Sunday on the Space Coast: Nov. 8, 2026

Palm Bay Utilities has rescinded the precautionary boil-water notice for listed Hollow Brook Lane, Brookshire Circle, Corey Road and nearby addresses, effective Sunday, Nov. 8, after service was restored and bacteriological testing showed the water is safe to drink, according to a city utilities notice; WESH also reported the lift, and customers on those streets no longer need to boil water. The Friday afternoon notice followed a water main break that shut off service around 2:30 p.m. Friday, first reported by WESH and WFTV and confirmed in a Brevard Emergency Operations Center update, and it is separate from the earlier Port Malabar Boulevard NE main-break boil-water notice.

The St. Johns River near Cocoa was at 16.97 feet at 7:15 p.m. Sunday, according to an NWS Melbourne Flood Warning issued at 8:07 p.m. The weather service said exceptional rainfall over the river's headwaters has caused moderate to major flooding at the gauge west of Cocoa, and the river may rise slightly early this week and stay in major flood stage through at least Friday; flood stage is 16 feet, and at 17.2 feet, water enters homes in the Lake Poinsett area west of Cocoa, Silver Pines in Rockledge and Shakespeare Park in Cocoa, and Providence Road west of Cocoa becomes impassable. The warning runs until further notice, and the next statement is due Monday morning at 11 a.m. See NWS Melbourne for the latest river forecasts and the weather service's flood safety tips.
