32901 takes in the historic heart of Melbourne: downtown along New Haven Avenue, the streets around Crane Creek, the US 1 riverfront, Florida Tech and the airport. It's some of the oldest housing in the city, much of it on mature lots with big trees and long-established lawns.
City water reaches nearly every street here, so the wells we hear about in 32901 are mostly irrigation wells, many of them decades old. Old pumps, old fittings and old check valves are the theme.

- An older jet pump that has started losing prime every few days.
- A pump humming at the start of the watering cycle (often a tired capacitor).
- Rusted, leaking fittings on the suction line.
- Orange staining on older driveways and walls from iron.
Worth knowing
On older systems, the fault often isn't the pump. A cracked fitting on the suction side lets in just enough air to break prime. Fix that and a pump with plenty of life left keeps going.
Common questions
Is 32901 on city water?
Almost all of it is. Most well work here is on irrigation wells, plus the occasional older property still using a household well.
My old sprinkler pump keeps losing prime. Replace it?
Not necessarily. An air leak or failing check valve is the usual cause, and both are cheaper than a pump.
Do you cover Florida Tech and the airport area?
Yes. Homes across 32901 are covered.
