sodium samples in the table date from 02/2023 (City of Titusville 2025 Water Quality Report). And the chlorine figure is the highest running annual average, computed quarterly, not a single reading. The report says the Lead Service Line Inventory was completed and posted on the city website in 2024, and lead testing requests go to Water Production at 321-567-3876.

PFAS are reported separately. The Titusville PFAS page says the city must sample for twenty-nine PFAS compounds under the federal Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5 and began sampling voluntarily; its table lists PFOA at 2.4 ppt and PFOS at 2.2 ppt at the Mourning Dove plant point of entry and Undetectable at the Cocoa interconnect, against a proposed limit of 4 ppt for each (City of Titusville PFAS testing page). The table lists two collection dates, Sept 2025 and Dec 2024.

Titusville sewage is treated at two city water reclamation plants, the Blue Heron and the Osprey, which run 24 hours a day and clean wastewater to an advanced standard so it can be reused for irrigation.

Both plants are regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and supply data to the St. Johns River Water Management District, NOAA, the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers (City of Titusville Water Reclamation Branch). The Blue Heron facility has a design capacity of 4.0 million gallons per day, uses an A2O process, sends its effluent to reuse and wetlands, and produces Class AA biosolids; its effluent limits include 1 milligram per liter of total phosphorus and 3 milligrams per liter of total nitrogen (City of Titusville Blue Heron facility design page).

When something goes wrong, the city posts it. The Titusville Sanitary Sewer Overflows 2026 log lists each incident with the gallons overflowed, recovered and released and whether it was reported to FDEP; its first entry, on 1/30/26 at the Blue Heron plant, records a power failure followed by a generator failure, with 2108 gallons overflowed, 2108 recovered and 0 released (City of Titusville 2026 sewer overflow log). The same page links to the FDEP public notice of pollution sign up.

Reclaimed water in Titusville is treated sewage from the Blue Heron or Osprey plant, cleaned to near drinking water quality and sent through a separate pipe network for irrigation and commercial cooling towers only.

The city calls it an accessory service that is not necessary for basic health and safety, so it can be interrupted: if supply runs short or the water misses a standard, even one as simple as turbidity, service stops until it is back within limits (City of Titusville reclaimed water page). It is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the city notes that reclaimed water is not grey water, which is untreated wastewater from sinks and showers.

Reclaimed water falls under the same irrigation restrictions as well water, and the city page asks customers who find no reclaimed water to first check whether it is their watering day and time (City of Titusville reclaimed water page). Titusville Code Sec. 21-61 sets residential watering days: during Daylight Saving Time, odd-numbered or unnumbered addresses water on Wednesday and Saturday and even-numbered addresses on Thursday and Sunday; during Eastern Standard Time, odd addresses water on Saturday and even addresses on Sunday; and no landscape watering between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (Titusville Code Sec. 21-61).

For a Titusville water main break or sewer backup, call Field Operations at 321-567-3883 during working hours or the after hours emergency line at 321-383-5657.

The Titusville water production numbers differ by page: the Consumer Confidence Report page lists 321-567-3855 for questions and mailed copies, while the report itself lists (321) 567-3876 for water quality questions and (321) 567-3865 to request a copy by mail (City of Titusville 2025 Water Quality Report). All are printed here as each source shows them. Account questions go to Customer Service at 321-383-5791, Monday through Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm (City of Titusville application for service page).

Last verified: October 21, 2026, against the Titusville 2025 water quality report and its CCR page, the PFAS, Water Reclamation, Blue Heron design, reclaimed water and 2026 sewer overflow pages, the application for service page, the chlorine dosing notice and Code Sec. 21-61.
