The MacDill Ave road closure @ San Miguel St was caused by a water main break. City of Tampa has repaired the break, and performed an emergency repaving. Street is open again!

Great Happy Hour! Last night residents socialized and provided their feedback on potential neighborhood improvements we can work on together, and learned about infrastructure projects affecting our community. Hillsborough County, Florida Government Commissioner Harry Cohen even made a special appearance!

Special thanks to Samantha @ Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency Tampa for watching our smallest residents, and 1983 Restaurant, Bar & Arcade for hosting!

From City of Tampa Water Department:
As of yesterday, the Tampa Water Department will temporarily change its water disinfection process. During this period, the Department will use chlorine instead of chloramine to disinfect the water distributed to all Tampa Water Department customers.

This temporary change is part of routine maintenance that protects the quality of drinking water by preventing bacteria from occurring in our water lines. The switch to chlorine disinfection will be in effect from May 29, 2026, through June 19, 2026.

The water is perfectly safe to drink during this period, though you may notice a difference in the taste or odor of the water. If you already take special steps to remove chloramine from tap water, you will likely want to take the same precautions during this temporary switch to chlorine.

Please do not hesitate to call the Utilities Call Center if you have questions at (813) 274-8811. We also provide additional information on our website at http://tampa.gov/ChlorineDisinfection.

From May 29–June 19, Tampa will temporarily use chlorine to disinfect drinking water. Water remains safe; info on taste, odor, and FAQs provided.

The City of Tampa began the Empedrado Street Water Main Replacement Project on May 4th. They also provided the below timeline and document.

Timeline:
Each block is expected to take approximately 5–6 weeks for:

-Pipe installation
-Service installation and inspections
-Temporary paving

Afterward, crews will return for restoration work, service tie-ins, and pressure testing, which may vary in duration.

As additional blocks are completed, we’ll be able to provide a better timeline. At this time, the project remains on schedule to be completed by the end of October.

If you have any questions or concerns, email [email protected].
