Palm Bay residents have expressed concerns over a significant sewage spill caused by Hurricane Milton despite the city's assurances that there are no health threats.

The City of Palm Bay is under fire for dumping almost 500,000 pounds of sewage during Hurricane Milton. The infrastructure failed, and lift stations overflowed all over the city. This isn’t a new issue for some Palm Bay residents who’ve been sounding the alarm about struggling infrastructure for years.

Palm Bay residents say raw sewage is spewing into waterways around Palm Bay Estates. New details from the city indicate some half-a-million pounds of waste was released into the environment during Hurricane Milton.

After making a Gulf Coast landfall, Milton is forecast to sustain hurricane strength while trekking east of Orlando and churning out over the Atlantic Ocean.
