ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The City of St. Petersburg said that they shut off drinking water citywide at 12:00 a.m. Thursday. This is due to a water main break.
The City said that it will last until repairs are able to be made.
Some residents were already experiencing low water pressure or service interruptions prior to the shut off.
The City is also issuing a boil water notice for all water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth. Further testing will be conducted once the system is restored.
A Hardee County grandmother is on trial this week for leaving her 7-month-old granddaughter in a hot car where the baby died —the second grandchild to die under Tracey Nix's care. ABC Action News I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern sat down with Kaila Nix just days ahead of her mother's trial for aggravated manslaughter.
