Flood Insurance Savings
Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) Program
The city’s improved rating provides a 25% flood insurance discount for residents. Daytona Beach property owners and renters with flood insurance policies receive reduced premiums due to the city’s proactive efforts to reduce flood risk. The city achieved a Class 5 rating in the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (CRS), improving from its previous classification. This rating results in a 25% discount on most National Flood Insurance Program policies issued or renewed on or after Oct. 1, 2024. The city voluntarily participates in the CRS program, which recognizes communities that implement floodplain management practices exceeding federal requirements to reduce flood risk.
Over the past five years, the city has invested $7.8 million in cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining.
CIPP is a no-dig rehabilitation method used to line aging sewer and stormwater pipes. This process reduces costs, minimizes disruptions to residents and businesses and improves system capacity and reliability while extending the life of existing infrastructure.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Flood Study
In 2024, the city partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a comprehensive flood control study in the area bounded by Nova Canal, Orange Avenue, Ridgewood Avenue and Beville Road. More than 25 experts are collaborating on this three-year federal study. A final report is expected in 2027.
Resiliency Grants for Water and Wastewater Projects
The city received more than $54 million in forgivable state loans to harden and modernize its water and wastewater systems, helping protect essential services before, during and after major storms.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) allocated: $19.17 million from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) $35.14 million from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)
These allocations come from the Supplemental Appropriation for Hurricanes Helene and Milton and Hawai‘i Wildfires (SAHM), a federal program created in response to recent catastrophic natural disasters. The SAHM program offers 100% principal forgiveness to communities that meet “financially disadvantaged” criteria, which Daytona Beach does based on census data.
