1201 --1220 Heritage Acres Blvd. During natural or man-made disasters the boiling of water may not be possible due to the lack of power within water system's service area. If there is no power, residents and businesses should be instructed to disinfect their drinking water as follows: Tap water can be disinfected by adding 8 drops of unscented household bleach (4-6% active ingredients) to each gallon of water, then mixing the water and allowing it to stand for a minimum period of 30 minutes. Note: Cloudy water requires 16 drops of bleach and a 30 minute contact time. Also, other approved chemical disinfectants are available at stores that sell camping and hiking supplies. This is in effect until further notice. This is necessary to make sure the water is safe to drink. Samples will be picked up and tested on two (2) consecutive days. You will be notified in writing when we are sure that the water is safe to drink.

The City of Cocoa Utilities Department is offering 58 toilet rebates to customers in our service area on a first come first served basis in a continuing effort to conserve water. Toilets account for 30% of the water usage in the home. Older homes can have a toilet that uses up to 5-7 gallons per flush. An average household with four residents flushes the toilet 24 times a day which uses 52,560 gallons a year. When the water-guzzling toielt (6 gallons per flush) is replaced with a 1.6 gallon per flush toilet, that same household of four uses 14,016 gallons of water a year. That is a savings of 38,544 gallons of water per year. To receive a packet please e-mail ccarter@cocoafl.org or call 433-8705, Monday - Friday 7:30 am to 4:30 pm.
