Ahead of expected heavy rain, Pasco County reminds of sandbag sites

In anticipation of heavy rain this week, Pasco County is reminding residents that two sandbag stations are available to help protect property in low-lying areas from potential flooding.  

Sand and sandbags are available at the following locations: 

  • Pasco County Public Works (C-Barn), 30908 Warder Road, San Antonio 
  • Magnolia Valley Golf Course, 7223 Massachusetts Ave., New Port Richey 

Both sandbag locations are self-serve and are open 24 hours to Pasco County residents.

Sand and sandbags will be restocked between sunrise and sunset through Sunday, July 6.  

Residents should bring a shovel, and be prepared to fill their own sandbags.

Meanwhile, New Port Richey officials have opened sandbag locations as well.

  • Sandbags: Public Works Operations Center – 6132 Pine Hill Road
  • Sand: Adjacent to the Public Works Fleet Maintenance & Warehouse – 6420 Pine Hill Road
  • Dates: Wednesday, July 2 & Thursday, July 3, 2025

Dates and times are subject to change based on weather conditions.

What to Bring:

• Proof of residency (e.g., utility bill or government-issued ID)

• Shovels will not be provided – this is a self-serve site

• Limit: 10 sandbags per household
