UPDATE ON POTABLE (DRINKING WATER) SERVICE IN ST. PETE:
The City is responding to a water main break that will impact potable water services across the entire city. To address the issue and prevent further complications, the City is shutting off potable (drinking) water service citywide beginning at midnight tonight, October 9.
Residents and businesses should prepare for this temporary shutdown, which is expected to last until the necessary repairs can be completed. Repairs to the water line will begin once it is safe for crews to be outside. Affected areas may already be experiencing low water pressure or service interruptions.
The City is issuing a boil water notice for all potable water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth until further notice. Once the system is restored, further testing will be conducted to ensure water safety before lifting the boil water notice.
Once it is safe to do so, the City will work around the clock to address this issue. Updates will be provided through the City’s website, emergency alerts and social media channels.
