•Neutered pets are more loving and better tempered pets.

•Neutered cats are less likely to mark their territory (or spray).

•A spayed female doesn't have estrus (or heat cycles). The estrus cycle happens about twice a year for dogs and three or more times a year for cats. It can last for six or more days and often results in a distracted, nervous female??who may cry or howl??and numerous unwanted male visitors.

•Neutered pets are less likely to bite. While neutering isn't a cure for all behavior problems, in combination with training it can mean drastic changes in a pet' s behavior, almost always for the better.

•Male dogs or cats who are neutered are much less likely to run away or get into fights.

It is the policy of the Edgewater Police Department that enforcement profiling is prohibited in conducting traffic and/or field contacts, asset seizure, and forfeiture efforts or any other law enforcement activities pursuant to F.S.S. 166.0493.

It is the responsibility of the Edgewater Police department to conduct patrol operations in a proactive manner, to aggressively investigate suspicious persons and circumstances, and to actively enforce the motor vehicle laws of the State of Florida, while insisting that citizens will only be stopped or detained when there exists reasonable suspicion to believe they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit, an infraction or violation of the law.

It is the policy of this department to provide citizens with the highest degree of law enforcement services, regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, age, income status, sexual orientation, and religious or political affiliation.

A fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States to all who live in this nation is the right to equal protection under the law. Along with this right is the fundamental right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by government agencies. Citizens are free to walk and drive our streets, highways, and other public places without police interference so long as they obey the law. They are also entitled to be free from crime, and from the depredations of criminals, and to remain safe from the actions of reckless and careless drivers.

The Edgewater Police Department is charged with protecting these rights for all, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious or political affiliation, physical handicap or other belief system.

This policy is intended to assist the officers of the Edgewater Police Department in accomplishing this mission in a way that respects the dignity of all persons, and yet sends a strong deterrent message to actual and potential violators that if a law is violated, a police encounter will follow.

•One dog and her puppies, in just six years, can produce 67,000 puppies.

•In seven years, one cat and her offspring can be the source of 420,000 cats.

•In the United States, every day, 70,000 (or more) puppies and kittens are born. Just 10,000 humans are born each day.

Who will take care of all these dogs and cats? It's not just a problem of too many -- each pet is an individual life.

Today, the department continues to operate a combination department with 28 career personnel and many volunteers, which makeup three divisions. The Operations Division is balanced in three platoons of firefighters that work shift work of on-duty for 24 hours and then off-duty for 48 hours. The three platoons staff two stations and respond to emergency and non-emergency request for service calls. The Life Safety Division is comprised of the fire marshal, who coordinates the fire prevention aspect of the fire service. Code Enforcement and Animal Services makeup the Community Services Division. A very active not-for-profit auxiliary that is made up of departmental members as well as their family members and other residents that want to support their community fire department also support the Department.

The auxiliary is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization and is commonly referred to as the Association. Along with fund-raising activities, the association sponsors many little league sports teams and supports the community through various activities. The association has also assisted in the coordination of the annual Fourth of July festivities for community for over 50 years. The association also garnishes support to the Operations Division by the provision of support personnel to do non-emergency tasks on large incidents and at trainings.

The Edgewater Fire Department has advanced a long way from a police chief carrying water tanks in the trunk of his patrol car responding to five brush fires per year, into a well-organized combination department responding to an average of 2,700 incidents annually. Not only has the department increased its call volume, it also has expanded the level of service to provide emergency medical services, hazardous materials response fire suppression, business inspections, emergency management, water rescue and a variety of public education courses including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, first aid and baby-sitter courses. The department also manages all aspects of code enforcement and animal services.

The department continues to pride itself on providing very cost effective services while assuring that the level of service or the customer service is never below the expectations of the community. As the department continues to plan for the future, the community can expect continuous expansion of the services that are offered to the citizens. The present goals will guide the department towards the ability to provide ambulance transport for the residents, increased working relationships with neighboring communities and additional home healthcare services delivered to patients confined to their homes.

In April of 1948 Fire Chief Cannon became ill and Elmer Bane was appointed acting Chief. Bane served as acting chief until October when he was elected chief and then served until 1952. The firemen were notified of fire by a siren that was installed on a pole at the corner of Park Avenue, which was located in the center of town. When there was a fire, one of the volunteer firemen that lived next to the siren would blow it. A shed to store their first fire truck an American LaFrance was constructed on Park Avenue where the water department is currently located. The shed was constructed by the firemen on evenings and weekends.

In 1948 the department had responded to five fire calls and conducted drills once a month. By 1951, the department responded to 26 fires. Because of the number of brush fires in the area, the year 1952 brought about some changes. Chief Banes wanted to purchase a unit with the capability of pumping from the front. When the department bought a new 1950 Seagrave Engine despite his protests, he, along with several members, quit in April of 1952.

In 1953, the men started a dues assessment on themselves to raise funds to purchase another fire truck. A used truck was purchased and fitted with a custom built tank. A pump and booster hose was then added. Later, 1 1/2 fire hose was purchased and installed. All of this was done by volunteers without assistance from the city. Meanwhile, the wives of the firemen formed the auxiliary to the department in 1953.

In 1957, a Board of Governors was installed by the Town Council to run the community center. The department assisted the board in the selling of raffle tickets to be used to purchase air conditioners for the center. The first Little Miss Edgewater contest was held at the community center on July 4, 1957, and was later changed to include Little Master.

