Some Zephyrhills residents asked to continue limiting water use

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. — City leaders updated residents Monday about water and sewer usage for some residents in the wake of the recent hurricanes.

In a news release, officials asked residents in the following areas to continue limiting their potable water usage and only flush toilets when absolutely necessary:

• Abbott Square neighborhood
• Oaks of Pasco neighborhood
• Links of Calusa Springs neighborhood
• Silver Oaks neighborhood
• Sarah Vande Berg Tennis & Wellness Center

These neighborhoods feed into Lift Station No. 28, which remains underwater, officials said. To maintain stability within the system, residents are urged to remain conservative with water usage.

For residents outside these areas, it is safe to resume normal water usage for daily activities such as cooking, laundry, showers and toilet flushing.

However, the city asks that all residents remain mindful of water consumption to help alleviate stress on the overall sewer system as it recovers.

Officials said updates will be provided as they become available.
