ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — St. Petersburg is looking into a major water main break that will impact potable water services across the city.
To address the issue, the city announced it would be shutting down drinking water services by midnight tonight. Water services were shut down in both the city of St. Petersburg and the city of Gulfport.
"Residents and businesses should prepare for this temporary shutdown, which is expected to last until the necessary repairs can be completed," officials stated in a news release. "Repairs 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 has also issued a boil water notice for all potable water used for drinking, cooking and brushing teeth in St. Pete and Gulfport until further notice.