In 1965 a new Class A Pumper was purchased for the department. Once the new apparatus was placed into service, the old Seagrave was retired from service. By the late ‘60s, the department again started to experience growing pains and plans were formulated for a new firehouse. Property was purchased further south - closer to the center of the shifting population. Ground was broken in 1972 and many hours by the volunteers were dedicated to the design and construction of the new larger firehouse. The volunteer firemen and their families again constructed the firehouse. The department moved to the new location in 1973. The apparatus bay of the old fire station became a storage facility for two years until the city remodeled it into a police station, which moved the police department out of City Hall. The old meeting room was turned over to the newly formed Edgewater Volunteer Emergency Rescue (EVER) department, which formed in 1975. EVER remained in the old firehouse until 1981 when the Edgewater Rotary built a new building next to the new firehouse. Then the police department used the old firehouse as their sole facility until the late ‘80s.

In 1976, the increase in brush fires lead to the purchase of a four-wheel drive truck, which was accommodated with a 200-gallon tank with a pump and a booster reel that was donated to the department by a local widowed doctor’s wife. Later in the year a mutual aid pact was signed with the Division of Forestry Services and the fire department received a used 500-gallon tanker in return. One of Edgewater’s largest structure fires took place in November of 1976 and started the workings of a countywide mutual aid agreement. This fire destroyed Coronado Paint Company, which was one of Edgewater’s largest manufacturing businesses and brought units from as far as Brevard County and the Kennedy Space Center. An incident of this magnitude proved multi-jurisdictional fire departments could work well together and initiated a mutual pact for all of Volusia County.

Fire Station #2 was completed in 1981 and housed additional brush trucks and apparatus purchased by the county to fulfill the agreement. The station was the fourth fire station that the volunteer firemen and their families had constructed for the city. That year continued to test the mutual aid agreement with large brush fires, including one in June. This fire was started by lightning in the Crane Swamp area west of Edgewater and burned for three months. The State Forestry took command, but many hours were spent by Edgewater’s volunteer firemen assisting with extinguishing the fire.

At the end of 1989, the fire department and the rescue department were joined together. Beforehand, they were completely separate with many members serving on both departments. In November of 1989, the city hired its first paid fire department members to create a combination career and volunteer department. The first hiring consisted of a fire chief and a lieutenant who were directed to hire an inspector and three additional firefighters. All staff members, with the exception of the fire chief, were hired from the volunteers. This made the department transition easier. The career members were scheduled to cover daytime hours during the week when the volunteer response was low due to the volunteers working regular jobs.

By 1995 the city continued to grow, as did the number of emergency incidents. Since the majority of the incidents were medical in nature and most of them required advanced life support, the city had decided to enhance the services with the addition of paramedics. With several members already having completed their paramedic training it was only a matter of obtaining appropriate equipment and licensing. The department identified the task as one of their goals and later began offering the enhanced services to the community on Dec. 25, 1995.

In 2001 the department experienced another transition as the city manager had initiated some reorganization and placed the Code Enforcement and Animal Services into the department. The additional responsibilities required the department to create another division in order to supervise these services. The Division of Community Services was created and was supervised by the fire marshal.

It's just what it sounds like: the water is flowing in the opposite direction from its normal flow. With the direction of flow reversed due to a change in pressures, backflow can allow contaminants to enter our drinking water system through cross-connections.

A potentially hazardous cross-connection occurs every time someone uses a garden hose sprayer to apply insecticides or herbicides to their lawn. Another cross-connection occurs when someone uses their garden hose to clear a stoppage in their sewer line.

Without a backflow prevention assembly between your hose and hose bibb (spigot or outside faucet), the contents of the hose and anything it is connected to can backflow into the piping system and contaminate your drinking water.

This hazardous situation can affect more than a single home. In 1977, an entire town in North Dakota had to be rationed drinking water from National Guard water trucks while the town's water distribution system was flushed and disinfected following contamination by DDT. Investigation determined that two residents spraying DDT had made direct cross-connections to their homes. A backflow condition had occurred, sucking the DDT through the home piping systems and out into the town's water distribution system.

Backflows due to cross-connections are serious plumbing problems. They can cause sickness and even death. However, they can be avoided by the use of proper backflow prevention assemblies. Each spigot at your home should have a hose bibb vacuum breaker installed. This is a simple, inexpensive assembly which can be purchased at any plumbing or hardware store. Installation is as easy as attaching your garden hose to a spigot.

Are you unknowingly exposing your family to potentially harmful bacteria and viruses?

The City of Edgewater provides a monthly utility bill.  It is often confused as a “water bill” when it is compared to other nearby communities’ monthly water bills. Your monthly utility bill is all inclusive (water, sewer, stormwater, garbage and recycling). In other cities many of these services are billed separately through annual tax assessment.

Beginning October 1, 2023 there is scheduled to be an increase (once approved by City Council) of fees for Water, Sewer, Stormwater and Solid Waste (Refuse and Recycling).  For households that use an average of 3,000 gallons per month, this means an increase of $.85 for Water, $.09 for Utility Tax (10% of Water) and $1.62 for Sewer per month. The Stormwater increases by $.50 per month with a Solid Waste (Recycling) increase of $.52 per month and Solid Waste (Refuse) increasing by $2.10 per month.

