St. Petersburg is shutting off drinking water service starting at midnight on Oct. 10.
It’s in response to a major water main break, which will impact drinking water services in St. Petersburg and Gulfport, according to news releases.
Residents and businesses should prepare for the shutdown, which is expected to last until the issue is fixed. Repairs will start once it’s safe for crews to go outside. Affected areas may already see low water pressure or cuts in service.
St. Petersburg is also issuing a boil water notice for all water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth. Once the system is fixed, the city will undergo further testing to make sure the water is safe before lifting the notice.
