Lift station maintenance in Sebastian

Public sewer vs. private stations

The City of Sebastian does not run its own water and sewer utility. Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) provides water, wastewater, and reuse service to a major portion of the county’s population, including the City of Sebastian. Remaining residents are on private wells and septic tanks, City of Vero Beach Utilities, or City of Fellsmere Utilities. IRCDUS Customer Service is published at (772) 770-5300, with walk-in locations at the County Admin Complex (Building A, 1801 27th Street, Vero Beach) and a Sebastian office at Sebastian Corners Plaza, 1921 US Highway 1, Sebastian (office hours published 8:00 am to 5:00 pm).

IRCDUS Wastewater Collections staffs county-maintained lift stations. For private stations tied to new development, the county’s Utility Construction Permit checklist requires an engineer/owner acknowledgment letter and a copy of a 24/7 lift station maintenance agreement with a qualified service and repair company that has lift-station maintenance experience. County land-development rules (Chapter 918) also require private-system operators who are not yet on centralized sewer to run under a developer agreement with the utility department and to build pumps and lift stations when the department requires them.

Private community and commercial lift stations (the ones an HOA, condo association, property manager, or building owner still owns) are a different crew from county-owned stations. If the alarm is on a private wet well, pumps, or control panel in Sebastian or nearby Indian River County, call (561) 320-1924.

Indian River County Utilities publishes Customer Service at (772) 770-5300 for daytime accounts and after-hours water/wastewater emergency as (772) 231-7176 for county utility infrastructure, including county lift stations. Those numbers are not for private HOA or commercial station maintenance booked through PumpRoster.

Who this Sebastian page is for

• HOA and condo boards with a private community lift station
• Property managers for communities or commercial sites
• Commercial building and site managers
• Anyone whose problem is the private wet well, pumps, or controls (not a gravity septic tank and not a county-owned station)

Indian River County also runs septic-to-sewer conversion work that includes North Sebastian. The county’s published North Sebastian Phase 3 project (IRCDUS Project ID 21.26.505) covers about 168 homes near the Indian River Lagoon converting from septic to centralized sewer, with engineering and design underway. Countywide sewer-conversion workshops in September 2026 include sessions at the North Indian River County Library, 1001 Sebastian Boulevard, Sebastian. Those programs are municipal. This page is for community and commercial lift-station work.