The funds derived from utility bills support projects crucial to the environment and utility infrastructure of the City such as:

• Expansion of reclaim water lines to provide reclaim irrigation water to other areas of the community, reducing discharge to the Indian River Lagoon
• Lining of older sewer lines to reduce rain water intrusion into the sewer system
• Routine repair and maintenance to the utility infrastructure
• Improved maintenance and cleaning of the storm water conveyance system with specialized equipment
• Future replacement of the Public Works facility
• Reasonable Assurance Plan improvement projects to clean storm water before it discharges to the Indian River or Hammock recharge area as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
• Replacement of older water lines for increased pressure and water quality
• Stormwater quality projects to reduce nutrients in rainwater runoff in accordance with the cooperative reasonable assurance plan

The City of Edgewater owns the meter and the backflow prevention assembly as well as the pipes connecting them to our system. The property owner owns from the outside of the backflow prevention assembly into the building or home and is responsible for repair and maintenance.

The reason is two-fold. The first is that the City of Edgewater made a commitment to improve the quality of stormwater discharging into waterways. Stormwater is responsible for about 90% of the heavy metals, sediments, and pollution of the waterways.

The second is that the State of Florida enacted laws regulating stormwater which are reflected in municipal comprehensive plans. These laws include requirements for improving the quality of discharges into waterways.

The City of Edgewater is in the process of replacing all water meters throughout the city.  The meters currently in use are reaching the end of their useful life and are due to be replaced. This process will take several years to complete since all the meters (13,000+) throughout the City were originally installed at approximately the same time.  Along with the meter replacements, the City is also upgrading to the Sensus FlexNet system that will use smart meters and transmitters to send readings on an hourly basis to the Sensus Analytics Software.  This FlexNet communication network will allow the customer to view their consumption history and send alerts to the customer to inform them of any potential leak issues in order to address problems in the field faster and provide better service to our customers.

On a related note, at the January 11, 2021 City Council meeting a local plumber offered private assistance to residents regarding evaluation of their water meters.  The City of Edgewater does not endorse this service by any private plumbing business.  Residents with questions or concerns regarding their water meter or utility bill are encouraged to contact at Customer Service representative at 386-424-2400 x4000 or email customerservice@cityofedgewater.org.

In one way or another, all of us ? including those who do not even have pets are affected by animal overpopulation.

Millions of tax dollars are spent annually to care for lost, abandoned, and unwanted pets. . . and millions more to put to sleep those that were not fortunate enough to find a home.

The health and safety of our communities is another concern. The greater the population of unwanted animals, the greater the incidence of such animal related issues as rabies, dog bites, cat scratches, traffic accidents, and animal abuse.

There will be an additional inspection fee that must be prepaid prior to the re-inspection date.

A new Florida state law prohibits local governments from investigating anonymous code compliance complaints. Known as Senate Bill 60, the law went into effect July 1, 2021, and specifically states that a code compliance officer may not initiate a potential violation investigation that stems from an anonymous complaint.

The primary function of the City of Edgewater Code Enforcement Division is to educate the citizens about City codes. The codes apply to each and every property within the City. The purpose is to ensure that all neighborhoods and properties are maintained to a minimum standard.

Homeowner’s associations are private organizations that are paid by designated neighborhoods to oversee maintenance standards, as established by written codes, covenants and restrictions for the properties within specific neighborhoods that were designed to be managed by a homeowner’s association. Homeowner’s associations have the right to enforce and assess fines to home owners in accordance with the homeowner’s association’s codes, covenants and restrictions. Every property owner within these designated neighborhoods signs documents agreeing to the standards that have been established and will abide by any penalties assessed.

A homeowner’s association may establish maintenance standards that require a higher standard of upkeep than the City codes. Neighborhoods that are within homeowner’s association are required to abide by City code requirements.

Code Enforcement can enforce City code standards within a homeowner’s association area. However, a code enforcement officer does not enforce home owner’s association requirements. Homeowner’s associations only may enforce maintenance standards within their designated neighborhood.

Approved by the Edgewater Community Redevelopment Agency at a meeting held on this 3^rd  day of April, 2017 under Agenda Item No.4a.   

•Neutered pets are more loving and better tempered pets.

•Neutered cats are less likely to mark their territory (or spray).

•A spayed female doesn't have estrus (or heat cycles). The estrus cycle happens about twice a year for dogs and three or more times a year for cats. It can last for six or more days and often results in a distracted, nervous female??who may cry or howl??and numerous unwanted male visitors.

•Neutered pets are less likely to bite. While neutering isn't a cure for all behavior problems, in combination with training it can mean drastic changes in a pet' s behavior, almost always for the better.

•Male dogs or cats who are neutered are much less likely to run away or get into fights.

Rotary Park has a designated Dog Park. Parks located on Riverside Drive are accessible by pet owners, with the requirement the dog must be on a leash.

All park pavilions and facilities are available first come, first serve.  For those who want to make sure space for their gathering is secured, formal pavilion and gazebo reservations are now available at Menard May Park, Rotary Park, Kennedy Park and Highland Park.  For more information go to Park Reservations.

To avoid scheduling conflicts with a city event, please call the Parks & Recreation office at (386) 424-2400 ext. 7205.

It is the policy of the Edgewater Police Department that enforcement profiling is prohibited in conducting traffic and/or field contacts, asset seizure, and forfeiture efforts or any other law enforcement activities pursuant to F.S.S. 166.0493.

