Continued conservation of reclaimed water needed

Because of the reduced availability of reclaimed water, Pinellas County reclaimed water will continue to be unavailable on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays while the system is shut-down for maintenance and storage level recovery. Customers are encouraged to continue limiting their reclaimed water use to help with this resource recovery initiative.

During the past several months, storage levels of reclaimed water declined to the point of exhausting the water in storage and potentially damaging pump equipment. As the return of seasonal rainfall helps stabilize reclaimed water supplies, the reclaimed water system’s capacity will be re-evaluated. This shut-down schedule is anticipated to remain in effect until storage levels recover, at which time the reclaimed water system will be returned to full operation.

Pinellas County appreciates customers’ patience, understanding and cooperation. For more details, please call Customer Service regarding reclaimed water at (727) 464-4000, or visit www.pinellascounty.org/utilities.
