What's different about septic in Fellsmere
Fellsmere is one of the places where the boundary genuinely matters. The city is named in the Central Indian River Lagoon BMAP, but only part of it falls inside the program area — the western reaches of the county are far enough from the lagoon to sit outside it entirely.
Sewer status
Because the boundary runs through this part of the county rather than around it, an address here can be in or out, and the difference is the entire cost of a 2030 upgrade. Check it on FDEP's lagoon map before you assume either way.