It is the responsibility of the Edgewater Police department to conduct patrol operations in a proactive manner, to aggressively investigate suspicious persons and circumstances, and to actively enforce the motor vehicle laws of the State of Florida, while insisting that citizens will only be stopped or detained when there exists reasonable suspicion to believe they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit, an infraction or violation of the law.

It is the policy of this department to provide citizens with the highest degree of law enforcement services, regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, age, income status, sexual orientation, and religious or political affiliation.

A fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States to all who live in this nation is the right to equal protection under the law. Along with this right is the fundamental right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by government agencies. Citizens are free to walk and drive our streets, highways, and other public places without police interference so long as they obey the law. They are also entitled to be free from crime, and from the depredations of criminals, and to remain safe from the actions of reckless and careless drivers.

The Edgewater Police Department is charged with protecting these rights for all, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious or political affiliation, physical handicap or other belief system.

This policy is intended to assist the officers of the Edgewater Police Department in accomplishing this mission in a way that respects the dignity of all persons, and yet sends a strong deterrent message to actual and potential violators that if a law is violated, a police encounter will follow.

Although we do not have a method of accepting payment by phone, you are able to pay for a permit through our website. If you go to "Schedule an Inspection" under 'Building & Permitting', you can enter in your permit number and make a payment with a credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. If you are making a payment in person we also accept cash and checks.

•One dog and her puppies, in just six years, can produce 67,000 puppies.

•In seven years, one cat and her offspring can be the source of 420,000 cats.

•In the United States, every day, 70,000 (or more) puppies and kittens are born. Just 10,000 humans are born each day.

Who will take care of all these dogs and cats? It's not just a problem of too many -- each pet is an individual life.

Today, the department continues to operate a combination department with 28 career personnel and many volunteers, which makeup three divisions. The Operations Division is balanced in three platoons of firefighters that work shift work of on-duty for 24 hours and then off-duty for 48 hours. The three platoons staff two stations and respond to emergency and non-emergency request for service calls. The Life Safety Division is comprised of the fire marshal, who coordinates the fire prevention aspect of the fire service. Code Enforcement and Animal Services makeup the Community Services Division. A very active not-for-profit auxiliary that is made up of departmental members as well as their family members and other residents that want to support their community fire department also support the Department.

The auxiliary is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization and is commonly referred to as the Association. Along with fund-raising activities, the association sponsors many little league sports teams and supports the community through various activities. The association has also assisted in the coordination of the annual Fourth of July festivities for community for over 50 years. The association also garnishes support to the Operations Division by the provision of support personnel to do non-emergency tasks on large incidents and at trainings.

The Edgewater Fire Department has advanced a long way from a police chief carrying water tanks in the trunk of his patrol car responding to five brush fires per year, into a well-organized combination department responding to an average of 2,700 incidents annually. Not only has the department increased its call volume, it also has expanded the level of service to provide emergency medical services, hazardous materials response fire suppression, business inspections, emergency management, water rescue and a variety of public education courses including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, first aid and baby-sitter courses. The department also manages all aspects of code enforcement and animal services.

The department continues to pride itself on providing very cost effective services while assuring that the level of service or the customer service is never below the expectations of the community. As the department continues to plan for the future, the community can expect continuous expansion of the services that are offered to the citizens. The present goals will guide the department towards the ability to provide ambulance transport for the residents, increased working relationships with neighboring communities and additional home healthcare services delivered to patients confined to their homes.

In April of 1948 Fire Chief Cannon became ill and Elmer Bane was appointed acting Chief. Bane served as acting chief until October when he was elected chief and then served until 1952. The firemen were notified of fire by a siren that was installed on a pole at the corner of Park Avenue, which was located in the center of town. When there was a fire, one of the volunteer firemen that lived next to the siren would blow it. A shed to store their first fire truck an American LaFrance was constructed on Park Avenue where the water department is currently located. The shed was constructed by the firemen on evenings and weekends.

In 1948 the department had responded to five fire calls and conducted drills once a month. By 1951, the department responded to 26 fires. Because of the number of brush fires in the area, the year 1952 brought about some changes. Chief Banes wanted to purchase a unit with the capability of pumping from the front. When the department bought a new 1950 Seagrave Engine despite his protests, he, along with several members, quit in April of 1952.

In 1953, the men started a dues assessment on themselves to raise funds to purchase another fire truck. A used truck was purchased and fitted with a custom built tank. A pump and booster hose was then added. Later, 1 1/2 fire hose was purchased and installed. All of this was done by volunteers without assistance from the city. Meanwhile, the wives of the firemen formed the auxiliary to the department in 1953.

In 1957, a Board of Governors was installed by the Town Council to run the community center. The department assisted the board in the selling of raffle tickets to be used to purchase air conditioners for the center. The first Little Miss Edgewater contest was held at the community center on July 4, 1957, and was later changed to include Little Master.

