South County residents urged to limit unnecessary water use

As permanent repairs continue on the 42-inch force main at South Cross Bayou Water Reclamation Facility, the recent extremely heavy rainfall has contributed to 55 million gallons of water per day currently coming into the facility. This heavy volume of wastewater is stressing an already overburdened system.

Residents of south Pinellas County are urged to limit unnecessary water use that would further stress the capacity at South Cross, such as laundry, showering and toilet flushing.
