Aerobic treatment units are required on many Brevard County properties near waterways, with high water tables, or where lot size prevents a conventional drainfield. Properties along the Indian River, Banana River, and the numerous canals running through Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach, and the barrier islands from Cocoa Beach to Melbourne Beach are most commonly required by FDEP to use ATUs rather than conventional systems — the 75-foot surface water setback rule eliminates conventional drainfields on many of these lots.
Florida law requires a maintenance contract for all permitted aerobic systems with regular service visits to keep the system in compliance with FDEP OSTDS rules. If your aerobic system's alarm is sounding, the pump isn't running, or your yard shows signs of failure, you need a contractor who understands ATU technology. A malfunctioning ATU that discharges untreated effluent to the ground or a nearby canal is an FDEP violation — not just a repair issue. We connect homeowners in Melbourne, Viera, Palm Bay, Rockledge, and across the Space Coast with licensed aerobic system specialists who handle emergency calls and annual maintenance contracts.
⚠️ If your aerobic system alarm is going off, this is time-sensitive — call same day.

Why is my aerobic system alarm going off?
An aerobic system alarm typically indicates the aerator pump has failed, the effluent pump has failed, the water level is abnormal, or the control panel has detected a malfunction. Do not ignore the alarm — a malfunctioning ATU can discharge untreated effluent to your yard or a nearby waterway, which is both a health hazard and an FDEP violation. Call a contractor the same day.
How often does an aerobic system need service in Florida?
Florida requires a maintenance contract for all permitted aerobic systems, typically mandating service visits every 3–6 months. These visits include inspection of the aerator, effluent pump, control panel, spray heads, and chlorine levels. Skipping service visits risks permit non-compliance.
Why are aerobic systems required in some parts of Brevard County?
Aerobic systems are required on lots where conventional drainfields can't meet Florida's minimum setback requirements from surface water, where soil conditions don't support adequate drainfield absorption, or where lot size is insufficient. Properties within 75 feet of surface water — common along the Indian River, Banana River, and canals throughout Brevard — are most frequently required to use ATUs.