In 1965 a new Class A Pumper was purchased for the department. Once the new apparatus was placed into service, the old Seagrave was retired from service. By the late ‘60s, the department again started to experience growing pains and plans were formulated for a new firehouse. Property was purchased further south - closer to the center of the shifting population. Ground was broken in 1972 and many hours by the volunteers were dedicated to the design and construction of the new larger firehouse. The volunteer firemen and their families again constructed the firehouse. The department moved to the new location in 1973. The apparatus bay of the old fire station became a storage facility for two years until the city remodeled it into a police station, which moved the police department out of City Hall. The old meeting room was turned over to the newly formed Edgewater Volunteer Emergency Rescue (EVER) department, which formed in 1975. EVER remained in the old firehouse until 1981 when the Edgewater Rotary built a new building next to the new firehouse. Then the police department used the old firehouse as their sole facility until the late ‘80s.

In 1976, the increase in brush fires lead to the purchase of a four-wheel drive truck, which was accommodated with a 200-gallon tank with a pump and a booster reel that was donated to the department by a local widowed doctor’s wife. Later in the year a mutual aid pact was signed with the Division of Forestry Services and the fire department received a used 500-gallon tanker in return. One of Edgewater’s largest structure fires took place in November of 1976 and started the workings of a countywide mutual aid agreement. This fire destroyed Coronado Paint Company, which was one of Edgewater’s largest manufacturing businesses and brought units from as far as Brevard County and the Kennedy Space Center. An incident of this magnitude proved multi-jurisdictional fire departments could work well together and initiated a mutual pact for all of Volusia County.

Fire Station #2 was completed in 1981 and housed additional brush trucks and apparatus purchased by the county to fulfill the agreement. The station was the fourth fire station that the volunteer firemen and their families had constructed for the city. That year continued to test the mutual aid agreement with large brush fires, including one in June. This fire was started by lightning in the Crane Swamp area west of Edgewater and burned for three months. The State Forestry took command, but many hours were spent by Edgewater’s volunteer firemen assisting with extinguishing the fire.

At the end of 1989, the fire department and the rescue department were joined together. Beforehand, they were completely separate with many members serving on both departments. In November of 1989, the city hired its first paid fire department members to create a combination career and volunteer department. The first hiring consisted of a fire chief and a lieutenant who were directed to hire an inspector and three additional firefighters. All staff members, with the exception of the fire chief, were hired from the volunteers. This made the department transition easier. The career members were scheduled to cover daytime hours during the week when the volunteer response was low due to the volunteers working regular jobs.

By 1995 the city continued to grow, as did the number of emergency incidents. Since the majority of the incidents were medical in nature and most of them required advanced life support, the city had decided to enhance the services with the addition of paramedics. With several members already having completed their paramedic training it was only a matter of obtaining appropriate equipment and licensing. The department identified the task as one of their goals and later began offering the enhanced services to the community on Dec. 25, 1995.

In 2001 the department experienced another transition as the city manager had initiated some reorganization and placed the Code Enforcement and Animal Services into the department. The additional responsibilities required the department to create another division in order to supervise these services. The Division of Community Services was created and was supervised by the fire marshal.

It's just what it sounds like: the water is flowing in the opposite direction from its normal flow. With the direction of flow reversed due to a change in pressures, backflow can allow contaminants to enter our drinking water system through cross-connections.

A potentially hazardous cross-connection occurs every time someone uses a garden hose sprayer to apply insecticides or herbicides to their lawn. Another cross-connection occurs when someone uses their garden hose to clear a stoppage in their sewer line.

Without a backflow prevention assembly between your hose and hose bibb (spigot or outside faucet), the contents of the hose and anything it is connected to can backflow into the piping system and contaminate your drinking water.

This hazardous situation can affect more than a single home. In 1977, an entire town in North Dakota had to be rationed drinking water from National Guard water trucks while the town's water distribution system was flushed and disinfected following contamination by DDT. Investigation determined that two residents spraying DDT had made direct cross-connections to their homes. A backflow condition had occurred, sucking the DDT through the home piping systems and out into the town's water distribution system.

Backflows due to cross-connections are serious plumbing problems. They can cause sickness and even death. However, they can be avoided by the use of proper backflow prevention assemblies. Each spigot at your home should have a hose bibb vacuum breaker installed. This is a simple, inexpensive assembly which can be purchased at any plumbing or hardware store. Installation is as easy as attaching your garden hose to a spigot.

Are you unknowingly exposing your family to potentially harmful bacteria and viruses?

The City of Edgewater provides a monthly utility bill.  It is often confused as a “water bill” when it is compared to other nearby communities’ monthly water bills. Your monthly utility bill is all inclusive (water, sewer, stormwater, garbage and recycling). In other cities many of these services are billed separately through annual tax assessment.

Beginning October 1, 2023 there is scheduled to be an increase (once approved by City Council) of fees for Water, Sewer, Stormwater and Solid Waste (Refuse and Recycling).  For households that use an average of 3,000 gallons per month, this means an increase of $.85 for Water, $.09 for Utility Tax (10% of Water) and $1.62 for Sewer per month. The Stormwater increases by $.50 per month with a Solid Waste (Recycling) increase of $.52 per month and Solid Waste (Refuse) increasing by $2.10 per month.

The funds derived from utility bills support projects crucial to the environment and utility infrastructure of the City such as:

• Expansion of reclaim water lines to provide reclaim irrigation water to other areas of the community, reducing discharge to the Indian River Lagoon
• Lining of older sewer lines to reduce rain water intrusion into the sewer system
• Routine repair and maintenance to the utility infrastructure
• Improved maintenance and cleaning of the storm water conveyance system with specialized equipment
• Future replacement of the Public Works facility
• Reasonable Assurance Plan improvement projects to clean storm water before it discharges to the Indian River or Hammock recharge area as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
• Replacement of older water lines for increased pressure and water quality
• Stormwater quality projects to reduce nutrients in rainwater runoff in accordance with the cooperative reasonable assurance plan

The City of Edgewater owns the meter and the backflow prevention assembly as well as the pipes connecting them to our system. The property owner owns from the outside of the backflow prevention assembly into the building or home and is responsible for repair and maintenance.

