Utilities Department

Pinellas County Utilities is offering one-time rebates to eligible sewer customers for 50% of the cost of private sewer lateral replacement or rehabilitation up to $3,500. Rebates are limited and will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. Visit privatesewer.pinellas.gov to learn more.

Severe drought conditions and declining water supplies have led the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) to issue a Modified Phase III “Extreme” Water Shortage Order. This elevated restriction level emphasizes the urgent need for customers throughout Pinellas County and surrounding areas to take immediate action to conserve water. Pinellas County Utilities customers must follow the mandatory watering schedule and restrictions.

Pinellas County Utilities will temporarily change its water disinfection process to chlorine from Monday, May 18 through Saturday, June 6. During this time, drinking water may smell or taste slightly different but there will be no impact to water pressure or service.
