According to the NWS, at 17 feet some roads flood and water approaches low-lying homes in the Silver Pines subdivision in Rockledge and low-lying structures along Pluckebaum Road in Cocoa and Rockledge. Low-lying structures in the Lake Washington area of Melbourne also flood, and many yards, ditches and pastures go under water.![]()

If the river reaches 17.2 feet, the NWS says water enters homes in the Lake Poinsett area west of Cocoa, in Silver Pines and in the Shakespeare Park area of Cocoa. Providence Road west of Cocoa would become impassable, cutting off access to homes in the Mullet Lane and Bass Road area, and docks and the parking lot at Lone Cabbage Fish Camp would flood.![]()

Nov. 4, 2:40 p.m., Update: Water Main Break Isolated![]()

The broken water main has been located and has been isolated from the rest of the water system so that repairs may begin. The water main was damaged by the severe flooding experienced in south Melbourne. ![]()

Because the broken water main has been isolated from the rest of the water distribution system, all customers should now have water service restored. However, some customers may still be experiencing lower-than-usual water pressure. ![]()

The precautionary boil water notice that was issued for all customers on November 2 is still in effect and could remain in effect through the end of the day Friday, November 6.![]()

Do you think the Brevard Supervisor of Elections did enough or anything at all to ensure people trapped could exercise their right to vote?