The reason is two-fold. The first is that the City of Edgewater made a commitment to improve the quality of stormwater discharging into waterways. Stormwater is responsible for about 90% of the heavy metals, sediments, and pollution of the waterways.

The second is that the State of Florida enacted laws regulating stormwater which are reflected in municipal comprehensive plans. These laws include requirements for improving the quality of discharges into waterways.

The City of Edgewater is in the process of replacing all water meters throughout the city.  The meters currently in use are reaching the end of their useful life and are due to be replaced. This process will take several years to complete since all the meters (13,000+) throughout the City were originally installed at approximately the same time.  Along with the meter replacements, the City is also upgrading to the Sensus FlexNet system that will use smart meters and transmitters to send readings on an hourly basis to the Sensus Analytics Software.  This FlexNet communication network will allow the customer to view their consumption history and send alerts to the customer to inform them of any potential leak issues in order to address problems in the field faster and provide better service to our customers.

On a related note, at the January 11, 2021 City Council meeting a local plumber offered private assistance to residents regarding evaluation of their water meters.  The City of Edgewater does not endorse this service by any private plumbing business.  Residents with questions or concerns regarding their water meter or utility bill are encouraged to contact at Customer Service representative at 386-424-2400 x4000 or email customerservice@cityofedgewater.org.

In one way or another, all of us ? including those who do not even have pets are affected by animal overpopulation.

Millions of tax dollars are spent annually to care for lost, abandoned, and unwanted pets. . . and millions more to put to sleep those that were not fortunate enough to find a home.

The health and safety of our communities is another concern. The greater the population of unwanted animals, the greater the incidence of such animal related issues as rabies, dog bites, cat scratches, traffic accidents, and animal abuse.

There will be an additional inspection fee that must be prepaid prior to the re-inspection date.

Yes, both tenants and the property owner (or their designated representative) are encouraged to be present during inspections.  Informational exchanges are critical to the success of the program.

A new Florida state law prohibits local governments from investigating anonymous code compliance complaints. Known as Senate Bill 60, the law went into effect July 1, 2021, and specifically states that a code compliance officer may not initiate a potential violation investigation that stems from an anonymous complaint.

The primary function of the City of Edgewater Code Enforcement Division is to educate the citizens about City codes. The codes apply to each and every property within the City. The purpose is to ensure that all neighborhoods and properties are maintained to a minimum standard.

Homeowner’s associations are private organizations that are paid by designated neighborhoods to oversee maintenance standards, as established by written codes, covenants and restrictions for the properties within specific neighborhoods that were designed to be managed by a homeowner’s association. Homeowner’s associations have the right to enforce and assess fines to home owners in accordance with the homeowner’s association’s codes, covenants and restrictions. Every property owner within these designated neighborhoods signs documents agreeing to the standards that have been established and will abide by any penalties assessed.

A homeowner’s association may establish maintenance standards that require a higher standard of upkeep than the City codes. Neighborhoods that are within homeowner’s association are required to abide by City code requirements.

Code Enforcement can enforce City code standards within a homeowner’s association area. However, a code enforcement officer does not enforce home owner’s association requirements. Homeowner’s associations only may enforce maintenance standards within their designated neighborhood.

Approved by the Edgewater Community Redevelopment Agency at a meeting held on this 3^rd  day of April, 2017 under Agenda Item No.4a.   

•Neutered pets are more loving and better tempered pets.

•Neutered cats are less likely to mark their territory (or spray).

•A spayed female doesn't have estrus (or heat cycles). The estrus cycle happens about twice a year for dogs and three or more times a year for cats. It can last for six or more days and often results in a distracted, nervous female??who may cry or howl??and numerous unwanted male visitors.

•Neutered pets are less likely to bite. While neutering isn't a cure for all behavior problems, in combination with training it can mean drastic changes in a pet' s behavior, almost always for the better.

•Male dogs or cats who are neutered are much less likely to run away or get into fights.

Rotary Park has a designated Dog Park. Parks located on Riverside Drive are accessible by pet owners, with the requirement the dog must be on a leash.

All park pavilions and facilities are available first come, first serve.  For those who want to make sure space for their gathering is secured, formal pavilion and gazebo reservations are now available at Menard May Park, Rotary Park, Kennedy Park and Highland Park.  For more information go to Park Reservations.

To avoid scheduling conflicts with a city event, please call the Parks & Recreation office at (386) 424-2400 ext. 7205.

It is the policy of the Edgewater Police Department that enforcement profiling is prohibited in conducting traffic and/or field contacts, asset seizure, and forfeiture efforts or any other law enforcement activities pursuant to F.S.S. 166.0493.

It is the responsibility of the Edgewater Police department to conduct patrol operations in a proactive manner, to aggressively investigate suspicious persons and circumstances, and to actively enforce the motor vehicle laws of the State of Florida, while insisting that citizens will only be stopped or detained when there exists reasonable suspicion to believe they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit, an infraction or violation of the law.

