CLEARWATER, Fla. (October 9, 2024) — Tampa Bay Water’s regional water supply system and some facilities are experiencing power outages from Hurricane Milton. The regional supplier continues to run critical facilities on generator power but is asking residents to begin conserving water immediately to help maintain water supply to Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties, and cities of New Port Richey and St. Petersburg.
Work to restore power may not occur until impacts from Hurricane Milton subside. Until then, residents are urged to limit water use until power is restored.
