Reclaimed Water Restrictions in Place for North Pinellas

North Pinellas County reclaimed-water customers are restricted to using the water twice weekly.

The temporary restrictions are in place until seasonal rainfall returns to normal. It is an effort to help the reservoir recover, officials say levels are so low it could potentially damage pump equipment.

This affects about 4,800 reclaimed water customers.

The Pinellas County Utilities started isolating the system to allow it to refill June 20. The restrictions went into place Thursday.

Restrictions are expected to last until early July.

Watering is not allowed between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

• Water is limited to three days for customers who live south of Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The water is not available Monday to allow for reservoir recovery. Residents with homes ending in even numbers can water Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Odd numbered, no numbers or mixed addresses can water Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

• The water is available two days a week to customers who live north of Curlew Road. Residents who live south of Alderman Road and to the west of U.S. 19 can water Tuesday and Saturday.