It is the policy of this department to provide citizens with the highest degree of law enforcement services, regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, age, income status, sexual orientation, and religious or political affiliation.

A fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States to all who live in this nation is the right to equal protection under the law. Along with this right is the fundamental right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by government agencies. Citizens are free to walk and drive our streets, highways, and other public places without police interference so long as they obey the law. They are also entitled to be free from crime, and from the depredations of criminals, and to remain safe from the actions of reckless and careless drivers.

The Edgewater Police Department is charged with protecting these rights for all, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious or political affiliation, physical handicap or other belief system.

This policy is intended to assist the officers of the Edgewater Police Department in accomplishing this mission in a way that respects the dignity of all persons, and yet sends a strong deterrent message to actual and potential violators that if a law is violated, a police encounter will follow.

Although we do not have a method of accepting payment by phone, you are able to pay for a permit through our website. If you go to "Schedule an Inspection" under 'Building & Permitting', you can enter in your permit number and make a payment with a credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. If you are making a payment in person we also accept cash and checks.

•One dog and her puppies, in just six years, can produce 67,000 puppies.

•In seven years, one cat and her offspring can be the source of 420,000 cats.

•In the United States, every day, 70,000 (or more) puppies and kittens are born. Just 10,000 humans are born each day.

Who will take care of all these dogs and cats? It's not just a problem of too many -- each pet is an individual life.

Today, the department continues to operate a combination department with 28 career personnel and many volunteers, which makeup three divisions. The Operations Division is balanced in three platoons of firefighters that work shift work of on-duty for 24 hours and then off-duty for 48 hours. The three platoons staff two stations and respond to emergency and non-emergency request for service calls. The Life Safety Division is comprised of the fire marshal, who coordinates the fire prevention aspect of the fire service. Code Enforcement and Animal Services makeup the Community Services Division. A very active not-for-profit auxiliary that is made up of departmental members as well as their family members and other residents that want to support their community fire department also support the Department.

The auxiliary is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization and is commonly referred to as the Association. Along with fund-raising activities, the association sponsors many little league sports teams and supports the community through various activities. The association has also assisted in the coordination of the annual Fourth of July festivities for community for over 50 years. The association also garnishes support to the Operations Division by the provision of support personnel to do non-emergency tasks on large incidents and at trainings.

The Edgewater Fire Department has advanced a long way from a police chief carrying water tanks in the trunk of his patrol car responding to five brush fires per year, into a well-organized combination department responding to an average of 2,700 incidents annually. Not only has the department increased its call volume, it also has expanded the level of service to provide emergency medical services, hazardous materials response fire suppression, business inspections, emergency management, water rescue and a variety of public education courses including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, first aid and baby-sitter courses. The department also manages all aspects of code enforcement and animal services.

The department continues to pride itself on providing very cost effective services while assuring that the level of service or the customer service is never below the expectations of the community. As the department continues to plan for the future, the community can expect continuous expansion of the services that are offered to the citizens. The present goals will guide the department towards the ability to provide ambulance transport for the residents, increased working relationships with neighboring communities and additional home healthcare services delivered to patients confined to their homes.

All cardboard, thin or corrugated MUST be flattened and placed in or under the bin. There is no need to cut the cardboard if it is too large for the collection truck they will leave it and have another truck collect it.

In April of 1948 Fire Chief Cannon became ill and Elmer Bane was appointed acting Chief. Bane served as acting chief until October when he was elected chief and then served until 1952. The firemen were notified of fire by a siren that was installed on a pole at the corner of Park Avenue, which was located in the center of town. When there was a fire, one of the volunteer firemen that lived next to the siren would blow it. A shed to store their first fire truck an American LaFrance was constructed on Park Avenue where the water department is currently located. The shed was constructed by the firemen on evenings and weekends.

In 1948 the department had responded to five fire calls and conducted drills once a month. By 1951, the department responded to 26 fires. Because of the number of brush fires in the area, the year 1952 brought about some changes. Chief Banes wanted to purchase a unit with the capability of pumping from the front. When the department bought a new 1950 Seagrave Engine despite his protests, he, along with several members, quit in April of 1952.

In 1953, the men started a dues assessment on themselves to raise funds to purchase another fire truck. A used truck was purchased and fitted with a custom built tank. A pump and booster hose was then added. Later, 1 1/2 fire hose was purchased and installed. All of this was done by volunteers without assistance from the city. Meanwhile, the wives of the firemen formed the auxiliary to the department in 1953.

In 1957, a Board of Governors was installed by the Town Council to run the community center. The department assisted the board in the selling of raffle tickets to be used to purchase air conditioners for the center. The first Little Miss Edgewater contest was held at the community center on July 4, 1957, and was later changed to include Little Master.

In 1965 a new Class A Pumper was purchased for the department. Once the new apparatus was placed into service, the old Seagrave was retired from service. By the late ‘60s, the department again started to experience growing pains and plans were formulated for a new firehouse. Property was purchased further south - closer to the center of the shifting population. Ground was broken in 1972 and many hours by the volunteers were dedicated to the design and construction of the new larger firehouse. The volunteer firemen and their families again constructed the firehouse. The department moved to the new location in 1973. The apparatus bay of the old fire station became a storage facility for two years until the city remodeled it into a police station, which moved the police department out of City Hall. The old meeting room was turned over to the newly formed Edgewater Volunteer Emergency Rescue (EVER) department, which formed in 1975. EVER remained in the old firehouse until 1981 when the Edgewater Rotary built a new building next to the new firehouse. Then the police department used the old firehouse as their sole facility until the late ‘80s.

