County Data Read · Trailing 12 Months

What the Data Shows in Marion County

FDEP public notices record 5 sanitary sewer releases in Marion County over the trailing 12 months, totaling 5,100 gallons of reported volume. By volume, Marion County ranks 35 of 38 reporting counties. One event accounts for 5,000 gallons, the largest in the Marion County window. The most recent notice is dated June 26, 2026. With 5 reported releases, asset age carries more weight in Marion County than event volume. Marion County is predominantly newer construction, with US Census ACS housing age estimates placing only 24.8% of 183,453 housing units before 1980. Median structure age across Marion County runs about 31 years. A newer profile shifts the Marion County emphasis toward stormwater system cleaning, grease control, and lateral connections.

Trailing 12 month rainfall over Marion County came in light at 28.2 inches, on 100% NOAA station coverage. A dry window understates risk, because Marion County never saw the groundwater that exposes infiltration and inflow. No active Clean Water Act enforcement is on record for Marion County in EPA ECHO, so budget cycles set the schedule. Marion County sits in Central Florida, and its numbers read best next to Citrus and Lake counties. Statewide capability reaches Marion County, with crews mobilized to the county and held until the work is documented.
