For Immediate Release
Date: September 24, 2022 (10:00 AM)
Edgewater, Florida – With the possibility that weather related to Tropical Storm Ian could impact our community next week, the City has stocked three locations throughout the City with sand piles.
Sand pile locations:
- Fire Station 57 2628 Hibiscus Drive
- Mango Tree Lake 901 Mango Tree Drive
- Airpark staging area 1898 Airpark Road
Sand piles are:
- Accessible 24 hours a day
- Residents should bring their own shovels (and bags outside of staffed hours at Mango Tree Lake). Fire Station 57 and the Airpark staging area will not be staffed but will be accessible 24 hours per day.
- Bags may also be purchased at local home supply centers or double bagged, heavy duty garbage bags may be used.
Sand bag information:
- The Mango Tree Lake location will be staffed for sand bag distribution at Mango Tree Lake on:
- Sunday, September 25, 2022 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM
- Monday, September 26th – Wednesday, September 28th (weather permitting) from 1:00 PM to 6:30 PM
- 10 bags will be available per person with proof of Edgewater residency, while supplies last
Debris Information:
City crews are picking up vegetative debris today (Friday, September 23, 2022) as they follow the normal Friday trash routes. Residents are asked that any debris that is not picked up today be placed in City cans for pick up on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Residents are encouraged not to generate any additional unnecessary debris. Experiences with prior storms have shown that limbs are more sustainable intact on the trees versus as loose debris on the street. Loose vegetative debris must not be placed in drainage swales or canals as this can disrupt flow before, during and after the storm.
City actions:
Representatives from all City departments are in regular contact regarding the potential impact that this storm could have on our community. Stormwater and street infrastructure are being assessed to ensure all are functioning as designed. Parks and Recreation crews are assessing City Parks and taking precautionary measures by securing shade structures, park amenities and riverfront docks.
