48-Hour Boil Notice For City Water Customers in South Tampa

A power outage at the city's main water treatment plant is to blame for the recommended precaution.

South Tampa residents who get their water from the city are being asked to boil their water for at least the next 48 hours.

A power outage at the City of Tampa’s David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility is the reason for the extra precautions. The outage has caused a temporary low pressure problem for some Tampa Water Department Customers and a complete loss of service for others, according to the city’s website.

Tampa Electric Co. and city crews are both onsite working to resolve the power outage.
