announced plans to replace the plant with a more efficient natural gas-powered plant in 2013 with a 1,250 megawatt capacity, which can supply 250,000 homes or businesses. Near FPL's plant is the Indian River Power Plant; formerly owned by the Orlando Utilities Commission, it is now owned and operated by RRI Energy. In 2016, FPL had 304,400 customers in Brevard. Florida City Gas furnishes natural gas to various areas of the county. Communication The area code for most of the county became "321" in 1999, as in the "3...2...1... lift-off!" countdown sequence. A small portion of the county along the southern border, including the communities of Micco and Barefoot Bay, share a 772 area code with Indian River County and St. Lucie County, Florida to the south. Solid waste The county government maintains various landfills for solid waste. Brevard County Central Disposal Facility is located in Cocoa, has a size and receives annually around 275,000 tonnes of waste. In 2013, the county planned a new $100 million landfill, north of U.S. Route 192, near the border with Osceola County, west of I-95. The county has awarded a $3.9 million contract for a wetlands mitigation for this new landfill. In 2013, the county, for the first time, let a seven-year contract out for bids for solid waste. The resulting contract is expected to cost $1 billion over the lifetime of the contract, the county's largest single contract. This was the first time in 20 years, a bid was requested. In the past, Waste Management, Inc has performed the work, not only for the county but for 9 of 16 Brevard municipalities. Waste Pro has five of the remaining municipal contracts. Rockledge and Titusville maintain their own trash service. In 2013, the county directly contracts for solid waste pickup for 100,000 residences. Water In 2013, the county consumed about daily. Landscape irrigation accounted for about half of this usage. In 2017, there were five municipal entities selling water (figures in parentheses are millions of gallons/day): Cocoa (22), Melbourne (19), Palm Bay (6), Titusville (2), and West Melbourne (1). The fifth, Brevard County (1), is low because county areas outside the preceding cities, purchase their water from those cities. Wastewater The county controls six Wastewater Treatment Facilities: Mims (/day), Port St. John (/day), South Central (Viera) (/day), South Beaches, and Barefoot Bay area. Some cities have wastewater treatment plants, as well. Media Brevard
