Lake Washington Road crosses north Melbourne, linking neighborhoods between US 1 and I-95. It's named for Lake Washington, the lake on the St. Johns River west of the city that supplies most of Melbourne's tap water. Communities along the corridor include the Villas of Lake Washington and the streets around Wickham Road.
Call (321) 220-9883Wells along the corridor
Most homes here drink city water and run a separate irrigation well. A few older and larger properties may still have household wells.
Common faults
- Pumps running nonstop because a zone valve sticks open.
- Short cycling on systems with a small tank.
- Submersibles that need testing after a storm trips the breaker.
Common questions
Is my water from Lake Washington?
If you're on City of Melbourne water, most of it comes from Lake Washington plus deep wells. Your irrigation well is separate.
My pump runs even when the sprinklers are off. Why?
A zone valve stuck open or a leak is usually the reason. Switch the pump off at the breaker and call.
Do you cover both sides of Wickham Road?
Yes.