In 1976, the increase in brush fires lead to the purchase of a four-wheel drive truck, which was accommodated with a 200-gallon tank with a pump and a booster reel that was donated to the department by a local widowed doctor’s wife. Later in the year a mutual aid pact was signed with the Division of Forestry Services and the fire department received a used 500-gallon tanker in return. One of Edgewater’s largest structure fires took place in November of 1976 and started the workings of a countywide mutual aid agreement. This fire destroyed Coronado Paint Company, which was one of Edgewater’s largest manufacturing businesses and brought units from as far as Brevard County and the Kennedy Space Center. An incident of this magnitude proved multi-jurisdictional fire departments could work well together and initiated a mutual pact for all of Volusia County.

Fire Station #2 was completed in 1981 and housed additional brush trucks and apparatus purchased by the county to fulfill the agreement. The station was the fourth fire station that the volunteer firemen and their families had constructed for the city. That year continued to test the mutual aid agreement with large brush fires, including one in June. This fire was started by lightning in the Crane Swamp area west of Edgewater and burned for three months. The State Forestry took command, but many hours were spent by Edgewater’s volunteer firemen assisting with extinguishing the fire.

At the end of 1989, the fire department and the rescue department were joined together. Beforehand, they were completely separate with many members serving on both departments. In November of 1989, the city hired its first paid fire department members to create a combination career and volunteer department. The first hiring consisted of a fire chief and a lieutenant who were directed to hire an inspector and three additional firefighters. All staff members, with the exception of the fire chief, were hired from the volunteers. This made the department transition easier. The career members were scheduled to cover daytime hours during the week when the volunteer response was low due to the volunteers working regular jobs.

By 1995 the city continued to grow, as did the number of emergency incidents. Since the majority of the incidents were medical in nature and most of them required advanced life support, the city had decided to enhance the services with the addition of paramedics. With several members already having completed their paramedic training it was only a matter of obtaining appropriate equipment and licensing. The department identified the task as one of their goals and later began offering the enhanced services to the community on Dec. 25, 1995.

In 2001 the department experienced another transition as the city manager had initiated some reorganization and placed the Code Enforcement and Animal Services into the department. The additional responsibilities required the department to create another division in order to supervise these services. The Division of Community Services was created and was supervised by the fire marshal.

It's just what it sounds like: the water is flowing in the opposite direction from its normal flow. With the direction of flow reversed due to a change in pressures, backflow can allow contaminants to enter our drinking water system through cross-connections.

A potentially hazardous cross-connection occurs every time someone uses a garden hose sprayer to apply insecticides or herbicides to their lawn. Another cross-connection occurs when someone uses their garden hose to clear a stoppage in their sewer line.

Without a backflow prevention assembly between your hose and hose bibb (spigot or outside faucet), the contents of the hose and anything it is connected to can backflow into the piping system and contaminate your drinking water.

This hazardous situation can affect more than a single home. In 1977, an entire town in North Dakota had to be rationed drinking water from National Guard water trucks while the town's water distribution system was flushed and disinfected following contamination by DDT. Investigation determined that two residents spraying DDT had made direct cross-connections to their homes. A backflow condition had occurred, sucking the DDT through the home piping systems and out into the town's water distribution system.

Backflows due to cross-connections are serious plumbing problems. They can cause sickness and even death. However, they can be avoided by the use of proper backflow prevention assemblies. Each spigot at your home should have a hose bibb vacuum breaker installed. This is a simple, inexpensive assembly which can be purchased at any plumbing or hardware store. Installation is as easy as attaching your garden hose to a spigot.

The City of Edgewater provides a monthly utility bill.  It is often confused as a “water bill” when it is compared to other nearby communities’ monthly water bills. Your monthly utility bill is all inclusive (water, sewer, stormwater, garbage and recycling). In other cities many of these services are billed separately through annual tax assessment.

Beginning October 1, 2023 there is scheduled to be an increase (once approved by City Council) of fees for Water, Sewer, Stormwater and Solid Waste (Refuse and Recycling).  For households that use an average of 3,000 gallons per month, this means an increase of $.85 for Water, $.09 for Utility Tax (10% of Water) and $1.62 for Sewer per month. The Stormwater increases by $.50 per month with a Solid Waste (Recycling) increase of $.52 per month and Solid Waste (Refuse) increasing by $2.10 per month.

The funds derived from utility bills support projects crucial to the environment and utility infrastructure of the City such as:

• Expansion of reclaim water lines to provide reclaim irrigation water to other areas of the community, reducing discharge to the Indian River Lagoon
• Lining of older sewer lines to reduce rain water intrusion into the sewer system
• Routine repair and maintenance to the utility infrastructure
• Improved maintenance and cleaning of the storm water conveyance system with specialized equipment
• Future replacement of the Public Works facility
• Reasonable Assurance Plan improvement projects to clean storm water before it discharges to the Indian River or Hammock recharge area as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
• Replacement of older water lines for increased pressure and water quality
• Stormwater quality projects to reduce nutrients in rainwater runoff in accordance with the cooperative reasonable assurance plan
