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.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
