City of Palm Bay Septic to Sewer Program

The City of Palm Bay is offering a first-eligible, first-served program to cover the costs of abandoning septic tanks to hook up to the City's centralized sewer system. City Council has approved the use of $420,000 in State & Local Funding Recovery Funds under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

The City of Palm Bay has determined families living within a low-income area census tract, as designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), will have priority. Only homes having access to the City's Sewer lines are eligible.

For additional information, please visit our S2S Frequently Asked Questions webpage or email arpa@pbfl.org.
