Public Works - Fertilizer
Titusville continually works to address nutrient pollution in local waterways, especially in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). In January, 2014, the Titusville adopted Ordinance 36-2013 establishing regulations on fertilizer application within the City. Types of fertilizer that can be used, the blackout period for application, etc., are all defined in the ordinance.
Local waterways, including the (IRL), experience nutrient pollution from fertilizer and other nitrogen sources. Fertilizer enters waterways via stormwater runoff, by vaporizing and raining back down as atmospheric deposition, and by leaching into the groundwater. This nutrient overload leads to algae growth, which harms fish and wildlife.
