Gulf Breeze water recedes, health concerns rise

UPDATE 8:42 a.m. CDT May 6, 2014

With 16 industrial-sized pumps chugging away and another on the way, the city of Gulf Breeze could be 90 percent sucked dry of the nasty, bacteria-filled floodwater by Wednesday afternoon.

"That's our projection," said Thomas Lambert, assistant director of public services. "We got all of our pumps out. Water is going down. And we're just keeping our eyes on the forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It looks like rain is coming back."

After SWS Environmental Services pumping truck made great headway draining Washington Street on Monday — at a rate of 9,000 gallons of water per hour — Lambert says the company is bringing in a second truck today to help suck up pockets of water that aren't draining elsewhere in the city.
